Hi all! Long time lurker, first time posting. My husband and I are looking for our forever home, a house we could potentially stay for the next 25 years or so. The plan is to look for as sub sale unit within a central location, renovate the house and move by 2027/2028. Just in time for our child to enter Primary School. So we’d like to know your views and thoughts.

Background: I used to stay in USJ 3 during my childhood & schooling years, then family moved out to Aman Perdana (somewhere near Meru & Bandar Bukit Raja) in 2012. My husband works offshore, so he’s only home about 4 months in a year. We have a one child who is turning 2 and we’re still staying at my family home in Aman Perdana, kind of like a generational home.

Current situation: Work at KLCC and drive to work. Pre-pandemic, I would take the LRT but post covid, it was just more convenient to drive. (Leave house at 6am, come home at 8pm)

Having lived close to the Setia Alam township, we love the surrounding such as wider roads in housing areas, decent commercial area. Would love to have a home with similar vibes but we’re aware of the limitations of our budget.

Budget: RM 900,000 – RM 1.2 million

What we’d like in the area:

- Reasonable distance to Private Schools with National Syllabus (e.g.: Asia Pacific School, Sekolah Sri Tenby, etc)
- Plus point: Close to institution that offer Pre University & Tertiary Education (e.g. Sunway University, Monash, Taylor’s Lakeside)
- G&G would be ideal but can make do with F&G
- Within 45 – 60 minutes drive to KLCC in traffic (I know, this is a big ask hahaha). If there’s a way for me to cut my current commute home from 90 minutes to even 60 minutes would be great.
- Freehold & Individual Title
- Within Selangor. Not a fan of KL.

What we’d like in a house:
- Double storey terrace house with end lot (if possible with the budget). Intermediate is fine if the layout or outlook of the house is nice.
- Minimum 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. Ideally 4 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms, but I understand with the budget it can be a stretch.
- Sufficient porch space for 2 cars

Based on what we’ve read through previous post on this forum on similar topic, we’ve identified the following area:

1. Laman Glenmarie
2. Putra Heights - Laman Putra?
3. Bukit Jelutong - not sure which area is preferred
4. USJ: USJ 5 & USJ 11
5. Tanamera
6. Mutiara Homes - this may be a stretch.

We'll drive around the location when husband is back from offshore.

Wondering if there are other areas we should consider? Not all too familiar with PJ/ Damansara if they have any G&G or F&G within the budget. Would also love to get some feedback from current residences.

Thank you!
