Analysis
Araville is a residential development by Golden Klang Valley, which is an associate company of SP Setia. The company also developed the Right Angle commercial shop offices and Menara Bakti with adjoining 4-storey shop houses in Section 14, Petaling Jaya.

Residents of Jalan Kapas and Jalan Medang Tanduk used to have concerns regarding landslides such as those that happened in Ampang and Damansara Heights due to the development of D’9 Bangsar that they were afraid would damage the water tanks. However the developers were very conscientious and took precautionary measures to avoid damaging the water tanks, and the development was fully completed with no mishaps whatsoever.

As a matter of fact, their new neighbour has heightened the feeling of exclusivity to the area, as the new development is a very exclusive condominium development, comprising only nine units, a unit per floor. D’9 Bangsar was completed in mid-2010.
However, one has to bear bad traffic congestion during peak hours in this area. Jalan Maarof is quite congested during these hours. The ongoing construction of MRT, that is set to complete by end of 2016, does not help the matter. It slows down traffic and automotive have to be driven carefully. Alternatively, one should opt for Jalan Medang Tanduk that connects to SPRINT highway for a convenient ingress and egress. This is a good solution.

Even though it is old, Araville is still one of the most wanted residential in Bangsar, and remains as one of the expatriate choice to call home. Besides Araville, other residential preferred homes are Casa Vista and Sri Penaga.
