About Begonia @ The Park Residences

Begonia @ The Park Residences is a condominium development in Kuala Lumpur. In Malaysia, condominiums are usually strata-titled residential projects with shared common areas run by a management body. This suits buyers and tenants who prefer apartment living over a landed home. As with any condominium, layout, condition and furnishing can differ from one unit to the next, depending on how each owner has kept or renovated it. If you can, view more than one unit. You may be looking for a home to live in or a unit to rent out. Either way, comparing several listings within the development will show you what is on offer at the time and help you judge whether an asking price or rent is reasonable.

Location and neighbourhood

The development is in Kampung Kerinchi, the area now widely known as Bangsar South, on the west side of Kuala Lumpur. Bangsar South is a newer mixed-use area with office towers, residential projects and commercial space, built on land that was once an older village neighbourhood. It tends to appeal to people who work in or around the area and want to live close to the office. It also suits those who like a more modern, planned setting within reach of the city. Begonia @ The Park Residences is one of 22 developments listed in the same area, so you have a fair range of choice if you want to compare it with other projects nearby.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure of the land, current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and which facilities residents can use. View the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check natural light, noise and the condition of fittings. Buyers should check the title, confirm whether strata titles have been issued, and make sure there are no outstanding charges on the unit. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully. Look at the deposit terms, who pays for repairs, and any house rules set by management. It also helps to visit the area at peak hours to get a feel for traffic and parking.
