Another location you ought to go is Bukit Tunku. You will find a lot of well-designed homes with a lovely view of the city of KL that are bordered by wooden areas.
Hi, Taylor. 1:13 Looks like a rainbow Eucalyptus to me, so-called because as the bark peels, it exposes multiple colors underneath. They're native to the Philippines and Papua New Guinea, so someone transplanted them to Malaysia. If you want a nice scent in your apartment, gather up some of the fallen leaves and then dry and crush them. It's a spicy aroma. I recognize this tree because I worked at a place in California where someone had planted them. They shed branches, leaves, and bark like crazy. The tree is harvested for timber in the Philippines.
This really reminds me when I was little back in the 70s, my elder brother and sister used to bring us all for a drive to do house-spotting like this. Pleasant memories. Thank you Andrew. And your commentaries are fun to listen to as well.
Very nice place Mr Taylor I stayed in Malaysian 3 years during my masters degree 2015 to 2018 and I went to Penang 2011 in my honeymoon than I visited Penang 2018 unfortunately the hill of Penang was closed at that time for dovlpment When I come for my PHD I will vist you
I once saw a house that resembled a castle with a moat in Kenny Hills, if I remember correctly, you know anything about it? It belonged to a local celebrity but can't remember the name
There are three types of landed houses in Malaysia, terrace house, semi detached and Bungalows . The one stand alone is bungalow , the one with half open yard is Semi D , the last one is terrace house .
Nice video, Taylor. I agree that a clean, modern grey and white design is ideal. It would be great to see a condo version of this video. Maybe take us on a condo tour around the KLCC park area?
Dear Mr Walker, This video is actually very good for learning English🇬🇧🤴🏻👸🏻..apart from promoting Real Estate & Properties..around my neighbourhood 😎..
Scotland Calling!👋🏻👋🏻Thanks for taking us round that neighbourhood! On a past visit a visit to KL we missed seeing that area! Fun n interesting as always! 😄💓👋🏻
I used to live in that prestigious area with my late parents. 2:15, it used to be d house of one of d director in Isis Malaysia, my previous workplace, then he became d chairman for a local bank, BCBB. He, Dr Rozali, told me himself, that he liked d wooden house n bought it sometime in 1990.
Hi Taylor - that tree is a rainbow eucalyptus and you can find them in Hawai'i and other tropical places. Really enjoy your videos! Left Malaysia to live in US as a kid. You are re-introducing Malaysia back to me. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your interesting video for your infomation that is Called Damansara Height, yes is housing area some expat live here it is well organised housing area full of accomodation but it very famous. And well known.
Andrew, I dont believe this but you actually showed my former neighbour's house opposite my own. You were literally 5m from where I used to stay before I moved out. Its a great neighbourhood to stay in.
I enjoyed that tour. Informative too. I like where you’re going with your channel and am looking forward to more of these architectural excursions. Doubtless, one of the owners will invite you in for a tour sometime. I can see it coming. Thanks Taylor!
Nice video Andrew.. thanks.. In fact Malaysia has many Beverly Hills..in Ampang, Kajang and many more.. hope you can explore more and share with here..👍☺️
Real Kool houses there,I kindda like d first few looks bijou though,not overly big,u cn try check Canny hill n bukit tungku those used to be elite residences ages ago,not forgetting Bangsar hill too real nicey up there,self contained areas,it used to be my stomping ground during my bachelor's days, pleasant n entertaining vid Taylor thanks
used to come here for a local italian food restaurant years ago, but ever since the cook's changed it's not the same anymore lol. very2 nice neighborhood
