Sibei sian. Today 2nd link super jam. Go in at 12.15 end up 4.30 then come out of JB CIQ. Have to cancel all appointment with agent and also cannot go setia bukit indah as well as NI and ND. Maybe it's god will to prevent me

Exactly, that is one reason people buy a 2nd home in JB as a form of insurance. Budget of 500K should be fine . Most people prefer landed as we are sick of pigeon hole in SG already. However condo might be easier for rental , you really must know what you want for yourself , there are always pros and cons.
Good points. Changes in process can make a huge difference. Combined CIQ would likely have a significant time savings for those taking busses especially. The MACS effort is a big benefit (making it easy for as many people helps everyone - the fewer people standing in lines the faster those left in the non-automated lines have to wait).

While looking at some info on CW6 buses, came across a chinese press article dated August 2011 talking about Handal Indah (operators of CW3 buses) plans.
http://www.chinapress.com.my/node/242538
For non-mandarin speaking folks, in summary they seek to acquire a piece of land near their present location at Bukit Indah to build a guarded parking area (i believe most likely multi-storey)....and takeover the operation of 3 other terminals at Sutera Utama, Gelang Patah and Tmn Uni....
in a nutshell, it will only get better from hereon...
cheers.

Merry Christmas to everyone... surfing using Maxis mobile broadband at HH now and woke up this morning to the loud CNY music playing across the street. WIfe came down and said they're inconsiderate for playing CNY music on Christmas Day and blasting it loud too... definitely inconsiderate for playing loud music, regardless of what kind of songs....

Re: causeway link bus
Not sure if you mentioned budget around RM500k. But if it is and you prefer landed, then really not much choices within Nusajaya if you wish to buy from developer.
For Nusjaya area,
East Ledang, Horizon Hills, Leisure farm is >>500k.
Even their condo is more than 500k already.
Bestari Heights - Astoria (I believe prices increased much over 500k budget already)
Maybe Medini1 condo in future may have condo within budget but that is not freehold.
Possible landed projects in Nusjaya around 500k,
Nusa Idaman
Sutera Utama have clusters (Casania) about 550k few months back.
For Tebrau area, I think there's more choices.
Setia Indah may have some new corner terraces around 500k.
Setia Eco Cascadia currently only have bigger units (more exp) but can wait for more of the smaller units to be launched next yr.
Kempas Heights within budget.
Setia Tropika only have larger and more expensive unit left
Setia Eco Gardens also do not have that kind of budget left when I inquired few months back (but their website seems to have)
Can check out Seri Austin & Bandar Dato onn.
For other popular areas,
Straits View Residences (in Permas jaya area) is out of budget.
Taman Molek 2....i dunno.
If upfront payment is the concern, SP Setia typically give good discounts and lowers your upfront to around 5% rather than 20%.
They will also let you pay installment after property completion and absorb the interests payable during construction period.

Re: causeway link bus
Aisanbo,
thanks for your feedback.
I'm still confused with the layout of so many projects.
Of course I prefer a location within new town centre. But where would be the new financial centre?
This still confused me as I don't have proper map of each projects.
I'll compile the projects and budget and post it here to share with everyone from the feedback.
thanks.

Launch the Interactive Map to get a overview of all the developments in Iskandar.
It is not most updated and the newer projects may not be inside.

Re: causeway link bus
Based on my analysis the Flagship B (Nusajaya) would be the most interesting as it comprised of:
- Kota Iskandar (residential, business, healthcare, leisure and tourism such as Legoland and retail malls)
- Puteri harbour
- Educity (NuMED, Netherland Maritime Institute of Tech, Marlborough College, etc)
- Soutern Industrial Logistic
- Afiat Health Park
- Columbia Asia Hospital
- Bio-XCell
Educity itself would have a population of 16,000 students once fully completed.
With healthcare centres being setup, biotech companies are coming, retail mall and other inustries.
This could be the future Raffles Place?
It would be interesting for those who have properties in this Flagship B.
East Ledang, Horizon Hills, Nusa Idaman, and Nusa Bayu
Ujana Executive Apartments. 1Mediini
Too bad I can only afford 1Medini if I select this flagship/zone.

Re: causeway link bus
East Ledang is the nearest residential development to the 2nd Link, together with Leisure Farm. However, only resale and bumi lots are available for sale in East Ledang; dunno about Leisure Farm.
Horizon Residence is a condo development located in Bukit Indah, in the middle of housing estates. I've not been to the sales gallery because I prefer landed and I don't see a good opportunity for rental income from high-rise in Bukit Indah area.
If I'm not mistaken, Fortune Point is a commercial development near Nusa Idaman area. As for NI, I was at the sales gallery on Saturday. There are intermediate units available in NI Precinct 8B and 7B (Courtyard 3). I went to both show houses and the Courtyard 3 houses are big, 2400sf (24x80), prices range from RM540-640k. There is only 1 corner unit in Courtyard 3, but it is a bumi lot. There are also units still available from sale from the developer in NI P8B. One thing I like about NI/HH is that the location is accessible via both Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints. In fact, it's a shorter drive from Woodlands to HH/NI because of the Coastal Highway.
If your budget is around RM500k, NI P8B and 7B are good places to start looking. All the best.
Hi sggecko, not sure if you have read thru the whole forum, but FYI The Gateway, The Golf and The Hills precincts and Fairway Suites are all located in Horizon Hills, developer is Gamuda. Newly launched precincts in HH should be The Greens.

Re: causeway link bus
a) Sutera Utama , Casania
b) Bandar Dato Onn (I remember someone bought there around this budget recently)
c) Setia Indah/Setia Eco Cascadia
Can always call first to enquire before making the visit.
I thought Casania is actually quite value for money.
I like it but bought Eco Cascadia instead for it being a new concept project, with clubhouse, landed-strata and better financial package (setia offering interest free during construction, lesser upfront, installment upon completion, etc).
Setia Indah is more value for money than Cascadia but the Setia Indah township is >10 years old and the planned design might be outdated.
I did not consider Bandar Dato Onn at that time because I'm too lazy to check it out.
