Why this address

Four things buyers weigh at Topaz Residenz

One of the newer gated terrace schemes in Seri Alam. Here is the case, and the catch.

🏠

Newer, larger terraces

Both layouts are over 2,150 sq ft with 4+1 bedrooms and five bathrooms, on lots of 24 × 70 ft or 24 × 75 ft.

🔒

Gated and guarded

PropertyGuru describes a gated and guarded community with a children’s playground.

🛣️

Highway links

The Iskandarian notes access via the Southern Link and the Eastern Dispersal Link.

⚖️

What to weigh: very few listings

PropertyGuru showed just two homes for sale and one for rent in October 2026, so prices are hard to benchmark. Ask for recorded transactions before you 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

Layouts here run from about 2,152 to 2,177 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.
  • ⚠️ 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.

The real cost

Frequently asked questions

How many homes are there and what sizes?

There are 258 double-storey terraces: 108 in Section 1 and 150 in Section 2. Both sections use two layouts, Type A of 2,152 sq ft and Type B of 2,177 sq ft, each with 4+1 bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Can a foreigner buy here?

In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million per residential property, with state consent.

Bumiputera lots, low-cost and affordable units, Malay Reserve land and single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces are closed to foreigners. PropertyGuru asking prices at Topaz Residenz start around RM899,000 at RM418–436 psf, which puts even the larger layout just under RM1 million, so foreign buyers are generally not eligible here.

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.
