What sets it apart
Allevia has two square towers with just four units per floor, served by four lifts, and a level, step-free route from the drop-off to the front door. The 1,971 sq ft Type C1 has only three bedrooms plus a utility room, so the space goes to the shared rooms: a column-free living and dining area of about 7 by 8 metres under a 3-metre ceiling, a separate wet kitchen beside the pantry, and a large helper's room.
Units were changing hands at around RM1,000 psf, about RM1.9 million to RM2 million.
Where it is
It is on Jalan Mont Kiara 4, for now a dead end used only by residents of a few blocks, with a side gate to Jalan Mont Kiara 3. Mont Kiara International School, Garden International School and the 163 and Arcoris shops and offices are within walking distance.
Rent and returns
This fully furnished unit rents for RM11,000 a month, and a one-bedroom at 163 for about RM6,000. The demand comes from expatriates on three- to five-year postings, who would rather rent somewhere comfortable than buy. At about RM2 million, Sean puts the instalment at RM8,000 to RM10,000, so the rent covers it.
An investor's tip from the unit: the owner left the smallest bedroom empty, so a tenant can make it a study, nursery or hobby room without furniture having to be moved out.
An arrival worth the name
From the slate-walled drop-off through the lobby to the lounge by the mail room, natural materials, landscape and perforated screens work together, and Sean was won over at the entrance. Mature frangipani trees and angled forms carry the same care through the grounds.
3 on 3
The three things Sean likes and the three he doesn't, from his own list at the end of the episode.
- 1Mont Kiara itself: mature amenities, walkable without a car, and more international schools than anywhere else, which keeps expatriate demand and rents high. This unit fetches RM11,000; a one-bedroom at 163 about RM6,000.
- 2The design: towers spaced apart and angled for views, speed ramps in the car park, fabric-textured concrete, step-free access and an inventive landscaped deck.
- 3Sean's favourite layout: nearly 2,000 sq ft with only three bedrooms, so the living, dining, kitchen and in-between spaces are generous, with big windows throughout.
- 1Density and new supply, with more plots still to be built along Jalan Mont Kiara 3; the numbers still work, as an instalment of about RM8,000 to RM10,000 is covered by rent of RM10,000 to RM11,000.
- 2A planned link from Jalan Mont Kiara 4 to Jalan Mont Kiara 3 would make trips such as the school run easier, but end the privacy of the dead end.
- 3Basic facilities for about RM1,000 psf: one badminton court, a pool, a playground, an unfinished gym and an unremarkable rooftop, dressed up by good design.
For walkable Mont Kiara living with generous space, Allevia delivers; just don't buy it for the facilities.
