Analysis

One of the drawbacks of Beringin Residence is that it shares the road with lines of commercial towers. Hence, the road (which is quite narrow) is congested during peak hours. Also, having these tall neighbors also deteriorate the exclusivity and privacy. But indeed, this still remains as one of the most exclusive house to call home in Malaysia.

Indeed, the design of Beringin Residence is phenomenal and really appealing. Even though it is unique, its million dollar price tag seems to be too expensive. As the price starts from RM4.5 million, it is about similar price to basic and old bungalows in Damansara Heights.
