CONDO vs 2-STOREY HOUSE

We are in the midst of searching for our love pad. Its a tough decision since we have very different tastes and yeah..limited budget. As next week I am starting my new job at an O&G company in the Mines, whereas, Superman still working in Setiawangsa, we need to find someplace located in the middle. Nice as well as easy to access. We don't fancy living in jungle:) Currently or at least until next year, we decided to rent. After selling our Kemuning house, it seems like every other options seemed pathetic. Nothing yet that screams BUY!!!!!!! Pathetic pockets of ours as well as pathetic housing options either by location or design or both.

But we can't be giving up so soon aite? What's more now that we are living temporarily with my mom in Kajang. Never a definite choice for a newly weds like us! I became somewhat lazy and uninspired. And its a bad thing to show off to my dear hubby. Geez!! 

This morning we went for house viewing at Sg Long, Kajang. One of the best choice in terms of location. Price-wise, ermmhh, so-so. Didn't expect it to be priced that high! So who says Kajang is no contender?! So firstly, we viewed a condo property, Greenview Residence.

Really nice kan???

I immediately fell in love. Especially for the fact that it have a swimming pool! My knees went weak, so as my heart. And it was breathtaking! Actually that was the first reason I wanted the property so bad! Even the unit has a really nice view+big space. The security, superb. Very calm and clean environment. I don't see any reason for us to say No. Not even a slight 1% No. The rental price, just a tad RM150 more from our original budget. Hubby was not really keen. As expected. Ha ha!

The next property, was a 2-storey terrace house at Palm Walk. I realized that a good percentage of the properties in Sg Long was built with brick face walls. Easy maintenance. Just use water jet to clean up the surfaces! Hehe..I tried to open up my mind. The rental is cheaper.

But I almost jumped out of joy for the fact that the design was a bit silly! Maid's room as huge as the kitchen?! Yes, I can see myself swimming in the condo pool already! And finally, Mr Superman had to agree for the number one choice. Yeay!!!!!

But then, what is your choice for house to buy?
