Maxim The Address vs Senyum Residences
The short version: Senyum Residences wins on raw RTS proximity (about 900 m), while Maxim The Address wins on price and value — undercutting Senyum’s entry by roughly RM100,000 with a planned dedicated shuttle to bridge the ~3 km gap. If absolute walk-to-RTS distance is your single priority, Senyum has the edge; if total cost of entry, freehold value and a mature township matter more, Maxim is the stronger buy.
