These routes cut the travelling time to areas like Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, Puchong and Subang. It also takes just about 30 minutes to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

Analysis

Purchasers have compared Sencillia to Starling end lot @ Bandar Rimbayu by IJM Land, which is located adjacent to Kota Kemuning. The launch price for Starling starts from RM698,800 and scheduled for completion beginning July 2022. In terms of value comparison, it really depends on each person’s preference and perspective.

Some have highlighted that Sencillia has a rather high monthly management fee of approximately RM440 as it is based on land area instead of built-up. This could prove to be worthwhile in the long run where the landscape and facilities are maintained through the years.
