    Drove up this around 5pm today and it took us around 30 minutes to clear the checkpoints and get on the coastal highway. We have been noticing an interesting development as we drive along the coastal highway. It's on an island on the left connected by a medieval looking bridge and I thought it...

    Your idea is actually a very common intention across many who are/have been considering purchasing property in JB. Own stay, return on investment, weekend home, rental yields, condo vs landed property, security concerns, good food locations. So many things to discover and learn here. You've...

    It's always been that teh tarik colour (at least ever since I went to check NI out in June 2010). The optimist in me assumes it's going though a cleaning out process and eventually will turn into a lovely crystal clear lake :)

    Wah! I didn't know they put up a website finally! It wasn't around when I was scouring the net for info last year :)

    Hi TayJC sorry to bring this up and perhaps you didn't mean to but this comment came of as a little offensive to me (and I'm Singaporean). I'll overlook the saefty issues at NI as there have been cases raised before but I do wonder what you meant by not fitting in a neighbourhood where there are...

    As a member of NI Precinct 8, I welcome you to the neighbourhood! Can you enlighten me on how much of Phase 8B has been sold so far? I haven't visited the sales office for ages and am curious.

    Hi Crystal welcome to Nusa Idaman! Maybe yours, vincent's and my families can take turns sharing tea at our respective gardens and enjoying some sweet mangoes from vincent's tree soon :) I have also planned to plant a mango tree (and a rambutan tree) in our garden but still weighing the pros...

    Hi Mattl02138. Didn't notice anyone reply to you yet so I thought I'd chip in. A pretty decent site that has updates on developments including floorplans is http://thissit.com/Default.aspx It doesn't have all the developments out there but it has amassed quite a set and you can make some...

    Re: Investing in Nusajaya Hi GorengPisang! Nice to see another NI neighbour in the forums! :) At first when I heard your lot is 32x75 I was surprised as that is pretty big. If that's the standard unit size at 8B then I'd say it's an increase from Phase 8A. Then I thought maybe you included...

    Hi Crystal! Congrats on your loan approval. I'm vincent's neighbour in NI Precint 8 and will be hopefully getting my keys next year :) Can't comment much on the security as we haven't stayed there yet. We're planning to stay there 24/7 though.

    Welcome neighbor! :) Which precinct did you get? Is it the semi-D at Precinct 4 or the new launch at 7? I'm at Precinct 8. Good luck!

    For those of you interested in checking out Nusa Idaman, I believe they will be having a launch party for their Phase 7 this Sunday. That's what I heard from the sales rep when I visited a couple of weeks back. Even if it's not a party you can still ask them about it and walk around. Not...

    I've been thinking about grills for windows since I have this impression that those imposing robust grills can be pretty ugly and lessen the beauty of the house design with those nice large windows. I'm wondering if we can install really strong thick glass for our windows/sliding doors and then...

    JB_Dream: Just to add to LeMans2011 answer to your queries, my suggestion is for you to go visit some of these developments and talk to the people there personally. Take some time and drive around with your wife to these few areas to really get a feel about what it's like just being there (that...

    Hi all! I haven't checked the site for a few days and already so many new postings! That shows how lively and active the community is which is really cool. I enjoy reading up on the various tips and insights (and try to offer some of my own whenever possible) and look forward to contributing...

    This I found strange as well. We assumed it would be a similar system like Singapore where they scan the passport through the reader, but we saw the officer flip to the MACs pages, read a bit then hand the passports back to us. Done. Looks like this mean that they don't officially have a record...

    Diverting from the topic of returns on rental and such for a moment, I came across a new development nestled amongst Bukit Indah, Nusa Idaman and Horizon Hills. A newly launched condo project called Horizon Residence. I saw the piling works and what I think is the sales office all set up as I...
