Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Aster Court
Freehold space near the city malls at a modest price. Here is the case, and the catch.
Freehold and roomy
All four portals record freehold tenure, and typical units are 850 sq ft or more, larger than most newer studios nearby.
Next to the malls
DurianProperty puts Danga City Mall about 0.6 km away, with KSL City Mall and Plaza Pelangi also close.
Full older-style facilities
Listings mention a pool, tennis and squash courts, a gym, sauna and a minimart.
What to weigh: a 2000-era building
At about 26 years old, check the condition of lifts, pipes and common areas, and ask the management about any planned upgrade works and the sinking fund.

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.
- ⚠️ An older building (completed 2000). Check the lifts, plumbing, sinking fund balance and any repairs the management has planned.
- ⚠️ 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.

What buying here costs in 2026

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
The portals do not publish a unit count. DurianProperty gives 1- to 3-bedroom layouts of about 850 to 1,250 sq ft, and October 2026 listings on Mudah ran from 872 to 1,022 sq ft.
Is Aster Court freehold?
Yes. iProperty, PropertyGuru, Mudah and DurianProperty all record freehold tenure.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs a purchase price of RM1 million or more (the state minimum can vary by area and property type), must obtain state consent from the Johor Land and Mines Office, and cannot buy Bumiputera lots, low-cost or affordable units, Malay Reserve land or single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces. Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. Johor also charges foreign buyers a consent levy of 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher (since 1 July 2025). Asking prices seen in October 2026 ran from about RM370,000 to RM500,000, so no units currently meet the RM1 million line.

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.
