Analysis

Gugusan Teratai is located in a very high density area, with many apartments of the like around it, which causes heavy traffic congestion during peak hours. Parking is also a problem after work hours when the residents come home, when many cars can be seen to be parked alongside the road as there are insufficient parking lots within the development.

Although it is located in a low to medium cost area, Gugusan Teratai is somehow also not very far from their classier neighbours within Kota Damansara. However the shine does not spill over and Gugusan Teratai is not exactly popular for its exclusivity, and the residents here are mostly of the low to medium income group.

Gugusan Teratai as such does not hold much investment value at the moment despite its quite good location, especially due to its leasehold title. It does however make a good permanent residence for those who are looking for a low cost home in a reasonably good location.
