Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Epic Residence
An affordable IJM Land address with a mix of small and family units. Here is the case, and the catch.
Low entry price
iProperty sale listings in October 2026 started from about RM230,000 for 1-bedroom units of 549 sq ft.
Mostly family layouts
Most units for sale were 3-bedroom types of about 1,162 to 1,195 sq ft, per iProperty and myRumahBaru.
Full facilities
Listings mention a pool, gym, sauna, yoga room, jogging track, childcare centre and prayer rooms.
What to weigh: supply and tenure
With 1,054 units and dozens of listings, resale competition is high, and the land is leasehold. Compare like-for-like units and check the remaining lease.

The recorded numbers
The price numbers

| Asking rent whole units | About RM2,000–2,500 a month | iProperty, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent rooms | About RM700–950 a month | iProperty, Oct 2026 |

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 549 to 1,280 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.
- ⚠️ A newer project, so many owners are renting out at the same time. Expect competition for tenants for the first few years.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ 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.

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.
