Analysis

Vista Kiara is a good place to live if one works in Bukit Damansara, Sri Hartamas, Bangsar and Petaling Jaya areas. One can even view breathtaking greenery hills or KLCC from the balcony and windows. It has one of the largest compound area for residents to walkabout and jog as compared to the newer condo which are more densed and compact. Besides, Vista Kiara also offers much privacy as each level only houses 4 units.

As Vista Kiara is located right in-front of Garden International School, which is convenient for families to send their kids to school, it also suffers traffic jam before and after the school period. Thus, it may take several minutes for residents to get pass of the area during school times. There is a private access gate at the back of Vista Kiara which is only accessible by residents using the condo access card to Plaza Mont Kiara. Aside from that, the upcoming Mont Kiara One may also boost the marketability of Vista Kiara as residents can just take a 10 minutes walk via the back gate once MK1 is up and running.
