Hi, i m new but like to share.
is there a hill at the 2.5 storey's site? thought it looks like a big stoney zone which the developer has had to leave it there as it is not cost effective to blast it. in fact, the site becomes lower to its surrounding roads, including this 'stone'.
also, the design with a pool on top floor is just above its masterbedroom (on first floor), fengsui wise may be not quite comfortable?
just my feels, no offence pls.
thx

I chose the 2.5 storey Grandis Palms over a 2 storey (26 x 80 superlink) unit at USJ Heights for several reasons:
1. it is not directly situated next to a highway, being on higher ground with a good allowance of space between the neighbourhood and the Elite Expressway, unlike USJ Heights, it is bordered by the Kesas (immediately behind the Kayangan Putera linked-units), Elite on the other side and the industrial factories on another side - all directly next to its perimeter. You can argue that it's probably just a mental block that I have with regards to these factors, and it may be true, but I feel I will sleep better knowing that I am not breathing in first layer of polluted air from all the non-stop vehicle flow just behind or next to my house.
2. it is not criss-crossed with the many high tension cables and pylons like what you can find at USJ Heights.
3. the charm of Grandis Palms 2.5 storey is the hill it has for a view - what a soothing sight everytime I look at the greens. Even if its(the hill) developed in future, there will still be some decent greens in sight to enjoy. the so called roof-top garden is a big appeal - for once having a balcony makes sense since one can nicely sit out be it morning or evening when the stars come out and fully enjoy the breeze and view (of the hill and greens in daytime) . Remember the time when all the balconies one sees in linked-homes which are either used for drying clothes or just left empty because there is simply no view nor reason to sit out?
4.the future availability of a lake which is situated next to this development - will complete the neighbourhood nicely as going for morning and evening walks would be a great advantage to the residents.
5. Price tag - some have argued that it is way overpriced, but if I take into consideration the wide roads and generous allocation of greeneries with walkways around the entire neighbourhood and with security provided, and the fact that the interior fittings provided are already of decent standards, whereby it reduces the need to spend another substantial sum for renovations, the price is pretty good. It is meant to be move-in condition, hence you would only need to do the built-ins and other functional installations to suit your individual needs and not a major renovation.
I am a person who appreciates and values simple things like trees & birds, breeze/wind, moonlight and stars, and morning dew, sunrises and sunsets, blue skies and rain - everyday nature which makes a day complete and meaningful. All these seem to be lost in what is considered "urbanisation" today and what I would consider leading us to a society that is losing its "soul" and connection to nature.
To be seen as having a successful life, it is not about living in the most expensive neighbourhood, nor the grandest looking one. What is quality of life when despite having a pretty expensive house, but find that your furniture, draperies and all else constantly tainted by the dirty air generated by cars, lorries and trucks' exhaust, or from factories emitting pollutants daily. Just leave a white fluffy teddy bear uncovered in any part of your home, and see how fast it turns a dark shade!
I think the Putra Palms development has a distinct advantage when it comes to cleaner air and a better offering in terms of greeneries and also a totally therapeutic effect vis-a-vis the view of the hill.
