Analysis

With gross development value of approximately RM160 million, Symphony Heights is reported to be selling very well. Those who are first home-buyers, young families, and investors may want to consider Symphony Heights due to its affordable price yet is high in comfort and functionality. There are also several practical layouts suitable for families of all ages and cultures. Some units face the green hill behind the development while others have the KLCC view. They will certainly appreciate their purchase when watching the fireworks on New Year’s Eve and Independence Day.While on most days the location of Symphony Heights is desirable, on two national holidays, it is highly advised that the residents either stay lockdown inside their homes or plan their vacation away from the area. The condominium is situated close to Batu Caves, hence, on Thaipusam and Deepavali, the traffic would be extremely bad. It is not exaggerated as it is known that some of the routes in the area usually would be closed for three days.Built upon a limited 2.97 acre of land with 1,709 units, the condominium is certainly considered a high-density development. It is also located next to the busy MRR2 highway and Jalan Ipoh, thus, noise pollution is to be expected at all hours. The condominium is registered as commercial title, hence, the utility bills would be 20% - 30% higher than residential. Possible buyers might want consider these disadvantages before buying.
