Scenic Views of Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (TTDI)

TTDI is a serene and quiet enclave that sits at the border of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. It was once a dead end of Kuala Lumpur City Centre. But over the years, its proximity to Petaling Jaya – just a 10 minute drive, to One Utama – a mere 20 mins by foot (yes, by foot) and to KLCC -a 15 to 20 minute drive, it has become one of the most convenient residential areas in the Klang Valley.

We’ve compiled three of the best scenic views of TTDI :

#1 TTDI PARK

Undoubtedly one of the best parks in KL, the TTDI park is a popular choice amongst parents, hikers, bikers and joggers. It is well-maintained by the local council and offers loops of well-paved jogging paths and physically challenging inclines. The park sits next to a dense forest, so don’t be alarmed if you encounter mobs of active monkeys looking for treats. If you’re in the mood for hiking, the forest also provides trails for a mini excursion in nature.

Address: Jalan Abang Haji Openg, TTDI Hills, 60000 Kuala Lumpur

#2 Stesen TTDI

To enhance the centrality of TTDI as a location, the MRT location is situated at the edge of the area. It will take you downtown in a nifty. There are free MRT feeder bus stops around the neighbourhood so it’s really convenient for local residents to take public transportation to anywhere in the city.

Address : Stesen Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) Jalan Damansara 6000 Kuala Lumpur (Station Code: SBK10)

#3 Pasar Besar TTDI

This may not be a panoramic view, but the Pasar Besar TTDI is an icon amongst the local residents. Heavily patronised by expats, this covered market is clean and dry, so there’s no chance of tripping on slippery floors or of coming away with your clothes reeking of fish. For a wet market, it’s not very wet at all. Visit early for dibs on a fair range of vegetables and fruits including hard-to-find ones like Australian mango, artichoke and passion fruit. The stalls are also well-stocked with lentils, fresh tofu, raw honey and other pantry essentials.

The market is neatly compartmentalised compared to most others in town: The ground floor features fresh items like meats, vegetables, wet food and flowers while the first floor houses tailors, baking supply stores, specialised organic shops and a noteworthy food court. The non-halal section on the lower ground floor features pork of all cuts in belly, shank and shoulder. TTDI market has been operating for over 25 years, and after narrowly escaping a teardown due to MRT developments, it looks set to stay. Take note that some vendors don't operate on Mondays.

It was recognised as the cleanest, safest public market by the Health Ministry in 2021 : https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2021/11/24/ttdi-market-recognised-as-cleanest-safest-public-market-by-health-ministry

The house hunting checklist by Yin Homes: Must-ask questions of every prospective home buyer

Looking to buy a house in TTDI but not sure what questions to ask? We’ve compiled a checklist of questions we think would matter most to you when looking for a landed house in matured neighbourhoods like TTDI.

 Getting the technical specs of the house

• What is the land size?

• Can the house be extended? (Can council approval be obtained for extension - to the back, front? For building another storey?)

• Is there a side yard?

Getting to know your neighbours

• Are they families, retired, etc.?

• Are they owners of the house or is it tenanted?

Understanding the condition of the house*

• When was the last renovation done?

• What’s the age and condition of the electrical wiring? Has it ever been redone?

• What’s the age and condition of the plumbing? Has it ever been redone?

• Roof - Are there any leaks, watermarks?

• Are there any furnishings left behind, such as air-conditioning units? If yes, what is the condition of the items, are they old or new?

*If in doubt, don’t be afraid to bring a trusted contractor to evaluate all of the above with you.

Scouting the neighbourhood

• Is there ample parking space? Are the roads narrow or wide? (e.g. are people parking by the roadside, double parking?)

• How often does the garbage truck come by? Where do you bring your trash bags to? (e.g. in TTDI it is to the back)

• Visit the house in different times of the day to get a feel of the indoor temperature and level of activity - morning, afternoon, and evening

• Is your street well-lit?

Paying attention to the house and the area as we mentioned above helps make your decision making way easier! If you are still unsure, feel free to give us a call or drop us a text for a chat!

Every Homeowner's #1 Question to Their Real Estate Agent

Planning to sell your TTDI house? Get the most important question on your mind answered by us!

The #1 Question of Every Homeowner:

 “How much is my home worth?” Every seller’s greatest fear is selling too low and every buyer’s greatest fear is buying too high.

Here’s how to figure out what’s a fair valuation - and get it!

Survey past and current sale prices in the neighbourhood and complete with info on renovations, extensions, and refurbishments.

Look at past transactions and current asking price in your neighbourhood.

Your real estate agent should be able to advice how many days in the market has the current properties been sitting in the market at the current ask price. This should give you an indication of what’s the fair market value.

Why is this important?

The type of renovation, extensions and refurbishments done to the unit is important because it impacts the buyers’ overall cost of buying a house in a matured neighbourhood. In more recent neighbourhoods, the buyers don’t worry about the wiring, plumbing and general wet works but for neighbourhoods like TTDI that are over 40 years old, these are usually the areas that are necessary and the most costly.

