Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Straits View 18
A small, low-density block of very large units near the water. Here is the case, and the catch.
Very low density
PropertyGuru records only 47 units, and listings describe a single block with private lift access to some units.
Bungalow-sized apartments
Units run from about 2,990 to 3,650 sq ft, larger than most landed terraces in Johor Bahru.
Above the foreign-buyer line
All sale listings seen in August to October 2026 asked RM2.2 million or more, above Johor’s RM1 million minimum for foreigners.
What to weigh: a thin market
With few units, few sales and no recorded median we could read, pricing is hard to benchmark. Ask for recent transaction records and get a valuation 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Asking price for sale, 10 listings | About RM2.2m–2.98m · RM658–816 psf | PropertyGuru listings, Aug–Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units, 5 listings | About RM6,000–8,000 a month | PropertyGuru listings, Aug–Oct 2026 |
No recorded transaction median from Brickz, EdgeProp or NAPIC could be read in October 2026. Both rows are asking prices seen on PropertyGuru in August to October 2026, not transactions; an older PropertyGuru project record shows a much higher starting figure, so records differ.

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.
- ⚠️ 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?
PropertyGuru records 47 units, with built-up areas of about 2,990 to 3,650 sq ft in 3- and 4-bedroom layouts; some units have private lifts.
Is Straits View 18 freehold?
Yes. PropertyGuru records freehold tenure.
Can a foreigner buy here?
In Johor a foreign buyer generally needs a purchase price of RM1 million or more (the state minimum can vary by area and property type), must obtain state consent from the Johor Land and Mines Office, and cannot buy Bumiputera lots, low-cost or affordable units, Malay Reserve land or single or one-and-a-half-storey terraces. Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. Johor also charges foreign buyers a consent levy of 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher (since 1 July 2025). All sale listings seen in August to October 2026 asked RM2.2 million or more, so units clear the RM1 million line on price, provided the unit is not on a Bumiputera lot and state consent is granted.
How much does a unit rent for?
PropertyGuru listings in August to October 2026 asked about RM6,000 to RM8,000 a month for whole units of 2,990 to 3,650 sq ft.

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.
