Jesselton Hills

Something from Penang.

And again, with price undisclosed, there's nothing I can do for the review.

Anyway, it's quite nice, provided IF the price is nice as well. Some artist impressions to glue your eyes on:

Let's see what the developer has to offer:

With a built-up area of 2,478sq ft, Type A features five bedrooms and one utility room, a spacious master bedroom with walk-in closet and generous sized bathroom, a fully sheltered balcony and wet and dry kitchens. Type B comes with a 32 ft wide built up, six bedrooms, an utility room and a relaxing courtyard garden adjacent to the living hall.

Probably sufficient to fit a whole big household within. And one more other design:

The 2 1/2-storey Type C offers 2,960sq ft of living haven, double frontage for more parking space, two living rooms on the ground and lower ground floor, and five bedrooms with one utility. The lower ground living area, which also has a private guest room, can be used for entertaining and function while the split level design will enhance the privacy to each area.

Don't seem to be cheap though. Hard to get nice bargains nowadays. Whoever interested, here goes the developer's details. Argh, should have got myself some commissions for these free ads.

Moonlight Bay

I know I know. I've been condemning Penang's condominiums for all these while. And yet now? I'm giving an exact preview post of it. It's like using my left hand to raise my right hand and slap right into my own face. 

Hey, but there's always a exception for everything in this world, right?

In fact, this is for big property players. But there's no harm to take a look at it, correct?

See? I always have an excuse of making everything seems logic. 

Let's take a look at how the developer describes it:

"Moonlight Bay is a gated residential development that has been recently completed with its OC obtained. Built to an architectural design inspired by the charm of southern European towns, houses are located on several terrace levels to allow each and every resident breathtaking views of the sea."

"Sprawled over a vast area of land measuring approximately 14 acres, the Moonlight Bay project comprises only 70 units of four-storey villas and 20 condominium units is equipped with state of the art security for your peace of mind."

"The four-storey villas, each with its own private lifts, have land areas ranging from 2,350sq ft to 6,550sq ft, with built up areas from 3,800sq ft to 5,500sq ft. In order to fulfill the needs of buyers for smaller units, Ivory created two blocks of 20 condominiums named the Condovilla. It is specially designed for those who prefer a luxurious, yet cozy home while being part of the elite community of Moonlight Bay."

"Condovilla" somemore!

Erm, let's not talk about the amount of money needed for this, my heart tends to ache listening to that. Whoever interested, there you go:

Guess I just have to work a lil' bit more harder to be able to raise up the courage (or money) to dial that number.

Water Park... Condo?

It must be some genius to even think of that.

Transforming condominium blocks' conventional pool facilities to a themed water park, well, not exactly as big as a standard water park, by adding in some fun spirals and playsets, and WHAM! It's a "Pinang Laguna Water Park Condo"! A combination of residence and fun.

Not on the island, not exactly on the busy districts in Seberang Jaya, but anyway, it's always a balance between location and price. Priced at a minimum of RM240K for a 935sq.ft. to a maximum of RM470K for some probably crazy aerial views, it's of adequate value.

Promoting the location with nearby attractions such as Pacific Megamal, Carrefour, Sunway Carnival, Aeon Jusco and Tesco XTRA, which aren't exactly THAT near, at least it's still conveniently reach-able. Well, at least all basic facilities are available within short driving distances.

Anyway, everyone define "short" differently.

Worth buying? For a condominium, with that kind of prices offered, it's definitely worth some serious consideration. However, at the moment, with the abundance of undeveloped land in Penang, landed properties are still more preferable.

PropertyFella's Verdict: 

A good selection if you are to experience a different style of residence. Not a bad choice for investment, not having much of any rental market, but with a general uptrend in Penang property prices this year, highly possible for future price increase, provided the main attraction - "Water Park" is properly maintained.

Anyway, I've finish your homework for you. Just click here for the brochure. And you're welcomed!
