The selling price of approximately RM300 psf for a low-density development is scarce in Johor. It potentially offers good value in terms of standard of living, but its location is less than ideal in terms of convenience. Traffic conditions are not excellent as well, as Jalan Garuda leading to Jalan Dato Jaafar is often congested throughout the day.
