Taman Wawasan is a housing estate located in the district of Lukut in Port Dickson. The houses here all sit upon leasehold land, which affects its price, making houses here highly affordable. The developer of this housing development is Mega 3 Housing, a developer that focuses mainly on housing developments in the state of Negeri Sembilan.Taman Wawasan is a fairly new housing development, hence the houses are quite well kept and those which are unoccupied are all still in rather good condition. Prices of the houses here are highly affordable, as the ones on auction start selling at prices as low as RM 54,000 only while a brand new corner lot unit only costs RM149,000; a price that is highly acceptable for a single storey terrace house of decent proportions with built ups of 912 sf in a land area of 2,850 sf.Most of the houses in Taman Wawasan are being sold as bare and unfurnished, as it is a relatively new neighbourhood. Contrary to popular practice in the city, none of the houses for sale here have been even partially furnished to increase its value. However, the large gardens that come with the houses compensate for the lack of conveniences, as it is seldom possible to get a landed property with a large compound these days.Being a medium low cost development, Taman Wawasan does not have a security system much less be within a gated and guarded area. However the residents need not worry too much about it, as crime rate in the area is still very low and taking evening walks is still safe and possible in this area. There is also an unfortunate lack of entertainment for the children, as there are no playgrounds in the vicinity.Although Taman Wawasan may seem disappointing to some in terms of facilities provided, there are many who will appreciate the fact that the famous white beaches of Port Dickson is a mere 10 minutes drive away, a distance that may be a invigorating walk or a leisurely bicycle ride away. The local hypermarket closest to it is Giant, which is a mere 8 minutes away while a wide array of eateries and national schools serve the area. Banking facilities might not be as conveniently accessed, however it is fortunate that the main medical institute, the Port Dickson Hospital is only 20 minutes away by car.The main road that connects Taman Wawasan to the beaches of Port Dickson is Jalan Seremban which connects to Jalan Bakar Sampah and Jalan Pantai, while the city centre of Kuala Lumpur is just as easily accessed via the North - South Expressway which is about a half an hour's drive away. Public transportation here may be scarce, but residents don't sweat it as cycling is a much more pleasant way to get around here for short distances.

Some of the developer's other projects besides Taman Wawasan are Bukit Mika, Taman Jasmin Indah, Taman Jasper Jaya and Taman Mantau Indah 2 which are all in Negeri Sembilan as well. Although the developer's works are all good and well designed, the take up is still on the slow side due to its less than central location.However due to Taman Wawasan's location, traffic congestion will never be an issue unless there is a sudden and extreme influx of residents. Traffic is usually clear at all times, even during peak seasons when holiday goers make their way to the beaches. The most of the congestion that may happen would be the one caused by the night markets, where throngs of pedestrians cross the roads in large groups to make their way to the stalls from the beach.The Taman Wawasan neighbourhood may not be exclusive, but it offers one of the best locations for those who prefer staying close to the sea. However buying a house here comes with its risks as well, as this area is prone to floods during the monsoon period. People blame it on the small drains that made it impossible for water to flow smoothly. The year of 2013 was a bad time for many residents when many houses were covered in water up to their roofs.The houses at Taman Wawasan may not be good for an investment, as properties in Port Dickson are abundant and there is usually more supply than demand. However, for those who are migrating here for work or are looking for a retirement home with a small budget, Taman Wawasan will be an ideal choice; though taking an insurance policy to protect against natural disasters will be highly recommended.
