City living might seem glamorous and full of life, but the daily grind of living in a busy and vibrant city can become too consuming, eventually making you feel overwhelmed.
So, it is not surprising that many who were once city dwellers are now choosing to live further, even when the commute could take up a chunk of their time in the mornings and evenings. The reasons are simple: a chance to connect to a real home and regain a sense of peace and tranquillity.
Escape from the city
As Malaysians embrace a more contemporary and flexible working arrangement, living further from the city is not only doable, but it also offers a chance to recharge and refresh the mind.
Home should be where people can connect with nature and a community, enjoy their favourite leisure activities at ease, and not have to constantly live in a rush. This is the where the mind flourishes and contributes to better mental health as people attain a balance between work and life.
Financially, living away from the city has its perks as property prices are more affordable, without sacrificing living spaces. This is particularly great for long-term plans like starting a family and eventually owning properties at greater value. Plus, townships outside the city are now more accessible and provide all the essential amenities such as medical centres, schools, lifestyle & commercial centres and recreational parks.
Modern living with a laid-back charm
Recently, our team had an opportunity to visit the idyllic area of Seremban 2, specifically Sutera S2 Heights Aman, a township developed by IJM Land that is nestled amid lush landscapes and rolling hills of Negeri Sembilan.
It offers an ideal setting for living outside the city, with a township cleverly constructed to suit the needs and tastes of a modern family and young professionals, while keeping a sense of community and connection to nature.
Serene location with easy connectivity
Sutera S2 Heights Aman is easily accessible via the nearby toll exit to PLUS highway. The township is located closer to Selangor and KL, making the journey into the city bearable and shorter, compared to locations further into Negeri Sembilan. Nevertheless, access to important amenities such as the KPJ Seremban Specialist Hospital, Columbia Asia Hospital Seremban and Klinik Kesihatan Seremban 2 is just within 15 minutes. There are around 14 choices of school, ranging from government to private schools. There are also plenty of commercial hubs and malls within reach, such as the S2 Uptown Avenue, AEON Mal, Mydin Mall & Lotus’s Hypermarket.
Chic and smart residential homes
We then had the chance to tour one of the show homes of Sutera S2 Heights Aman. It’s impressive how they have considered the modern needs in mind - the homes are all equipped with a digital door lock, which is part of its smart home configuration. An added convenience for electric vehicle (EV) owners is the ready-installed EV isolator point on the car porch. This thoughtful feature eliminates the need for any additional installation, saving you thousands of ringgit in installation costs.
The layout of the home adopts an open space concept, with ample natural light and airflow. Again we were impressed with the design that incorporates accessibility elements - the room on the ground floor has a toilet with a sliding door and a ramp, which is helpful for wheelchair users or families with elderly people.
The homes are all surrounded by greeneries, with walking paths surrounding the guarded neighbourhood and solar-powered street lights illuminating it at night.
We also visited the pet-friendly park that is designed for residents to allow their pets to wander safely. Additionally, there will be 2 other parks which are a 12-acre lake park and a 3-acre kids adventure park.
Overall, we find Sutera S2 Heights Aman a pleasant area to live in and desirable for those who are looking for a place that is not too far and not too near to KL. With well-designed homes and neighbourhoods, it’s perfect for those who want to have a simple and laid-back life but at the same time don't want to be disconnected from the modern lifestyle needs.
