Palm Spring is a popular condominium located in Kota Damansara. It carries a western-style ambience, its grounds are paved with tiles and bricks, and the walkways are lined with palm trees as befitting its name.
According to residents however, the density of living at Palm Spring is rather high with 6 blocks and at least 2,100 units. They also grouse that the parking lots are located in a separate building from the residence, and that there is insufficient visitor parking lots for over 2,100 units.
Reviews have however also mentioned the perks of living at Palm Spring. Residents and tenants mention that the condominium is strategically located close to shopping malls, and that the landscaping of the condominium is very well-managed. A later review also mentions that the parking issues have been resolved and that the community has been improving with an increasing number of lecturer tenants.

According to reviews, the major perks of living at Empire Damansara are its convenient location and quiet environment despite being close to highways.

It is also said that depending on your choice of unit, you either get a spectacular view of green hills from the 18th floor upwards, or a less pleasant view of mesh wires on the lower floors.

Top 3 Most Reviewed Property - SS2
Next on the list is the neighbourhood of SS2 with 14 reviews. While not a planned township or standalone condominium similar to the rest of the properties on this list, SS2 deserves a mention of its own because of its popularity.
There is a mixture of good and bad reviews about this neighbourhood. Gripes that residents have on SS2 is the peak hour traffic, and that the landed properties are not a properly gated & guarded community. It is said that break-ins used to be quite rampant in this area, until the residents set up and hired their own community guards. Another issue that annoys the residents is the many potholes on the roads, illegal signages and buntings, as well as the non-civic minded residents who litter the area.
There is however also a long list of perks of living at SS2 according to the reviews. This includes amazing accessibility, convenience, and great food. Residents like that there are plenty of banking facilities within walking distance of home, a morning market, food street, durian stalls, and the area’s easy accessibility to LRT stations and highways. They also like that they are so close to the 1 Utama Shopping Centre and Atria Shopping Gallery.
