Location & Connectivity
5 min drive to Mutiara Damansara MRT, IKEA, The Curve and IPC.
Highway links: Sprint, Penchala Link and LDP place PJ, Mont Kiara and KL city within 15 – 20 minutes (traffic gods willing).
Future potential: The forthcoming Empire City pedestrian bridge should funnel retail traffic straight into Central Park, adding a lifestyle pull factor.
Watch-outs: Peak-hour congestion into Damansara Perdana is well-known; highway-facing stacks also battle higher dust and noise.
Facilities & Lifestyle
EXSIM doubled down on greenery—think jogging trail, “serenity walk”, and a community edible garden—while packing in family staples such as a kids’ play lawn, wading pool and multipurpose hall. Density (≈15 units per floor) is higher than older PJ condos, so lifts and parking ramps may feel busy at full occupancy.
Price Performance & Rental Yields
Metric | D’Quince 2025 | Mature PJ Condo Avg.* |
---|
Subsale (psf) | RM 570 avg | RM 650 – 750 |
Rent / 900 sq ft | ≈RM 2,200 | RM 2,000 – 2,300 |
Gross yield | 4.8 – 5.4 % | 3.8 – 4.5 % |
*Freehold, 10 – 15 yr-old condos in Kota Damansara / Ara Damansara.
Early buyers who entered below RM 600 psf are still sitting close to cost, limiting speculative flips but giving landlords a healthy spread over mortgage rates (now ~3.6 %). Future appreciation may be capped by ongoing launches (D’Vervain, D’Cosmos) within the same township.
What Residents & Forums Are Saying
👍 Positives (≈50 %) – “Affordable PJ address”, “fresh, hotel-like lobbies”, “easy drive to IKEA & 1 Utama”.
😐 Neutrals (≈30 %) – “Waiting for the Central Park mall to open”, “density expected for price point”.
👎 Negatives (≈20 %) – “Highway noise on Tower A”, “traffic crawl at Penchala exit”, “possible mosque construction next lot”.
“Ideal first home for young couples—lower entry price, facilities feel premium.” – PropertyGuru comment
“Dust levels are high on the LDP-facing side; keep windows shut.” – Lowyat forum user
Analyst Verdict
Own-Stay – Mixed. If you crave a brand-new unit with a full resort deck and can live with bustling common areas and traffic grind, D’Quince checks the boxes. Young professionals and small families will like the lifestyle convenience; noise-sensitive residents may not.
Investment – Good. At sub-RM 600 psf, D’Quince commands one of PJ’s better entry prices for a fresh hand-over, while 5 % gross yields beat many freehold neighbours. Long-term upside hinges on Central Park’s retail activation and EXSIM’s ability to manage oversupply within its D-Series cluster.
Bottom line: A value-tilted PJ address offering ~5 % yield today—best for buyers who prioritise amenities and price over low-density living.
