Sri Cassia, Bandar Puteri Puchong

Sri Cassia is a freehold condominium located in Puchong. A long time completed project by an unknown developer, all units were fully sold with some owners now releasing their units for sale. Consisting of 3 blocks and only 5 storeys, it is a quaint development that appeals to families. It has an average built up of 855 sf per unit containing three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The best price being offered for a unit here now starts from RM230,000, and it carries a minimum rental price of RM900.

As Sri Cassia was completed and fully sold quite a while ago, all units for sale now are pre-owned, which carries its own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that many of the units for sale are partially furnished, leaving the new owners a ragtag set of furniture for their use with maybe an extended kitchen and a few units of air conditioners, and also the fact that some of the units have been renovated upon to beautify them. The disadvantage on the other hand is that some of the units might not have been very well maintained, and new owners might need to do a bit of renovation themselves.

The facilities provided in Sri Cassia are as anticipated of condominiums. Residents will get covered parking lots, and there is a jogging track, playground, badminton hall, barbecue pits and swimming pool for evening activities. A lounge is also available for siestas and a nursery available to park children in while adults are having their siestas. Security is taken care of by the 24-hours security guards.

Being set on the outskirts of a matured township, Sri Cassia is close to the many necessary amenities required of life. There are several schools in the area which are SM Pusat Bandar Puchong 1, SK Pusat Bandar Puchong 1 and SK Pusat Bandar Puchong 2. The Giant supermarket is 5 minutes away as well as the Columbia Asia Medical Centre. A few more minutes further are Setiawalk, Tesco and IOI Mall. There are also many eateries within walking distance of the home. Residents will have easy access to the LDP highway, giving them mobility to the town area. The Bukit Jalil Highway and Kesas Highway close to their homes will provide residents with additional routes to the city centre.

Analysis

Sri Cassia is set on the outskirts of Puchong, ensuring that there will be no traffic congestion within the neighbourhood; residents will only need to endure traffic woes when they head towards the town or city. From all accounts, residents find Sri Cassia a pleasant place to stay in and recommend it highly for new families. However this apartment might not be the best for all families as it is a walk-up apartment that does not provide lifts for the elderly or the less capable.

As an investment Sri Cassia does not show much appreciation in price over the years, perhaps due to its location. In the year 2010 this property was selling for an average of RM150,000 to RM195,000 and now 3 years later it is selling for RM230,000 onwards. As a long term investment Sri Cassia might prove fruitful, but at the moment it is certainly more suitable as a permanent residence for young families.
