What recent reviews say

Location and location close to public transport are strong draws, and grounds are mature and well-kept. Security presence is visible and most guards are courteous. However, management repeatedly shows poor attitudes when interacting with residents and tenants, repairs take weeks or remain incomplete, and parking rules are enforced inconsistently. Lifts fail often, air-conditioning is lacking in common areas, and security protocols appear more punitive than protective.

Praised for
  • convenient location near MRT and shopping
  • friendly and polite guards
  • well-maintained grounds and landscaping
  • family-friendly access policies
  • good facilities (gym, pool)
Watch-outs
  • arrogant and rude management and security staff
  • slow and minimal maintenance repairs
  • broken lifts and faulty access cards
  • parking fees and enforcement inconsistencies
  • poor ventilation and stale odours
  • unsafe environment due to overcrowding and unaddressed incidents

Best for: families seeking a centrally-located complex with established grounds and proximity to public transport.
Think twice if: you need responsive maintenance or rely on professional, courteous staff interaction; management attitudes and repair delays are persistent concerns.

Strengths

  • close to MRT Bandar Utama and One Utama
  • mature landscaping and grounds
  • gym and swimming pool

Worth knowing

  • rental agent named Sho noted for slow repairs (up to two weeks) and emotional responses to complaints
  • one cleaning worker criticized for minimal work and reporting to agent
  • lifts break down frequently
  • access card scanning system is unreliable at guard post
  • parking: visitor fee RM3 per day or RM15 monthly; only one car plate registered per lot; clamping enforcement inconsistent
  • one long-term incident involving resident with mental health crisis (2022-2023) that management did not resolve

Residents appreciate the affordable rates and welcoming community atmosphere, but face recurring issues with broken lifts, dirty common areas, and chronic parking shortages. The building is ageing, and management responsiveness is inconsistent.
