Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at The Potpourri
A low-rise, low-density address near the LRT. Here is the case, and the catch.
LRT within walking range
PropertyGuru puts Ara Damansara LRT station about 800 metres away, with CITTA Mall and schools close by.
Low-rise blocks
743 units are spread over eight blocks of 13 to 15 storeys on 7.14 acres, rather than one or two tall towers.
Three facility zones
Facilities are grouped into fitness, family and wellness zones, with a 50 m lap pool, tennis court, sauna, sky lounges and a clubhouse.
What to weigh: two very different blocks
Lifestyle Block units start at 525 sq ft and draw tenants; Family Block units run up to 2,440 sq ft. Prices, rents and resale buyers differ a lot between them, so compare like with like. EdgeProp’s recorded median is RM860 psf.
The development
The Potpourri, decoded

The recorded numbers
The price numbers
Recorded sales and asking prices are different things. Transacted figures come from deals recorded with the government valuation department; asking figures are what owners or the developer are listing at.
| Measure | Figure | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted price median, last 48 months | RM860 psf · typical RM841–898 psf | EdgeProp, viewed 5 Oct 2026 |
| Launch price 2015 | RM557,800–2.50m · about RM800 psf | PropertyGuru launch review, Nov 2015 |
| Asking price for sale | From about RM599,000 · about RM656–1,141 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | About RM2,400 (studio) to RM3,500 (2 bed); about RM5,400 for 1,344 sq ft | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
Transacted figures are recorded sales from EdgeProp; the other rows are asking or launch prices. EdgeProp’s implied gross yield is about 4.7%. EdgeProp’s all-time record includes a sale at RM2,370 psf in December 2020 that is far outside the usual range; treat it as an outlier.

Is it for you?
Which kind of buyer are you?
The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.
🏠 Living here yourself
Layouts here run from about 525 to 1,848 sq ft. Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.
💰 Buying to rent out
Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.
👨👩👧 Family with children
Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.
✈️ Buying from overseas
Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.
Straight talk
What I will not hide from you
Every project has trade-offs. These are the ones I would want to know before paying a deposit.
- ⚠️ A newer project, so many owners are renting out at the same time. Expect competition for tenants for the first few years.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
How many units and what sizes?
743 units: 578 in the Lifestyle blocks (525–2,213 sq ft) and 165 in the Family blocks (713–2,440 sq ft).
Is The Potpourri freehold?
No. It is leasehold on commercial-titled land, according to the PropertyGuru launch review and StarProperty.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Selangor’s Zone 1 (Petaling, Gombak, Hulu Langat, Sepang and Klang districts) a foreigner may buy only a strata or landed-strata home priced at RM2 million or more, with State Authority consent from the Selangor Land and Mines Office (PTG Selangor) under section 433B of the National Land Code. Bumiputera-quota and low-cost units are excluded. Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. Most units here sell well below RM2 million, so they are not open to foreign buyers; only the largest Family block units could reach that price. The land is commercial-titled, so ask your lawyer which threshold applies.
How much does it rent for?
PropertyGuru listings in October 2026 ask about RM2,400 for a 525 sq ft studio, RM2,700–3,500 for 2-bedroom units and about RM5,400 for a 1,344 sq ft unit.

I work with local families, investors and buyers from Singapore and overseas. If a project is not right for what you need, I will say so; that is usually worth more than the brochure.
