Another criterion to follow when it comes to looking for a good location is to invest within 15 kilometres of a major economic centre. Some people choose to live more than 15 kilometres from jobs, shopping, and other community centres. But not most people. Remember the supply and demand principle we learnt in economics - a higher demand + limited supply leads to higher rents and higher values? As investors, we want to give ourselves the best chance to succeed by owning investments where most people want to live. People tend to flock towards areas where it is more convenient to commute to work, shopping centres, educational facilities, recreational amenities as well as medical institutions.  One particular area to consider your next investment is Taman Melati, which is located in the Wangsa Maju parliamentary constituency. This township has seen major development over the past few years as it has a potential for economic growth, being just 13km (22 minutes) by car to Kuala Lumpur City Centre via Jalan Genting Kelang.  As a self-contained township, residents of Taman Melati are content with the array of amenities that are just a stone’s throw away. Educational facilities such as SK Taman Melati Sekolah Rendah Agama al-Falahiah, SMK Taman Melati, Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (located near Taman Melati), International Islamic University Malaysia (located 5km from Taman Melati), as well as Sekolah Rendah Agama Salehuddin Al-Ayyubi, are all within the catchment of the township.  For the convenience of commute, Taman Melati LRT station makes it convenient for residents to use public transport. Also within a one-kilometre radius is the Columbia Asia Hospital for those ever-important medical needs.  Taman Melati has its shopping mall called M3Mall located opposite Taman Melati flats on Jalan Madrasah. The mall has its shopping outlets and restaurants. Further to that, Sime Darby Property’s first 100%-owned retail mall is scheduled to be opened in March 2020. The KL East Mall located at the 160-acre integrated KL East development in Taman Melati, Kuala Lumpur has a gross built-up of about 1.2 million sq ft and a net lettable area of 384,210 sq ft. Key tenants include Jaya Grocer, Camp5, MBO, Blue Ice-Skating Rink, Toys ‘R’ Us, Harvey Norman, Jungle Gym and Café Chef Wan.  Since Setapak has been the home ground for community developer Platinum Victory as they have been developing in this area for the past two decades, it is no surprise that they chose Taman Melati as the development ground for PV9. PV9 is a project that comprises two blocks of high-rise condominiums. Sprawled across 5.6 acres of land, the development comfortably sits at a fine point between the Tunku Abdul Rahman University College and the Taman Melati LRT Station, allowing residents unparalleled educational and connectivity conveniences.

It not only offers invigorating views it has many featured facilities for the luxury of its residents. From zen garden and a tropical garden at the rooftops where residents could enjoy the refreshing breeze as they bask in the scenic views from atop.  Aside from rest and relax, the development also offers its residents an array of living conveniences such as a game room, kid’s playground, basketball court, gazebo, BBQ pit, gym and a swimming pool.
