Analysis
Tower A faces the highway, while Tower B faces another development. So, dust and noise pollution could irk some potential buyers. An online forum also pointed out that there’s a mosque and temple close to D’Quince Residences. However, some mentioned that it’s not much of a concern living close to worship places. It all boils down to each individual’s tolerance level.
The development is relatively close to Flora Damansara, another high density development. Flora Damansara has had its share of bad press over the years. However, due to the pricing of D’Quince Residences, some think that it’s ideal for those looking for their first home, or for investment.
Here’s a quick look at residential properties in or close to Damansara Perdana.