There are many places like Damansara, e.g. Country Heights Kajang and Country Heights Damansara. However unlike Damansara it is guarded and not open to the public. The concept is you buy the land and build your dream home. Our ex-prime minister, Tun Mahathir lives in Country Heights Kajang. So expats who wish to customize the house design, this is the one.
Hi there, Damansara use to be plantation many years before Independent 1957. By the way, the name Damansara drive from Indian words: In Hindustani, “Daman” means “foothills” while “Sara” may mean either “a mansion of wealth”, or “water” in Sanskrit. The area use to be expat-living due to big corp companies located there such as SHELL, ESSO, UN and among others.
Ahh, Bukit Damansara. Everyone who lives there comes from old money... A lot of ministers too. Our 9th Prime Minister lived there and you would often see journalists camping near his home during his time.
I do very much enjoy looking at huge expensive homes admiring the architecture and wondering what it's like to live in one of them but I would be just as happy in a nice apartment in the city - especially if it has a skyline view.
Why not start a real estate vlog of all manner of Malaysian real estate with price tags and maybe internal views just like in House Hunters International!
My friend live there,quite nice three storey floors towards the basement.Eerrie feelings and so quiet,bigger spacious ever! swimming pool,bedrooms and has spacious living room #bukitunku #greenery
It is probably a eucalyptus plant because it has red and green markings. You mentioned previously about broken up roti and wondering why and is it freshly made. Well, Muslims often only eat with one hand. The cook makes the roti then upon finishing breaks it into small pieces suitable for individuals using only their right hand. I have found good roti in smaller establishments and I look for a grilltop and the cook to be working on the fresh dough. I stay away if it is in a kitchen or the roti is stacked. Have a good one.
Do you do your own editing/jump cuts? If so, what software do you use? If not, who does it for you? I’m looking for someone do do mine for me. I just don’t have time. Like that transition at the very beginning about it being way at the other end of KL from where you live. That was smooth.
@Andrew Taylor I really appreciate you for creating these contents. I was following this channel before I moved here and now to find nice places to go while I am here. 🙏
Hi Taylor, I’m looking for a gated community with villas reasonable for permanent residence visa. I would love to see you make a video of new communities in highland or cool weather near KL. PS. I will be moving to KL permanently next year
Well i live in Sabah and my dad is building a new house on a 17 thousand square feet plot with a 13 thousand square feet home and the cost is almost 10 million too so kl isn’t too expensive
@@EvolvedBonobo Thanks David! Yes, lovely convenient area. I def like the Tanjung Bungah area but part of me wants Batu Ferringhi. A little bit of distance away is not a bad thing...
It's fun to look and dream about living in a big fancy house but really it just ends up being more to clean. And Earl Grey might get lost in such a big space...better to have a cozy home to be together.
Taylor, I’m not sure you could live in the 6 bed 7 bath one. While you’d have 1 bathroom for each day, you’d have to find another place to stay 1 day a week. I mean really. . . How could somewhere expect you to spend a second night a week in the same bedroom???
Well, I wouldn’t call it forced but it was available to everyone, foreigners included, for free. We had an app that you had to use wherever you went anywhere and if you were not vaccinated it severely restricted where you could go. They had very strict lockdowns and no interstate travel for quite a while. It was challenging but I think Malaysia handled it quite well. I’m still wearing my mask in crowded places and because of that I have not had a cold in over three years! A record for me.
I feel high class watching this video
You are high class Ray Mak. You live in Ampang Hilir! 😂
😆
Another location you ought to go is Bukit Tunku. You will find a lot of well-designed homes with a lovely view of the city of KL that are bordered by wooden areas.

