Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Puteri Cove Residences
A freehold marina address in Puteri Harbour, with a deep rental market. Here is the case, and the catch.
Freehold, with many layouts
PropertyGuru lists one-, two- and three-bedroom units, dual-key options and four-bedroom penthouses in the same project.
A marina-side address
The project sits at Puteri Harbour, the waterfront district of Iskandar Puteri, off Persiaran Tanjung.
Resort-style shared facilities
Tennis courts, a basketball court, a sky lounge, a jacuzzi and a gymnasium are among the facilities PropertyGuru lists.
What to weigh: a large, busy resale pool
PropertyGuru shows 86 units for sale and 231 for rent, and iProperty shows 64 and 186, so records differ on the count. With that many units on offer, compare like-for-like sizes before you make an 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | From RM379,000 | PropertyGuru and iProperty building pages, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM1,450 (PropertyGuru) or RM2,500 (iProperty) a month | PropertyGuru and iProperty building pages, Oct 2026; records differ |
Both rows are asking figures from portal building pages seen in October 2026, not transactions. No transacted median could be read for this project, so check recorded prices for your size before you make an offer.

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
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 (RM1 million in Johor) 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.
- ⚠️ Most asking prices here are below RM1 million, so most units cannot be sold to foreigners in Johor. On resale, your buyers will mainly be locals.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.
The real cost
What buying here costs in 2026

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
PropertyGuru and iProperty record 1,054 residential units. PropertyGuru lists one-, two- and three-bedroom units, dual-key layouts and four-bedroom penthouses in three 32-storey blocks; iProperty gives about 645 sq ft for the smallest one-bedroom.
Is Puteri Cove Residences freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru and iProperty both record freehold tenure.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million for a residential property, with Johor state consent. Since 1 July 2025 Johor charges foreign buyers a consent levy of 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher, and stamp duty on transfers to foreigners is a flat 8% from 1 January 2026. Bumiputera lots, low-cost and affordable units, Malay Reserve land and single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces are closed to foreigners. Asking prices at Puteri Cove Residences start at RM379,000, so only larger units and penthouses priced at RM1 million or more could qualify, and only if the unit is not on a Bumiputera lot.
How much does a unit rent for?
PropertyGuru shows rents from about RM1,450 a month and iProperty from about RM2,500, so records differ; the figure depends on size and furnishing. Both are asking rents seen in October 2026.

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.
