actually seri austin is a quite good location, nearby there is few projects to develop the area, such as Setia Eco Cascadis, Eco Spring / Summer, Glenmarie Johor, IJM..
Future roads - If I'm not wrong, there will have highway connect to Desary Highway and Senai in future.
Shopping Malls - Nearby there is Jusco Tebrau, Tesco, in future, might have Ikea & according to the developer of Seri Austin, there might build a shopping mall in future.
Eat - You need to go to Setia Indah / Mount Austin as more choice to choose.
