Analysis

Based on some research, some of the main concern of One Residence is the traffic jam. The roads of concern are the junction at Jalan Bayan, as well as the junction at Jalan Relau, where the jams can extend for a distance of over 0.5km. Other major drawbacks of One Residence are one of the roads nearby, Jalan Mahkamah, has a night market every Saturday night, and hence it is closed for the public. Therefore, despite the strategic location, one must consider the time taken to travel to places before purchasing this property.
