This development comes with 38 types of facilities. Apart from the three-tier security, there’s an indoor and outdoor gym as well as courts for futsal, badminton and basketball. For all the water-lovers out there, you’ll love the bubbly Jacuzzi, aqua gym, wading pool and an Olympic-size swimming pool found in this project.

Besides an herb garden and communal garden for plant lovers, kids will surely love living in this development thanks to its tree house, children’s playground and adventure playground. There’s also a mini market where you can buy daily necessities, and a childcare centre where you can leave your kids when you’re off to work.

Although the SoHo units are unfurnished, they are highly attractive as the development is just a 500-metre walk to a KTM station, and is a mere one stop away from an MRT station. It is also 300 metres from a highly-anticipated megamall project.

Location

Situated along Jalan Kajang Villa 3 at Kajang 2 in Selangor, Canopy Hills is close to other residential projects like Nadayu 92, Alam Sari, Tropicana Heights and Taman Kajang Utama.

The subject development is well-connected to major highways like Jalan Reko, Jalan Persiaran Bangi, SILK, Cheras-Kajang Highway, Kajang-Seremban Hіghwау, North-South Hіghwау, and Sоuth Klаng Vаllеу Exрrеѕѕwау. As such, the project is just 7km to Bandar Baru Bangi commercial centre, while Kajang town is farther at 9km.

Canopy Hills, Kajang, Selangor Location Map

Apart from being located just beside the future megamall in Kajang 2, Canopy Hills is a short drive to Econsave Bangi and Reko Sentral, where one can find various shops. In terms of public transport, the freehold development is a short walk away from the Kajang 2 KTM Station, and is just one stop from the Kajang MRT Station.

Parents also don’t have to travel far to find a good school for their children as there are many learning institutions within close proximity. These include National University of Malaysia (UKM), Rafflesia International School, SMK Jalan Reko, SK Kajang Utama, SMK Kajang Utama, SJK (C) Kajang 2, and SJK (C) Yu Hua 2.

Pros

 The best thing about this project is its super low price tag. In fact, the units are considered as affordable housing (as defined by the federal government) as they cost no more than RM300,000. It is also more affordable than other freehold developments in the vicinity, namely Putra Platinum and Ivory Residence, where the minimum prices are equivalent to two units in Canopy Hills already. Another advantageous thing is that Canopy Hills is just a short stroll to a KTM station and is next to a future megamall development, while the new Kajang 2 township is close by as well.

Cons

The biggest downside about the project is its high density of 1,589 units, which is significantly greater than Putra Platinum’s 166 units and the 455 homes in Ivory Residence. Another potential issue is the commercial title of the land, which will result in higher monthly utility bills. The compact size of the units, which only have 2 bedrooms, means the units are only suitable for singles and small families. Moreover, Canopy Hills is the maiden project of Hong Kong-based Land Pacific in Malaysia. Hence, the company doesn’t have a track record yet.

Summary

Canopy Hills, Kajang, Selangor Jungle Trail

We believe a home in Canopy Hills is excellent for one’s own occupation and investment thanks to the fabulously low price and the project’s proximity to an upcoming megamall. It is also near a KTM station and is just one stop to an MRT station. However, we are unsure about the project’s quality as this is the developer’s first project in the country.

Assuming you took out a RM184,000 loan (80% LTV) with an interest rate of 4.6% that is payable in 30 years to buy a RM230,000 unit in Canopy Hills, your monthly debt instalment works out to about RM943 per month. According to the rule of thumb, no more than 30% of your monthly income should go to housing expenses. In this case, buyers of Canopy Hills should have a monthly salary of at least RM3,143 to purchase a home at Canopy Hills.
