The Place Where Homeowners Own a Park

OnePark is the latest addition to the maturing neighbourhood of Taman Semenyih Idaman. It is an exclusive project that comes with a limited number of modern looking homes and a central recreational area called “Greenarium”. Every unit in the development is specially designed to be a stress free home and they will be surrounded by a rear jogging track and several uniquely themed garden parks. They will also be featuring 6 tiers of security systems, which include surveillance cameras, patrol guards and a fully gated and guarded compound.

Developer

The developer for this exclusive project is iWajib Property Sdn Bhd- a relatively young and niche player in the industry. They were founded in 2008 and possess only two residential projects under their belt so far, which are the Taman Cheras Idaman 2 Phase 1 and Phase 2 in Sungai Long. Although they do not possess a large portfolio of properties with them, they have shown that they are capable of delivering high quality and well-designed homes for the buyers. They are also looking to launch more niche projects around the Klang Valley area in the future, so, that should be something interesting to watch out for.

The development site of OnePark

One Park is a very exclusive project that features only 250 units of double storey terrace houses in 20 acres of freeehold development. It is one of the lowest density projects in the area and is currency offering 3 types of unit which are the Baywood, Melwood and Winwood.

The key difference between the trios is the layout. For Baywood and Winwood, they both present a more traditional home design with the living hall situated near the front entrance and the kitchen at the back. But for Melwood, it is offering the more modern approach by having the position of its kitchen and living hall swapped. All three of them are come roughly equal in size and they comprised of a minimum built up area of 2,100 sq. ft.

The stunning Greenarium central park in OnePark

In terms of unique offerings, the project will be including several beautifully landscaped parks such as the Calathium, Heliconium, Fernarium, Herbarium, Fruity and a linear park. There is also integrated 2.3km jogging track connecting those parks to the rear end of the houses provided. This is quite an interesting feature as it allows the residents to spectate and greet their neighbours while they jog around the area via its dual frontage designs. Overall, don’t expect a huge variety of facilities and amenities available in the development, but they do come at a rather affordable maintenance fee of just RM150 per month.

The project is situated along Jalan Desa Mewah, which sits right beside the Bandar Sunway Semenyih and Kajang Perdana townships. It is surrounded by many mature landed properties such as double storey terrace houses, semi-Ds and luxurious bungalows, and several new developments such as the Kiara Business Centre and a premium serviced apartment that is rumoured to be developed by the Malton Group.

The newly launched Kiara Business Centre in Semenyih

The main attraction of the place is its quiet and tranquil environment. Natural green landscapes and partly preserved palm tree estates paint the entire area green, and those who are looking to recluse from the hustle and bustle of the city centre will be pleased to be here. There are several thoughtfully designed townships located within the vicinity as well such as Eco Majestic, Setia EcoHill and Kajang Perdana. So, if one would like to describe the area, it should be known as a haven of beautiful landed homes with a safe and peaceful neighbourhood.

A bustling retail hub at Kajang Perdana Township

Of course, no single township will ever be perfect and the problem with this place is the lack of good shopping malls and entertainment outlets. The roads along the site comprised of just a single lane as well and that may hinder the residents’ movement in the future. Thankfully, the traffic around the area is very smooth and there are many dining and shopping options available in the neighbouring townships like Kajang Perdana, Bandar Saujana Impian and the Semenyih Town. The township itself is experiencing rapid growth as well and there will be more commercial developments to come in the future.

Getting Around The Location

The roads around Jalan Sunway Semenyih / Jalan Desa Mewah

Travelling to OnePark with a motor vehicle is relatively easy as it is connected to several major highways such as the North-South Expressway (PLUS) and Cheras- Kajang (Grand Saga) Highway. Additionally, the SILK Highway and Kajang bypass can also be used to get to the site, with the former being the shorter route for those who are coming from Bangsar or Kuala Lumpur direction while the latter for those who are coming from Puchong or Southern Petaling Jaya area.

That being said, it will not be easy to travel to this area without having access to your own personal transportation as the only railway stations available in the vicinity are located a distance away at the Kajang or Bangi town. There are not many intercity bus stops that are available in the town either; so, your best bet to reach this place would be to drive here personally.

Name	Land Title	Price per Sq.Ft.	Maintenance Fee	Car Park Bays
One Park (iWajib)	Freehold Residential	RM350	RM150	Car porch
Eco Majestic (Eco World)	Freehold Residential	RM350-RM400	RM0.10/ psf	Car porch
Setia EcoHill (SP Setia)	Freehold Residential	RM350-RM400	RM220- RM350	Car porch

When it comes to pricing, One Park is right at the top with Eco Majestic and Setia Ecohill. The three share a similar trait, in which they are all premium class residences that are located in a private G&G community. However, the project differs slightly as it opts for a more affordable maintenance fee at the expense of a central clubhouse and other unnecessary facilities and amenities. All of its units are also fully fitted with premium furnishings such as laminated timber floorings, timber flush door, shower screen and home alarm system.

Onepark’s dual frontage design with a rear balcony

One Park is a very niche and interesting project that is well worth considering. It is one of those developments that are situated in a relatively reclusive but strategic neighbourhood, which is not too far away from the city centre and not too near to it either. The town itself is a very pleasant place to live in and there are many new and upcoming developments appearing in the vicinity. So, those who are looking for a more remote and peaceful place to stay will certainly take a liking for this project.
