Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Sakura Residence
A rare Japanese-built landed enclave in Sunway City. Here is the case, and the catch.
Japanese design and prefab build
Sunway and Daiwa House used prefabricated construction, with thermal and sound insulation, insect screens and child-safe doors listed by the developer.
Small and gated
About 100 homes on a 13-acre gated site, with a clubhouse, Sakura lounge and pool, and patrols by township auxiliary police.
Schools close by
Sunway’s page puts SJK(C) Cheah Fah about 350 m away and X Park Sunway Iskandar about 900 m away.
What to weigh: thin market and tenure
Few homes change hands, asking prices start around RM2.25 million, and sources disagree on tenure. Confirm tenure on the title and ask for recent sale records before you 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Developer price phase 1, now sold out | From RM2.4 million | Sunway Property project page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price for sale, about 22 listings | From about RM2.25 million · RM656–883 psf | PropertyGuru project page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price resale listings | About RM2.34–2.68 million | EdgeProp article, Sep 2026 |
| Asking rent whole houses | About RM8,000–13,000 a month | PropertyGuru project details, Oct 2026 |
The developer row is Sunway’s listed price for the sold-out first phase. Other rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru (October 2026) and reported by EdgeProp (September 2026), not transactions; PropertyGuru showed no live rental listings when checked. Transacted figures could not be checked for this page.

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 3,274 to 3,284 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.

What buying here costs in 2026

Frequently asked questions
How many homes are there and what sizes?
EdgeProp and PropertyGuru give about 100 homes: semi-detached units of about 3,190–3,284 sq ft on 39 × 75 ft lots and bungalows of about 3,862–3,903 sq ft on 53 × 81 ft lots. Sunway’s phase 1 page lists 39 units, so records differ.
Is Sakura Residence freehold?
Records differ. Sunway’s project page says freehold, while PropertyGuru records 99-year leasehold. Check the title before you buy.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs to pay at least RM1 million for a residential property, with Johor state consent. 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 Sakura Residence start around RM2.25 million, so homes here are above RM1 million and could qualify, provided the lot is not a Bumiputera lot.
How much does a house rent for?
PropertyGuru’s project details in October 2026 gave asking rents of about RM8,000 to RM13,000 a month, though no live rental listings were shown at the time.

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.
