Analysis

Even though Puteri Bayu is built with condominium facilities, it should also comprise roofed car park, as the apartment only has open car park within the compound. There is however a parking lot area right in front the condominium, in front the entrance, which is convenient for visitors.As always, parking is an issue of a low to medium-cost apartment. Due to lacking of car park spaces, quite a number of residents with more than a car will need to park their cars outside the condominium, which can be seen at night after working hours. This causes a glitch in traffic, especially during peak hours.For all its faults Puteri Bayu is a nice place to stay as it is sited on a hill top and near to a reserve forest, affording fortunate residents a very nice view and fresh air. Residents from the other units will nevertheless find that they have a good aerial view of the surrounding area due to their location on a hill.
