Let me know what do you think of buying property in an area with a home-owners association?? Tell me your opinion, if you happen to live in those areas with home-owners associaton. For example: Damansara Jaya ROA, PJS 9, etc.

@danielfoo thank you for the useful info daniel. as i'm not local, i just want to know what benefits we can get from the areas with homeowner association committees :)

Hi Julia, I stay in PJ, and the more prominent members of my neighbourhood have recently started a neighbourhood association. They started it in lieu of the higher than normal crime rate in my area now, and we now have a neighbourhood watch. So members of the team volunteer to patrol the place, and they have connections with the police as well so that if there happens to be a break in or something, the police will be at my area in a jiffy.

I live in Kajang and had this Rumah Tetangga committee organise a few things such as gotong royong and etc..but that was during my younger days la..now no news already for many years..sad but i feel an area with a home-owners association will be a good deal!

It's a positive sign.
