Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Nusa Heights
A large freehold apartment scheme near EduCity at a lower price point. Here is the case, and the catch.
Close to EduCity
StarProperty puts the University of Southampton campus about four minutes’ drive away, which supports demand from students and staff.
Freehold at an accessible price
EdgeProp records a median of about RM435 psf over 48 months, with a typical range of RM379–470 psf.
An active rental market
PropertyGuru showed about 74 units for rent and 51 for sale in October 2026, and EdgeProp puts the implied gross yield near 6.4%.
What to weigh: build quality and records
StarProperty’s review raised concerns about the quality of materials used by the developer, and portals disagree on the developer name and completion year. Inspect the unit carefully and check the title.

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 | RM435 psf · typical RM379–470 psf | EdgeProp, viewed Oct 2026 |
| Launch price at launch | Studio from RM290,000 · 3-bedroom from RM400,000 | StarProperty property review |
| Asking price for sale, all sizes | About RM229,000–850,000 · RM379–843 psf | PropertyGuru building page, 51 listings, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | About RM1,400–2,200 a month | PropertyGuru, 74 listings, Oct 2026 |
The transacted row is EdgeProp’s record of completed sales over 48 months; EdgeProp puts the implied gross yield at about 6.36%. The sale and rent rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru 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
Layouts here run from about 510 to 2,471 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.
- ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
- ⚠️ 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.
The real cost
What buying here costs in 2026

Estimates only. Stamp duty: 1–4% tiers for Malaysians and PRs, 8% flat for foreigners from 1 Jan 2026. Legal fees follow the Solicitors’ Remuneration Order 2023. First-time Malaysian buyers of homes up to RM500,000 may get a stamp duty exemption until 2027. Valuation, disbursements and moving costs are not included.

Can a foreigner buy 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.
