Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at The Peak Vista
A hillside address with sea views, minutes from the city centre. Here is the case, and the catch.
Sea and city views
The towers sit on the slopes of Signal Hill above the city, and many units look out to the sea and the mountains.
Close to town
PropertyGuru measures the long-distance bus and taxi stations at about 2 km, with Suria Sabah and the city centre a short drive away.
Full facilities
Residents have a pool, gym, tennis and squash courts, a café, a multi-purpose hall and 24-hour security.
What to weigh: asking prices sit above most sales
EdgeProp records a 48-month median of RM735 psf (range RM393–767 psf), while some listings ask up to about RM1,023 psf. Use the transacted figure for your offer.

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 | RM735 psf · range RM393–767 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale (15 listings) | RM850,000–5.41m · about RM600–1,023 psf | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price 3 bedrooms | Average about RM1.45m | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent 3 to 5 bedrooms | About RM3,500–7,000 a month (1,288 sq ft from RM3,500) | PropertyGuru listings, Aug–Oct 2026 |
Transacted figures are recorded sales on EdgeProp, which estimates a gross yield of about 4.0%. Listing figures are asking prices. EdgeProp’s recorded high of RM1,798 psf (February 2013) is far above other sales and may be 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 1,288 to 2,428 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.
- ⚠️ More than ten years old. Ask for the last AGM minutes and how much maintenance owners still owe; arrears show up as poor upkeep later.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.
