Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Meridian Garden
A very small landed enclave in central Damai. Here is the case, and what to weigh.
Hospitals and malls next door
The listing puts QE2 Hospital, KPJ hospital and City Mall each within about 0.5 km.
Large family houses
Each house has 4+1 bedrooms and 5+1 bathrooms over three storeys, at about 4,200 sq ft.
Low density
Only nine houses in the scheme, close to Lintas Square, Sabah Golf and Country Club and the Rainforest Park.
What to weigh: price and resale pool
At RM2.6 million and up, the pool of buyers is small, and with nine houses there are no recorded sales or live listings to compare. Today’s value against the list price is unknown.

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 4,201 to 4,254 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.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Landed homes: check the land title, the facing, and whether the house has had extensions that need approved plans.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

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.
