There seems to be quite a lot of banks and shops there, except for the lack of a shopping mall. I'm thinking future MRT (>10 years?) and developments could have a positive impact on Taman Molek as it has landed properties near the causeway. Not sure whether to go ahead to book a unit although price has increased. Please let me know of any bad points. Thanks.
Hi there, I think it depends on what type of housing you are considering and the price as well. Having hung out at Taman Molek on weekends for 6 years now, these are my biased observations that you should take with a pinch of salt:-
Pros:
1. Near to 1st link (10-15 mins drive from JB chk pt),
2. Convenience to groceries (Carrefour, Jusco Tebrau, Giant Plentong within 3-8 mins drive) and wet market (Molek & Johor Jaya)
3. Better road linkages, and thus less jammed compared to areas like Mt Austin & Sutera Utama
Cons:
1. Prices tend to be on high side, though still lower than Horizon Hills, East Ledang etc
2. Lesser upside for development potential (mature estate) compared to Nusajaya (non-mature estate) (think toa payoh town vs Potong Pasir)
3. Far from 2nd link, hence less options when travelling to/from SG compared to say Bukit Indah/Horizon Hills.
