Analysis

Location wise, Mont Kiara Sophia is near to Sprint Highway, which is directly connected to NKVE highway. The area is also easily accessible as it is not so secluded from main area of Mont Kiara. Located along Jalan Kiara 1, Mont Kiara International School is only about 200 m away from the condo. So, if you have a family with children and planning to move in to this area, you might want to consider sending them to this school. Of course if money is not a matter because most international schools can be costly. Other schools in the vicinity of Mont Kiara Sophia include Garden International School at about 700 m away, and also SMK Taman Sri Hartamas at about 1 km away. There are still other schools which are nearby, but they are located more than a kilometer away from Mont Kiara Sophia.Although the condo is more than 10 years old, Mont Kiara Sophia still have the ability to fetch a handsome subsale price. Initially it was launched at about RM200 to RM300 psf, but as of September 2014 the subsale price starts at RM710,000, and maybe even more depending on who the seller/agent is. One reason for the units being so expensive is probably the quality of the materials used during the construction. Besides the materials, the resort-like feeling of Mont Kiara Sophia also adds to its price. However, there is also a price to pay for its long lasting works. Residents are required to pay RM0.47 psf for maintenance fee. It may not be cheap for but it is worth every cent to own a nice place at Mont Kiara Sophia.Those who bought Mont Kiara Sophia at launched price definitely managed to earn something out of this property. As for now, this condominium will be more appropriate for staying instead of investment purposes. Partly because this property is already quite old and there are some units left which are vacant. Nobody would want to stay near a unit which is vacant as the value of the property will depreciate a lot.In terms of design, Mont Kiara Sophia looks like an exotic resort at the main entrance. This could be due to the landscaping of the area. The condominium offers a lot of greens in the area making it look more natural and exotic. There are a lot of plants along the vicinity of the condominium. Buyers should also note that Mont Kiara Sophia has also won many awards in terms of landscaping, probably because of its excellent maintenance of the 6.6 acres of land. The natural look was one of the factors which attracted many buyers / investors to purchase a unit during the launch. The two towers are painted with a very dull green which is not a very suitable color. It would be better if it was painted with a refreshing colors such as white or orange.
