Dedaun Rimba: the first chapter of Kwasa Damansara.

CHAPTER 01

What sets it apart

Dedaun Rimba is the first completed project in Kwasa Damansara: about 264 leasehold strata homes, with link houses around a central park and an outer ring of townhouses. The rows are single-loaded, so homes face the garden and there are no back lanes.

The 1,396 sq ft lower townhouse reverses the usual layout, with the kitchen at the front and the living room opening onto the garden, plus a ground-floor bedroom, three bathrooms and two tandem parking bays. The owner paid about RM780,000.

CHAPTER 02

Where it is

Kwasa Damansara's roads, parks and MRT station were finished before the homes; the owner commutes by MRT, which you can hear from the garden. For now, residents rely on neighbouring Kota Damansara for shops.

CHAPTER 03

Rent and returns

It is too new for rents to be known, and most early buyers appear to be moving in themselves. Prices are already moving: garden-facing link houses sold at about RM1.38 million are being offered on the subsale market at about RM1.9 million.

What caught Sean's eye

Homes that face a shared garden

Instead of back lanes, the link houses ring a central park, and each home's best spaces open onto it rather than the street. Because it is strata, with guarded security and a management that keeps the facades uniform, the garden works as an extension of every home.

SEAN'S TAKE

3 on 3

The three things Sean likes and the three he doesn't, from his own list at the end of the episode.

WHAT SEAN LIKES
  • 1A master plan that built the infrastructure first: roads, walkways, parks, street lighting and an operating MRT station, with the master developer's own headquarters up before land was parcelled out to other developers.
  • 2Strata landed living: maintained common areas and facades, homes that open onto a central park, managed parking, and deliberately simple, low-maintenance facilities.
  • 3The developer's design flair: subtle wall textures, angled columns, a Santorini-toned pool and careful partitions, which is why many buyers trust the brand.
WHAT SEAN DOESN'T
  • 1The township will take years: there are no shops yet, so families rely on Kota Damansara, and prices already match similar condo layouts.
  • 2Puzzling details: feeder pillars painted green rather than screened with planting, lower townhouses whose living rooms open straight onto a shared walkway, and outer units facing very wide roads.
  • 3Competition: Sunsuria, MRCB, YTL and others are building here, which matters most for high-rise buyers, and the area's appeal rests on the MRT and the new roads.
“

Sean's punchline: strata landed homes from a reputable developer, under RM800,000 in the Klang Valley and within walking distance of a park and an MRT station, are now rare.
