Analysis
Ara Damansara’s target market comprises the upper-middle-class segment. The township is surrounded by retail centres, shops, dining options, medical centres, and neighbouring golf and country clubs. Another factor working in the area’s favour is its good connectivity, with no fewer than four major routes into Kuala Lumpur. These include the North-South Expressway (leading into the Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE)), the Sprint Expressway, the Federal Highway and New Pantai Expressway (NPE). The Ara Damansara township is also served by 2 LRT stations in the Kelana Jaya Line Extension, namely Ara Damansara and Lembah Subang.
Ara Damansara features a range of residential products, including bungalows, double-storey linked, semi-detached homes, apartments, and condominiums. The township has a concentration of high-rise and commercial developments as you enter through Jalan Lapangan Terbang Subang. But as you move towards the Tropicana Golf & Country Resort, you will be greeted with more open spaces and greenery, where the landed properties are.
Verde @ Ara Damansara has proven to be popular among working professionals and younger families.
