Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Vista Komanwel
Large, freehold units at a modest price per square foot next to the Bukit Jalil sports belt. Here is the case, and what to check.
Big units for the price
Typical units run to about 1,200 sq ft or more with 3 bedrooms, and EdgeProp’s recorded medians over the last 48 months are RM356 psf for section A and RM333 psf for section B.
Steady student and family demand
IMU University is about 350 m away (iProperty), and The Edge Malaysia (October 2025) notes that many residents are students of IMU University and Asia Pacific University.
Next to the stadium and parks
iProperty puts Bukit Komanwel Park about 1 km and the National Stadium about 1.4 km away, with Pavilion Bukit Jalil about 3.6 km.
What to weigh: a 1998 building
The blocks are more than 25 years old, so check lifts, plumbing, the sinking fund and any repair levies. Records on block heights and unit counts differ between portals, so confirm the block and floor of any unit against its strata title.

The recorded numbers
What units here sell and rent for
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted median, section A | RM356 psf (middle range RM332–396 psf), last 48 months | EdgeProp project page, Oct 2026 |
| Transacted median, section B | RM333 psf (middle range RM289–363 psf), last 48 months | EdgeProp project page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking for sale, section A | RM380,000 – RM980,000 · about RM267–424 psf | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking for sale, section B | RM438,000 – RM680,000 · about RM269–472 psf | PropertyGuru listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole unit, 3 bedrooms | RM1,700 – RM2,200 a month | iProperty listings (section B), Jun–Aug 2026 |
The transacted rows are EdgeProp’s medians of recorded sales over the 48 months to October 2026, shown separately for sections A and B; EdgeProp gives implied gross yields of about 4.7% (A) and 5.5% (B). The asking sale ranges are from PropertyGuru listings seen in October 2026; the top of the section A range is a larger unit. The asking rent is for whole 3-bedroom units on iProperty from June to August 2026; small units and rooms were also offered from about RM550 a month and are left out. Ask Jason for recorded sales 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 1,200 to 2,885 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.
- ⚠️ An older building (completed 1998). Check the lifts, plumbing, sinking fund balance and any repairs the management has planned.
- ⚠️ 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.
