As the city's real estate prices continue to rise, housing developers such as IJM Land Bhd are stepping in to decisively solve this conundrum by offering spacious homes that are within many homebuyers' budgets.
IJM Land's Rimbun Aman, located within the fully integrated township of Seremban 2, is an affordable housing development that can meaningfully accommodate the growing needs of a modern family, including first-time hombuyers.
Rimbun Aman is spread across 42 acres of freehold land and consists of 304 units of single-storey link homes with a total gross development value (GDV) of RM125 million.
Prices start at RM350,000, and the built-up area ranges from 971 to 1,135 square feet, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
According to Datuk Hoo Kim See, senior general manager (central region) of IJM Land, the layout and design of the unit necessitate artistic interpretation bordering on philosophy.
High-quality, well-crafted, and long-lasting furniture is carefully chosen, and their distinctive arcs bring to life the round shape from which the concept was derived.
The homes and corresponding decor are specifically designed to accommodate large numbers of people in a supposedly small area, based on the theme of Togetherness.
For example, the dining table can be extended to accommodate more guests, which is an important feature for any host planning a reunion or gathering.
Storage slots have been discreetly incorporated into the living area, and one of the kitchen drawers can be extended further to transform the space into an L shape. If you need more space for food preparation, one of the kitchen parts has a retractable tabletop.
Aesthetics are practical and functional, elegant yet adaptable to one's changing lifestyle needs.
Bedrooms are also flexible, with configurations designed to maximise space utilisation. Because the units have high ceilings, it is simple to convert the bedrooms into a multi-level bed configuration that provides ample headroom and storage space.
Bedroom two, for example, has double-decker super single beds, allowing two people to sleep comfortably.
The stairs leading to the top bunk are used for storage, and the bottom level with the tatami bed has a compartment beneath it.
Bedroom three features a retractable bed that can be used as a desk for studying or working.
According to Hoo, each element was chosen with care, with the overall effect echoing the adage "less is more."
He invited homebuyers to take part in Rimbun Aman's fulfilling lifestyle, which is enhanced by the sustainable environment and abundance of modern conveniences.
The newly launched show unit reveals the full potential of Rimbun Aman's homes.
"The purpose of the show units is to exhibit the true value of space by utilising it to the fullest. We believe family is the most valuable possession we can have in our life, and as such, a good home is one where it can host everyone within it. And not just that, but to function as a catalyst for meaningful family interaction to happen. This reunion-styled decor is a nod to homebuyers that regardless of the space, we can all be united together in a loving environment," Hoo said.
Residents of Rimbun Aman enjoy a tranquil country atmosphere with plenty of green spaces because it is located within the township of Seremban 2. Numerous community-friendly facilities are interspersed throughout the 45-acre total park space, each uniquely designed and subtly positioned to foster friendship among residents.
The 30 acre Hill Park, which hosts a mini dinosaur-themed play area, crowns the apex of Seremban 2, and Kepayang Hill, a renowned hiking trail among trekking enthusiasts, is not far away.
"The perfect township constitutes various factors, and we are proud to state that Seremban 2 fulfils most of them. Homebuyers get to enjoy modern conveniences without the noise and pollution inherent in the city. At the same time, they are surrounded by a lush environment filled with the abundance of nature," Hoo said.
