Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Palm Garden Condominium
Large freehold homes in a quiet block close to town. Here is the case, and the catch.
Very large layouts
Every layout is at least 1,820 sq ft, and the biggest is 2,600 sq ft with 4+1 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms (StarProperty).
Low density
StarProperty describes a single low-density block, which means fewer neighbours sharing the pool and lifts.
Close to town
StarProperty notes the Inner Ring Road and Jalan Tun Abdul Razak nearby, with City Square, KSL City and Plaza Pelangi within reach.
What to weigh: very few listings
Only a handful of units are on the market, and the four PropertyGuru sale listings in September 2026 all asked RM750,000 for the 2,600 sq ft layout, likely the same unit. With little to compare, have an independent valuation done before you 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 2,600 sq ft, 4 listings | RM750,000 · about RM288 psf | PropertyGuru, Sept 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM3,500 a month | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
No recorded transaction median could be read for this small block in October 2026. Both rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in September and October 2026, not transactions; the four sale listings were identical and may be one unit.

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 1,820 to 2,600 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 (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.
- ⚠️ 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.
- ⚠️ 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.

Frequently asked questions
How many units are there and what sizes?
The unit count is not published. StarProperty lists three layouts in one block: a 1,820 sq ft 3-bedroom, a 2,070 sq ft 4-bedroom and a 2,600 sq ft 4+1-bedroom unit.
Is Palm Garden Condominium freehold?
Yes. StarProperty and PropertyGuru 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). The asking prices seen in September 2026 were RM750,000, so no units currently meet the RM1 million line; a unit would need to be priced at RM1 million or more to qualify.
How much does a unit rent for?
PropertyGuru shows asking rents from about RM3,500 a month in October 2026, reflecting the large unit sizes.

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.