So if your house has been renovated, be sure to compile a list of renovation done and when it was done. The more recent it’s done, the better the value it’d add to your house.

However, aesthetic renovations are very subjective. The more heavily renovated the house, the longer it might take to sell the house because the general price of the house will increase but not all buyers will like it.

And this is why every house in TTDI is unique, so be sure to compare apples with apples.

The value of the house depends on the area it is located. Every area in TTDI has its own unique selling point and thus, appeals to different people.

To understand what the preferences are and how it impacts the value of your house, don’t be afraid to speak to your local real estate agent.

Next, keep yourself in the loop with the performance of your listing.

Your real estate agent should be able to provide all analytics and data related to their marketing activities related to your property.

As the community relies increasingly more on digital media for marketing, all backend marketing including the cost of marketing should be readily available.

So if your house sits on the market for far too long, you should be able to evaluate whether it’s because there isn’t enough marketing or because it is not priced correctly.

By making educated decisions about your house with our monthly update report. Leave no room for guessing games.

This is why at Yin Homes, we consider our relationship with every single home owner as a business partnership.

We meet once a month to discuss and evaluate collectively how we should constantly move forward to ensuring your house gets sold within a preferred timeframe at an optimum price.

We have 8 years’ experience in residential pre-owned homes with an experience of managing up group sales of up to RM300 million per annum. This means that we are here to assist and support you in making one of the most important decisions of your life : Selling your TTDI house.

High rises and terrace houses appear as the top preferred choices in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail (TTDI) among homebuyers and investors.

🏘️Landed properties like terrace houses are making a comeback recently for various reasons.

🤓With a large portion of the nation’s workforce working from home since the start of the pandemic,

📣“…the desire for larger, more spacious property has resulted in the shift towards terrace houses as well as properties in the fringes of city centre…,” said PropertyGuru DataSense Managing Director Joe Hock Thor in reflection of Malaysia’s property data in 2021.

TTDI could be that location for you. 😉

What Makes Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) So Special?

As a realtor, the most common question I get from clients who are not familiar with TTDI is: What makes this place so special?

o   When you look up TTDI houses for sale, you’d find:

RM1.3M – 1.8M for an old, run-down 40 years old terrace house.

o   When you look up TTDI single storey houses for sale, you might be surprised to find:

RM 1.18M for a single storey house with no renovation but getting snapped up within days.

Are you wondering why?

Where is TTDI Located?

The easy, simple way to justify the price tag is to say that the centrality of its location. You will see on the map that TTDI is surrounded by major highways leading to Petaling Jaya or KLCC -- Penchala Link, Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong -- and just a short drive from the Kerinchi Link.

There is also an MRT TTDI Station. For those of you who would like to search, the station code is SBK10. There are feeder busses going around the area to take residents to the station. For more information on the feeder bus schedule within TTDI, you can head over to: https://www.mrt.com.my/feeder_bus/index.htm

However, there are many other locations within Klang Valley that can offer similar conveniences and probably at a slightly lower price tag.

So, what more does TTDI have to offer?

Amenities and Facilities in TTDI

That the amenities are in abundance and that there are commercial conveniences within the area.

Start your day with a latte from Quartet. Scoot over to Dusun to grab some kombucha and fresh fruits before heading to your car to pick up your laundry at Zeccy.

You might want to grab some fresh vegetables and fish from your local grocers: Fresh Grocer or Ever Fresh before going to Maybank/CIMB/RHB/ to take care of your financial errands.

In the evening, perhaps you’d like to go for a little stroll around the park then you head to Taman Bukit Kiara. If you wish to go for a hike, just drive over to the TTDI hills for a pleasant hike.

Do all the above without leaving the TTDI vicinity. Now, isn’t that convenience at your fingertips?

 The TTDI Community

The lifestyle and conveniences the area offer fits the demographic of the modern family: Young or Retired.

TTDI is a special and unique place to live because of its community. It is a community that has shown over time that all it stands for and its efforts to make this a better place is to leave a legacy: to leave this place better for the next generation. You will find that the parks are well-kept & the streets are clean. When there is debris or rubbish – someone takes the initiative to call the local authorities to do something about it.

In the early 2000s, TTDI’s crime rate was on the rise. The residents then decided that something had to be done for the good of this neighborhood through a new policing programme. The initiative — a collaboration between the Home Ministry, Performance Management and Delivery Unit, and the Malaysian Digital Economy Corp, which aims to speed up tasks and give the police enough time to investigate cases — entails equipping police personnel with protective gear, logistics tools and non-lethal weapons such as stun guns, body cameras and other system improvements.

Through this programme, the crime rate in TTDI has fallen by 40% just 20 months after the programme kickstarted. In the early stages, monthly meetings with the residence were held to keep an open dialogue. The community here is highly intellectual with strong civic mindedness. This makes the area a very safe and healthy environment to raise a family.
