Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Midori Green
A low-rise freehold block at Austin Heights. Here is the case, and the catch.
Low-rise, low-density feel
Four 8-storey blocks with three lifts each, on about 7 acres according to PropertyGenie, which suits buyers who prefer fewer floors.
Freehold, mostly family layouts
Layouts are two- and three-bedroom units from 732 to 1,216 sq ft, so most units suit families rather than studio investors.
Next to Austin Heights
A PropertyGuru review places the project beside the Austin Heights golf and water-park area, with AEON Tebrau City and 8 Avenue a short drive away.
What to weigh: a spread of asking prices
Asking prices run from about RM393 to RM555 psf, against an EdgeProp median of RM445 psf over 48 months. Compare similar sizes and renovation, and use transacted figures for your 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Transacted price median, last 48 months | RM445 psf · typical RM387–496 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Launch price at launch | About RM450 psf | PropertyGuru review |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM360,000–555,000 · RM393–555 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM1,600 a month | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months, with an implied gross yield of about 6.06%; EdgeProp does not state the number of sales. Launch figures come from a PropertyGuru review. Sale and rent rows are asking prices seen in October 2026, not transactions.

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
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.
- ⚠️ 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?
There are 418 units in four 8-storey blocks. Layouts are two- and three-bedroom units from about 732 sq ft to 1,216 sq ft, according to PropertyGuru.
Is Midori Green freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru and PropertyGenie both record freehold tenure.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million per residential property, with state consent from the Johor Land and Mines Office. Since 1 July 2025 Johor charges foreign buyers a consent levy of 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher, and stamp duty on transfers to foreigners is a flat 8% from 1 January 2026. Bumiputera lots, low-cost and affordable units, Malay Reserve land and single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces are closed to foreigners. Asking prices at Midori Green are all below RM1 million (about RM360,000 to RM555,000 on PropertyGuru in October 2026), so a foreign buyer would not normally meet the state minimum here.
How much does a unit rent for?

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.
