Jason’s take
Landed homes by a 20-acre lake park, about 350 m from Sunway International School, finished and lived in. Entry is from about RM1.3 million and the lease runs to 2141, so factor state consent into your timeline.

Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Sunway Emerald Residence
A completed, gated landed estate in Sunway City beside a lake park. Here is the case, and the catch.
Beside a 20-acre lake park
Emerald Lake Garden is about 150 m away, and Sunway International School about 350 m.
A private clubhouse
Pool, gym, community hall, viewing deck and BBQ area, gated and guarded with CCTV, auxiliary police patrols and intercom.
Completed and lived in
Vacant possession was in Q4 2018, so you can view finished homes, and many are rented out.
What to weigh: the lease and the price
The tenure is leasehold to 2141, and transfers of leasehold land in Johor usually need state consent. Entry starts at about RM1.3 million per the developer.

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 link and cluster | From about RM1.3 million | Developer’s fact sheet |
| Developer price semi-detached | From RM2.4 million (RM2.5 million on sunwayproperty.com) | Developer, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price listing portals | From about RM1.41 million | StarProperty, Oct 2026 |
| Asking price per sq ft listing portals, 34 listings | About RM541 – RM966 psf | PropertyGuru, Oct 2026 |
Listing prices are asking prices, not transactions. Ask Jason for recent transactions.
Completed project
Buying, selling or renting at Sunway Emerald Residence
Sunway Emerald Residence was completed in 2018, so homes here are bought and sold on the subsale market and many are rented out. Asking prices on property portals are not what buyers actually paid. Recorded transaction prices are published in the NAPIC open transaction data, and Jason can pull recent transactions for the home type you are interested in.
- Leasehold. Check the remaining lease. Transfers of leasehold land in Johor usually need state consent, which adds time to completion.
- Arrears and condition. Ask for recent quit rent and assessment receipts, any guarded-community fee statement, and check for defects or extensions without approval.
- Tenanted or vacant? A tenanted home gives rental income from day one, but the tenancy may continue after the sale.
- Foreign buyers. A subsale home must still meet Johor’s minimum price for foreigners (generally RM1 million) and needs state consent; stamp duty for foreigners buying a home is 8% from 2026, and Johor’s consent levy is 3% of the price or RM30,000, whichever is higher.
Owners get a free valuation or rental estimate. Buyers and tenants get recent transacted prices and available homes. Jason replies on WhatsApp.

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 1,919 to 4,192 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.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ 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.
