A few months ago, a friend of mine dropped me a bombshell and told me that she had just got a unit in Twin Palms, Sg Long. While I have seen the beautiful newspaper adverts and the almost permanent advertisement on one of the overhead advertisement along Jalan Tun Razak, I have never actually checked out the place for real. So I decided to follow her to see the progress of her unit.
Twin Palms is located just beside the SILK Highway. If you are coming from Mines, you will need to exit just before the Sg. Long toll plaza. After many many tolls coming from Damansara, we finally arrived the development and is welcome by a very futuristic looking guardhouse. I must say my first impressions were very good of this place. It reminded me very much of Desa Park City, where the landscaping is very fresh with clean and linear lines.

The Clubhouse, called Orinoco, is also very impressive (except for the stupid mushroom waterfall in the kid’s wading pool - why bother?!). Overall, it seems to be a good place for own stay. No wonder she is swayed.
In the end, at about RM580k for the 2-storey links, it seems to be quite a good buy for own stay. I only had wish that the specifications given are much better. Have a look at the photos. The 3-storey Semi-Ds (Areca) looks very impressive, it reminded me a lot of Idamansara but this one the specs are somehow downgraded when compared to the E&O one. Also, for me the location is really beyond me, but given a few years, when more developments are completed, this could be a very nice development in the future.
More photos after the jump. These photos are taken 25th May 2009.
