Who should consider the bungalow?

Besides having excellent value(less than RM 300k for land area of 6k++ sf), the bungalow has potential for further appreciation in value. The main reason is Putrajaya/Cyberjava. The expansion of these areas will push up prices of surrounding areas, e.g. Nilai, Seremban, Senawang

Who should consider the bungalow?

  • Retirees and semi-retirees. Since most retirees have fixed income, value for money is very important. The bungalow has excellent potential for appreciation in value due to development in Putrajaya/Cyberjava. Owner of the bungalow is being compensated for holding the bungalow.

  • Technopreneurs. If the technopreneur is not required to meet clients regularly, then Senawang is a bargain due to lower cost of living. In addition, there is more than one Internet provider in Senawang : TM Net(Streamyx) and Digi(Mobile Broadband)
