What about Fairway Suites @ Horizon Hills.
Nowadays, lowest floor unit >400/sqft (Skyloft, Seed, Fairway, Impiana)
I managed to grab the high floor(>18 floor) at <350/sqft for Horizon R & Ujana.
Somehow, the younger generation(working in SG) prefer to stay in high rise, compared to landed.
It is a matter of time it will hit >500/sqft.. Cheers.
Hi all,
I will be going down to take pictures of the house this weekend. If anyone's interested in viewing it at the same time, do let me know.
Tks.
Hmm looks like the road signs don't include Kota iskandar and HH as part of Nusajaya although they are. From HH clubhouse, can see Marborough college building-in-progress at a distance.

I don't know about bats in LF but squirrels and monkeys are spotted regularly at LF ...it's like living in Botanical Gardens 
And the trees are mature and green. The setting is very natural .
Personally I like the place a lot but a family member finds it too quiet ... and a hassle to travel around Gelang Patah town and the PTP road for home and out. :(

Can you share the contact Infor and your after move assessment of the movers? It would be appreciated by all here.....!
Copied the below from another forum. This blogger blogs about Kuala Lumpur but has started his first blog about Iskandar as he sees that it's getting quite active.
"First paid advertorial and the project comes from Iskandar Malaysia
>>> http://www.patchay.com/2011/09/setia-eco-cascadia.html
The Iskandar market is getting quite active, and thus with the above blogpost marks my venture into Iskandar project postings.
If everything goes well, Iskandar is expected to be Malaysia's largest recipient of Foreign Direct and Domestic Private Investments this year."

Not exactly true. If I'm not wrong, Seeds is going at mid $3xx psf.
Personally, I dun think people prefer condo becos of it's high-rise but more due to facilities, security and cheaper.
If a bigger size landed terrace with clubhouse and security is at same price point as the condo, I would go for the landed.
Yeah...I noticed the traffic might be problematic there. But in longer term perhaps the roads would be upgraded...dunno.
Besides townhouse, they do have the normal condo apartments.
it is like that at the beginning lah...the posts should come instantly soon ... be patient
Do u mean kempas utama?
The price is real reasonable for that size and the garden.
Think it is near Setia Tropika ... so can pop by their shophouses and Tropika Connect
me will be moving in this dec. so how is it now that you move back to JB? do you miss living in sin? do you have kids? i'm a bit concern that my kids will complain about the commuting between sin and jb to school daily from next term.
Hi! Just to share with you some of my experience. I have 2 primary school kid. One is p3, the other is p6. Moving to JB has been an eye opening experience for them. People have warned me about almost anything under the sky from travelling time, to tuition avenue, to travelling stress, etc, etc, etc...
The thing is always be prepared. Have a schedule for everything. Put them to bed early so that they wake up early. Prepare things like uniforms, water bottle, clothings after school, etc... in advance. Think of a place for them to do homework. A place for tuition. A few nice place for food. The rest, just work it out as it goes. Don't think too much. They will be ok. I can do it. So can you!

More Iskandar Malaysia hotels, service apartments in 3 years

Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman (left) and Tan Sri Ta Kin Yan looking at a model of the Hotel Palazzo.THE hospitality industry in Iskandar Malaysia will see big investments from both domestic and foreign players to build hotels and serviced apartments within the next three years.
At least four hotels and service apartments are expected to provide over 3,000 rooms.
They include the 900-room KSL Resort in Taman Century; the 198-room Granada Hotel in Bukit Indah; the 300-room Renaissance Hotel in Permas Jaya; the 292-room Traders Hotel in Nusajaya; and the 293-room Palazzo Hotel and Serviced Suites at the Danga Bay.
Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman said, initially, Iskandar Malaysia may not have sufficient rooms to cope with the influx of tourists coming to Kulaijaya Premier Outlet, which is opening in November, and Legoland in Nusajaya which is expected to open in the third quarter of next year.
He said things will change by 2014 when Iskandar Malaysia will have more hotels and serviced apartments.
"By then, we will have enough hotel rooms for visitors, as well as serviced apartments for professionals and expatriates who are likely to relocate to Johor for jobs," he said after the ground-breaking ceremony of the Palazzo Hotel at Danga Bay recently.
Ghani said Dijaya Corporation had announced plans to develop luxury serviced apartments while the Danga Bay Group itself is planning to build no less than two major hotels at the marina area in Danga Bay.
Moving over to the east coast, he said Khazanah Nasional Bhd is working on a multi-billion ringgit development plan to transform Desaru into an integrated and premier lifestyle destination.
"In the pipeline is the building of two international-class hotels and a golf course. There will be a theme park with tropical, eco-adventure and water features, and a convention centre.
"The opening of the Senai-Desaru Expressway recently has improved accessibility to the east coast significantly. We expect more investments to come into the Desaru hospitality industry," he said.

Looks like the west side has more or less taken shape. Next change is the east side liao. Then the north.
Crystal, what does it mean ?. are we not allowed to purchase overseas properties ?. just curious, because I never think about it when I made the purchase.
No idea how they check but i don't believe they can check! Just look at how many fake degree holders they let in and you can judge for yourself. They can't even check properly to know these overseas qualification people declared are fake, how to trust them to check properly overseas property ownership that people don't even declare?
When PRC/Indians say they don't own property in China/India, how are they going to comb the data of these countries' numerous states/cities/towns/provinces/villages etc to confirm? Don't say China/India, i don't think they can even comb Malaysia!
The conclusion is this policy - like the previous single PR can own HDB flat policy - is again biased and favouring foreigners who have it easy to own multiple properties at their home country and HDB at the same time, while Singaporean will not be able to own private property and HDB at the same time in our own country.

Hi! Just to share with you some of my experience. I have 2 primary school kid. One is p3, the other is p6. Moving to JB has been an eye opening experience for them. People have warned me about almost anything under the sky from travelling time, to tuition avenue, to travelling stress, etc, etc, etc...
The thing is always be prepared. Have a schedule for everything. Put them to bed early so that they wake up early. Prepare things like uniforms, water bottle, clothings after school, etc... in advance. Think of a place for them to do homework. A place for tuition. A few nice place for food. The rest, just work it out as it goes. Don't think too much. They will be ok. I can do it. So can you!
Hi, thanks for sharing. Good to hear that all of you are coping well. I have a few questions, hope you don't mind.
1. What time do you reach JB CIQ and what time do you reach Sin side?
2. What time do you leave Sin for JB, any jam? Do you know what time the traffic will start to pile up? My observation is it starts from 5 or 5.30pm. Do you have the Ktm train schedule cos some days my eldest will finish school at 7pm. I thought of asking him to take a train across the causeway and I meet him at City Square.
3. Where do your kids attend tuition, JB or Sin?
Hope it's not too personal. Thanks.
I am impressed.. But the kid will get used to it sooner or later..
