And why not, since it represents a wonderful solution for a family that is growing, both in size and economically.

According to Golden Hope general manager Azmar Talib, families can start off by purchasing a standard double-storey bungalow.

"Then as the family grows and the person's income increases over the years, they can upgrade and not have to buy another bigger home some place else and have to move away," Azmar said.

Not surprisingly, the Growhomes bungalows have been well-received so far. Take the 27 double-storey Cyperus Growhomes launched in January this year fror example, where all the units were sold out within two months.

What's available now are the Growhomes double-storey bungalows within the 28-acre Lamanseri enclave. These bungalows will carry a Malaya theme, based on traditional architectural influences that use a lot of verandah and natural lighting in its design.

To date, the developer has launched 34 of the 94 bungalow units planned in Lamanseri and of this 65 per cent have been taken up. These units with built-up areas ranging between 1,987sq ft and 2,590sq ft are pegged from RM232,999 to RM429,070.

The next batch of these units, however, when they are launched will be pegged slightly higher, by about five to ten per cent.

Last year, the developer opened for sale 86 bungalow lots in Lamanseri, of which 70 per cent have been sold. The land areas for these plots range between 4,000sq ft and 7,727sq ft and are pegged from RM70,200.

Other positive attributes about the homes in Lamanseri are that they will be surrounded by man-made lakes and that they are sited just next to the 16-acre Central Park which will again feature lakes and lots of greenery.

Lamanseri buyers will also have a home in an exclusively landscaped garden environment as well as an interesting entrance statement.

In keeping with the "garden living within the greater airport city" theme, the developer has allocated some RM100 million on landscaping the RM2.3 billion Kota Seriemas township that will also feature concealed drains and underground cabling.

Over 200 units of double-storey houses that were launched about two years ago are scheduled for completion soon, in May this year. For those with smaller budgets, you may want to purchase these 20ft by 65ft units pegged from RM118,888 as there are limited units still available for sale.