Much appreciated! Earl Grey says hi! 😊

Thank you so much! Yes, I must admit that I have looked at fancy houses my whole life. Always dreaming I guess! 😊
Very nice place Mr Taylor
I stayed in Malaysian 3 years during my masters degree 2015 to 2018 and I went to Penang 2011 in my honeymoon than I visited Penang 2018 unfortunately the hill of Penang was closed at that time for dovlpment

Great! 😊
The posh areas also include bukit tunku or previously called Kenny Hill. Bangsar as well.
I once saw a house that resembled a castle with a moat in Kenny Hills, if I remember correctly, you know anything about it? It belonged to a local celebrity but can't remember the name
@@mafarnsims all ultra rich live there. Even Michael teoh of ytl, lot10

Damansara is posh but wait until you see Bukit Tunku, those houses in the area are more like palaces!
I’ll try to check it out! 😊
@@andrewtaylor4558 please do and see if you can find the castle with the moat

Eco Majestic at Semenyih feels like Beverly Hills too.
nah, so cookie cutter.
I've been there, one of most beautiful & luxurious area in KL. Knowing not in million years i can afford any of that. Hehe
Yeah, but it’s fun to dream! 😊
Me too. Not in next life lol
LOL hilarious 😂
The best is still Bukit Tunku aka Kenny Hills...more peaceful, secluded, more greenery, undulating landscape, lower population density....
Thanks, I’ll check it out! 😊
And haunted too👻
Yep. Like old money(kenny hills) vs. new money(damansara)
💯
Full of Kak Ponti.. 👻👻👻 😂🤣😅
Bukit Tunku used to be the palce, however noew it is all run down and decayed.
Great video, really enjoyed the tour. Love to see different parts of KL.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thank you so much taylor. I really love your work👍👍and I can't wait to watch your next video 😊
You're so welcome!
Amazing content, Taylor 😊thank you
Thanks for watching!
Lovely homes, love them all !
😂😂That house on the upper hill on street side DOES look like a performing arts center....you are right! Too funny!😂
😂
This is considered to be one of the elite areas in KL.
used to come here for a local italian food restaurant years ago, but ever since the cook's changed it's not the same anymore lol. very2 nice neighborhood
Lovely neighbourhood! Are you going to do a trip to Langkawi soon? I'm here now and I'm having a blast!
Langkawi is the best!
Would love to go to Langkawi again! 😊

The tree with the colorful trunk is Eucalyptus sp.
Thanks! 😊
Hey Taylor, I live in Bukit Damansara. Wish I saw you around though! Love the video.
Thanks! 😊
Hi Andrew, can you do the video regarding villas with beach front lots for sale in Malaysia wich foreigners can buy and own? Thanks,
Great suggestion! 😊
So much fun. ❤️
Thanks Joseph! 😊

1:16 they are called rainbow gum tree
Hilly area around bangsar also have many very big luxury mansions. Not sure the exact name, maybe bukit pantai
You mean Bukit Bandaraya?
Ahh, Bukit Damansara. Everyone who lives there comes from old money... A lot of ministers too. Our 9th Prime Minister lived there and you would often see journalists camping near his home during his time.
Interesting 😊
Semi detached. The one that got renovated.
I should know that! I lived in one once. 😂
I do very much enjoy looking at huge expensive homes admiring the architecture and wondering what it's like to live in one of them but I would be just as happy in a nice apartment in the city - especially if it has a skyline view.

Bukit bandaraya, bangsar more private neighbourhood residential nice to see
Problem with having a stunning big house all the freeloaders come out. Nice viewing I love this sort of video.
Thanks! 😊
If im not mistaken that is Eucalyptus Rainbow tree

