Bangsar Villa, Bangsar

Bangsar Villa is an old and low-rise condominium nestled within the posh enclave of Bangsar. It is located along Jalan Maarof and adjacent to Sri Penaga, Menara Bangsar, Bangsar Puteri and Bangsar Shopping Centre (BSC). This freehold condominium only comprises a single orange-colour 4-storey block. The units start from 500 sf. Facilities offered are the usual suspects, including sauna, gymnasium and swimming pool.

Right along Jalan Maarof, one can easily walk to Bangsar Shopping Centre to buy all the necessities or even hang out with friends. Other shopping avenues are MidValey Megamall, The Garden and Tropicana City Mall. Not only that, Bangsar Villa is also within mere minutes walking distance to Damansara Heights commercial enclave – making it possible to walk to office or class (HELP University).

Just about 5 minutes driving, one can reach Jalan Telawi enclave, a hip, surviving and still growing spot. There are a few schools nearby, namely SMK Bukit Bandaraya, SJK Bukit Bandaraya, SJK Bukit Pantai, SMK Bangsar and Sri Cempaka International School. In terms of accessibility, Jalan Maarof is very well connected to a number of expressways. These include Sprint Highway, Federal Highway, North-Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and New Pantai Expressway (NPE). Adding to that, it is about 5 minutes drive to Bangsar RapidKL LRT station.

Analysis

If you are looking for a sweet spot to live with a very high level of privacy in Bangsar, this is a place for you. However, as Bangsar Villa is directly facing the bustling Jalan Maarof, home meditation is almost impossible here, as you will have to suffer noise from the traffic every single minute.

It is very hard to find a unit in Bangsar Villa, since the number is very limited and most residents are owners themselves. The price has not appreciated much though for the past couple of years, and expect to pay for something similar to Bangsar Puteri or Menara Bangsar – which both are deemed better than this condominium.
