Parkfield Residences, Tropicana Heights, Kajang

The former site of the Kajang Hill Golf and Country Club takes on a new lease of life. Known as one of remaining golf parcels in Kajang, the land is currently being transformed into Tropicana Heights. The beauty behind this evolving development is that although the properties will be new, the site comes with it matured greenery that’s as old as the golf club. This means that Tropicana Heights takes on the existing ecosystem. Species that you may find here include the Raintree, Pulai, Khaya, Yellow Flame, and Tembusu, of which some have been relocated and replanted.

The focal point of the entire development is a 16-acre park. This so-called Central Park is sub-divided into several zones. There’s Chill Zone, with a look-out pavilion, lily pond & willow garden, viewing bridge, cascading waterfall, amphitheatre lawn, and fountain. There’s also West Lake Active Zone, featuring a fitness trail, sports lawn, basketball court, fountain, floating gazebos, children’s playground, sloped lawn, burbling brook, an open field, and Market Square. Then there’s Central Zone, with trellis, fountain, community hall, and Recreational Hub. Next is East Lake Promenade Zone, which offers park lane bays, boardwalk, 288-metre promenade, viewing bridge, cascading waterfall, fountain, floating gazebos, and wooded trail. Finally is the concrete-paved jogging track, dotted with resting benches along its path, as well as bicycle stations.

The 2-storey terraces, on the other hand, is categorised into intermediate, corner, end, and special units. Internally, these homes exhibit an open-plan layout. This means that open-floor layouts usually make homes feel larger than its actual square footage. In open-plan layouts, doors and walls are usually taken out to create extra space in homes.

Each intermediate home comes with a standard built-up of 2,203 square feet. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Three bedrooms are located on the first floor while the fourth one is located at the back of the ground floor. There are 2 bathrooms upstairs and another one downstairs.

Although each corner home also has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, it is offered in a slightly larger built-up of 2,498 square feet. According to the brochure, “the land configuration dimensions, backyard staircase and area vary from unit to unit.”

The fencing for these 2-storey terraces is made from a combination of mansory brick wall and mild steel grille. Part of this fencing also include a gate at the back of each house. As usual, each home comes with it an alarm system and 3-phase wiring.
