East Utama is a small-scale development that places 18 units of 3-storey terrace houses at Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya. CK East Group is the developer of this leasehold project, and they managed to complete it by December 2013.Two rows of houses line up facing one another, with a sky garden connecting all the units at East Utama on the first floor. There are five different layouts for East Utama, but they did not differ much as they all have the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms.Interesting elements at East Utama are the rooftops, which can be utilised however the occupant want it to, and the two master bedrooms and living rooms in all the units. The small differences between all the units are the existence of a garden (one single only), and the choice to either have a covered or an open rooftop (for four units). A wide parking bay for two cars is available on the ground floor. Surely, security personnel will be guarding the compound, as this is a guarded residential area.The location proves to be a very good one, with a huge selection of amenities can be enjoyed by the residents of East Utama. The well-known malls in the area such as One Utama, The Curve, IKEA, Ikano Power Center and Tropicana City Mall are the top-notch options. 10 Boulevard and Atria Shopping Centre are nice additions to the list. Educational institutions are many, as are recreational clubs. SK Bandar Utama, SMK Damansara Jaya, SRJKT Effingam, KBU International College, KDU University College and Malaysia University of Science and Technology are some of the former while Tropicana Golf & Country Resort, Kelab Golf Sri Selangor, Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club and Saujana Golf & Country Resort are the options for the latter.Fortunately, the Kelana Jaya train station and the Bandar Utama Express Bus Terminal are nearby to East Utama to serve the masses. East Utama residents who choose to drive will do so on Damansara - Puchong Highway (LDP) and SPRINT Highway and North - Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), the nearby highways to the property.

At first glance, East Utama brings the promise of quite a number of high-end residential developments that have been popping up around the urban areas of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. However, further investigation has dampened that perception by some margin. Although the developer only had a hand in not more than two past projects and will develop two upcoming projects, it does look like their projects are those of high prestige. Anjung Melati looks to be nice bungalow developments while the upcoming Townvilla and Bungalow look to be really great.Maybe it is the small land area that all the units will occupy, with extra space dedicated to little greenery area. Even the sky garden looks to be peculiar instead of spectacular. Also, the sky garden at East Utama appears to be blocking the sunlight to the ground floor of the units, does that mean the ground floor living room will be relying on artificial lighting only? Maybe that is the factor behind their two living rooms idea.But the goodies that East Utama can offer are the spacious parking bays, cool rooftop area and the reach that is excellent, due to their location that is nearby to many amenities.
