The search for quality affordable housing ends right here in Ampang…
Pix: Hon Residensi @ City Garden Commercial Centre – an affordable apartment within the enclave of KLCC
To live a perfect balanced life is to attain the ideal but illusive balance between urban-city lifestyle and countryside living. Purchasing your property in a strategic location is the key to a healthy and lucrative investment. It is a no-brainer that for the majority of KL populace and city folk, commuting within the metropolitan area would seem naturally convenient and beneficial for work or business. The scarcity of land these days has led to property prices skyrocketing through the roof. Despite the constant increase in property price, purchasing properties that are in close proximity to the KLCC enclave, but remain within the confines of the Golden Triangle, is seen as an ideal solution for the short term. With the last vestiges of land banks already developed, there is still one residential estate in Ampang which offers luxury residences at affordable prices – Taman Nirwana.
About Taman Nirwana
Located some ten-minutes’ drive from KLCC is Taman Nirwana in Ampang, this leasehold residential estate is situated right across Ampang Hilir, just next to Taman Dagang and Taman Putra Sulaiman. This matured neighbourhood houses rows of 2-storey and 3-storey link houses, condominiums and apartments. Taman Nirwana is surrounded by an array of amenities such as the Darussalam Nirwana Surau, SRK Taman Nirwana, Galaxy Ampang Shopping Centre, Hero Supermarket, and also Dagang Avenue – a commercial hub or business centre lined with rows of specialty shops, gourmet restaurants, beauty centres, an international food court, as well as a host of premium recreational facilities. Taman Nirwana is merely five minutes away from Ampang Point Shopping Centre, Tesco Ampang and Great Eastern Mall. Also, within the vicinity are several public parks which include Taman Tasik Ampang Hilir and Taman Rimba Ampang. The sprawling township is also home to several premier medical institutions and private hospitals such as the Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital and the Gleanegles Intan Medical Centre.
Strategic access & connectivity
Connectivity-wise, Taman Nirwana presents an ideal gateway towards all the other residential estates in under three minutes’ drive time, using the new Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH). Alternatively, one may use the upgraded Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) which is accessible via Jalan Cempaka and Jalan Ampang. The sprawling neighbourhood is also served by two RapidKL LRT stations — Station Cahaya and Station Cempaka. Through the years, property prices of residential housing within Taman Nirwana have also risen in tandem with KLCC’s residential market. Another one of Sri Seltra’s upcoming projects is none other than Hon Residensi @ City Garden Commercial Centre, which is also one of the most valued projects currently under construction in Taman Nirwana.