Thank you so much. I do everything on my channel, including all editing. I use CapCut. I find it very easy to use. 😊
I have been here over 6 months. This place looks out of this world.
It’s really nice. 😊
@Andrew Taylor I really appreciate you for creating these contents. I was following this channel before I moved here and now to find nice places to go while I am here. 🙏
Stayed in Damasara two decades ago, can’t recognise it now.
Eucalyptus deglupta or commonly known as rainbow eucalyptus.
How I wish their leaves smell like Eucalytus Globulus or Radiata....
Thanks, it’s gorgeous! 😊
Hi Taylor, I’m looking for a gated community with villas reasonable for permanent residence visa. I would love to see you make a video of new communities in highland or cool weather near KL.
PS. I will be moving to KL permanently next year
Sounds great!
Well i live in Sabah and my dad is building a new house on a 17 thousand square feet plot with a 13 thousand square feet home and the cost is almost 10 million too so kl isn’t too expensive
Good for him!
Hey Taylor, is there a way I can get a hold of you? I want your opinion on some Penang condo developments since you lived there so long. Thanks!
Sure, email me at Taylorboz96@gmail.com
Check out Straits Quay, Quayside, and the Gurney Walk areas.
@@EvolvedBonobo Thanks David! Yes, lovely convenient area. I def like the Tanjung Bungah area but part of me wants Batu Ferringhi. A little bit of distance away is not a bad thing...
Yeah its a Eucalyptus. Fairly common in Southern California
Why not you go to visit Bukit Setiawangsa nearby you
I think there is a helicopter tour in Setiawangsa
I’ll check it out! 😊
Dat tree looks very much like d Australian gum tree, with its bark peeling off. U can see some of them up along d Frazers Hill Road.
Two of my class mates live there.
Cool 😎
Rainbow tree also knowns as Rainbow eucalyptus
Looks like Tanjung Bungah
Thank you it was great video and if we win the mega millions then we can buy on of those houses 😂😂
Good luck! 😊
I wanna live with you there! Like the golden gurls
Sounds fun! 😊
It's fun to look and dream about living in a big fancy house but really it just ends up being more to clean. And Earl Grey might get lost in such a big space...better to have a cozy home to be together.
Yes, I don’t need all that! 😊
I know the feeling of cleaning house all the time, as I get older I wish for a tiny house lol
rainbow eucalyptus, also found in australia
But Damansara did not get sliced up with highways and byways like the rest of KL like Pudu, Ampang, Kg. Pandan etc.
🤔
I would be happy to own any, nicer ones have gardens and trees.
It might be a rainbow tree (Eucalyptus).
Nice homes...I think I would just rent. Is there an empty lot for sale? I can afford to put up a toughshed...🤣
Not that I know of 😂
Could you share how much a house like this would cost in USD? Thx 😊
Ah about 2-3m.. thanks for the info Taylor.
Some of those are actually offices, not houses. You can see it that it has guard house in front.
Nope, they are houses. Many, many homes of the wealthy here have guard houses. 😊
So true.
Many houses have it's own private securities
2:54 just behind you is where the current prime minister used to stay. Najib. My parents house is 3 minutes away.
The land was only 200000rm for each 10000 ft lot during 1970s
Nice houses but cannot afford.good info
I don’t know anyone who could afford. 😂
I mean what kind on people afford such houses? Excluding sportsman,artistes,and politicians
@@MrAmerazmi Not sure! 😊
The house at 7:14 may be the house for Wife #2. 😉
😂
haha
Do you find the language barrier a problem in Malaysia if one only speaks English?
Not at all. English is widely spoken here! 😊
That tree is a Rainbow Eucalyptus
Thanks 😊
Taylor, I’m not sure you could live in the 6 bed 7 bath one. While you’d have 1 bathroom for each day, you’d have to find another place to stay 1 day a week. I mean really. . . How could somewhere expect you to spend a second night a week in the same bedroom???
So true. Couldn’t possibly manage! 😂
That’s a rainbow eucalyptus tree
Bukit Damansara = Muhyiddin Yassin (8th Prime Minister of Malaysia, serving from March 1, 2020 to August 16, 2021)
Question did they force you all to get vac💉?
Well, I wouldn’t call it forced but it was available to everyone, foreigners included, for free. We had an app that you had to use wherever you went anywhere and if you were not vaccinated it severely restricted where you could go. They had very strict lockdowns and no interstate travel for quite a while. It was challenging but I think Malaysia handled it quite well. I’m still wearing my mask in crowded places and because of that I have not had a cold in over three years! A record for me.
That one is Nursajat's house isnt it ??
Don’t know 😊
Jangan disebut nama dia tu!!! 😡
Taylor, start doing yourself a favor. Be a registered agent, and sell houses to Americans back home.
I used to be an agent! 😊
