Bukit Dumbar Indah is not spared from this either, so residents will need to expect heavy traffic if they are travelling during peak hours.The neighbourhood of Bukit Dumbar Indah is generally dedicated to the upper middle class; hence the environment is rather pleasant and residents need not expect riff raff as the occupants are mostly families. There have not been any cases of robberies, thefts or break ins at this condominium, therefore it can be concluded that the security team do their jobs well. Looking at the rising price trends of this condominium which was selling at approximately RM285,000 and negotiable in 2009 compared to the current price of RM520,000, it is safe to conclude that the price of this condominium will continue to rise steadily, making Bukit Dumbar Indah a good investment.
