Why this address

Four things buyers weigh at Desa Green

A large, freehold, family-sized serviced apartment scheme at a mid-market price. Here is the case, and what to check.

🏷️

Freehold at a mid-market price

Asking prices in early October 2026 ran from about RM307,000 to RM630,000, with 3-bedroom units of 935 to 945 sq ft mostly listed at about RM500,000 to RM630,000.

🔑

Steady rental demand

iProperty showed about 66 units for rent in October 2026, mostly asking RM1,700 to RM2,500 a month, and EdgeProp estimates a gross yield of about 5.5%.

🏊

Pools and family facilities

UOA lists a main lap pool, a leisure pool, a wading pool, a gym, a playground, a multipurpose hall, an open terrace and a sauna.

⚖️

What to weigh: scale and supply

With 1,388 units, more than 100 were listed for sale on PropertyGuru in October 2026, so expect competition when you resell or let. EdgeProp’s recorded median of RM590 psf is a better guide than the highest asking prices.

The recorded numbers

What units here sell and rent for

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.

The transacted row is EdgeProp’s median of recorded sales over the 48 months to October 2026; EdgeProp’s implied gross yield is about 5.5%. The asking sale range is from PropertyGuru listings dated 1 to 4 October 2026, and the asking rents from iProperty listings dated late September to early October 2026.

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 578 to 945 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.
  • ⚠️ 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.
