Analysis

Bangsar Puteri is a favorite condominium, as it is located within walking distance to Bangsar Shopping Centre. It is well located along Jalan Medang Tanduk, and has close proximity to SPRINT highway access as well. Most claimed that the environment here is peaceful and relaxing. Depending on the unit, you will have to suffer noise pollution from the cars passing by along the SPRINT highway if the unit facing the highway. But for others which are not, you will find peaceful and quiet living. This is the reason why most units posted in advertisements are those that face the highway, and transacted way below the price of the inside units.

Even though Bangsar Puteri is pretty well maintained, but it cannot hide its age. It looks run down at the moment and need refurbishment. This is one of the main reasons that potential tenants close an eye on Bangsar Puteri and choose others instead. Being in Bangsar, one has to suffer bad traffic congestion all over Bangsar. The traffic is worst during peak hours. If you utilize SPRINT Highway, you will find it more convenient to head home. But during peak hours, around 6 pm, you might also trap in the congestion along SPRINT Highway.

Bangsar Puteri is a worthy investment to be considered. Due to the current economic meltdown, price will continue to drop due to the high rate of expatriates leaving the country as well as oversupply from new developments in the vicinity. There are plenty of units available in the market right now.
