A Change of Perception of Today's Cheras

Today's Cheras is totally different from the Cheras we used to know 10 years ago. The younger generations here now are much more knowledgeable in terms of buying houses. They know exactly what a nice house is. Simply a bare big house concept doesn't work in Cheras anymore. They want modern design, practical layout and also neighbourhood.

It's not an easy task to find such houses in Cheras at this juncture. The big developers know very well about this. That's why Dijaya, Mah Sing, IJM, Glomac, Mutiara Goodyear and Singapore's Lum Chang are here in Cheras and they are doing very well.

Bandar Mahkota Cheras is one of the up and coming townships in Cheras. We have received a lot of inquiries on bungalow houses in Bandar Mahkota Cheras but there are no supply at all. Old fashioned houses with small layout and low ceiling are not in favoured. No matter how you renovate it, you will never achieve what today's modern design can give you. Moreover, the renovation cost is so expensive nowadays.

The modern contemporary and minimalist design with single pitch roof, high ceiling and full height glass panels are the design they are looking for. This is the trend in Cheras today. Just take a look at the newly launched projects like One Lagenda by Mah Sing, Taming Mutiara 2 (by Tanming) and Eastpark 72 (by Lion). Also, take a look at the design of the multi-million house in Singapore's Sentosa Cove, then you know what we mean...

(Left) This is one of the old houses available in Cheras. Be prepared to spend couple of hundred thousand to renovate it. If you solely renovate it, you can also never achieve the high ceiling
effect as given by the new design unless you demolish it and rebuild. If so, it definitely will cost you more! (Below) This is one of the modern bungalow designs that are in demand now. A simple and neat design that give you a lot of natural lighting and comfort.


Seri Maya Condominium, Jalan Jelatek

Seri Maya is a condominium comprising of lowrise and highrise apartments with a total units of 1400 apartment approximately. There are 2 lap pools, 3 gymansiums, 3 children playgrounds and 24hr security. It is located 4km away from KLCC, close to amenities, particularly the Putra LRT Station (the LRT to KLCC & PJ) is situated right opposite Seri Maya. 90% of the occupants are expatriates.

In view of the current economy slowdown, Seri Maya has become an alternative dwellings for KLCC expatriates. There are a lot of tenants (expatriates) migrated from KLCC condo to Seri Maya - reasons being, Seri Maya is easily accessible to KLCC via LRT, expats community, safe living environment, more greens and much more affordable!
