Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Sunway Serene
Lake and golf views in central PJ. Here is the case, and the catch.
Lake and golf course outlook
The towers overlook a 15-acre lake with a 1.2 km jogging path and sit next to a 36-hole golf course, according to Sunway Property.
A large facility deck
Sunway lists more than 50 facilities, including an Olympic-length pool, a 210 m lazy river, a sky gym and a 24-hour care centre supported by Sunway Medical Centre.
Family-sized layouts
Every unit has at least two bedrooms, from 892 sq ft, and the largest 1,788 sq ft units are either the 4+1-bedroom Type G or the dual-key Type H ‘Sky Villa’.
What to weigh: big supply, no rail at the door
With 894 units, many similar units compete for buyers and tenants. The launch review describes Kelana Jaya LRT as a drive down the LDP rather than a walk. EdgeProp’s recorded median is RM1,034 psf; use it, not asking prices, for your offer.

Two towers on a 17-acre site, with ten units a floor and seven lifts (PropertyGuru launch review). The review gives 46 storeys; the developer’s 2023 brochure says up to 52 levels, so records differ.

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 | RM1,034 psf · typical RM986–1,060 psf | EdgeProp, viewed 5 Oct 2026 |
| Launch price 2018 | From about RM732,000 · from about RM820 psf | PropertyGuru launch review |
| Asking price for sale | From about RM730,000 · about RM749–1,412 psf | PropertyGuru building page, Oct 2026 |
| Asking rent whole units | From about RM1,500–1,800 a month | PropertyGuru and iProperty building pages, Oct 2026 |
Transacted figures are recorded sales from EdgeProp; the other rows are asking or launch prices. EdgeProp’s implied gross yield is about 4.7%. Properly gives the launch price as from RM782,000, 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
Layouts here run from about 892 to 1,788 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 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.
- ⚠️ Leasehold title. Check how many years remain on the lease; banks lend less, and buyers pay less, as the lease gets shorter.
- ⚠️ Serviced apartments usually sit on commercial land. Utility tariffs and some loan terms can be less favourable than for a residential title.
- ⚠️ 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 and what sizes?
894 units in two towers (452 and 442 units), from 892 sq ft with 2 bedrooms to 1,788 sq ft units: the 4+1-bedroom Type G or the dual-key Type H ‘Sky Villa’. The launch review gives 46 storeys; the developer’s brochure says up to 52 levels.
Is Sunway Serene freehold?
No. It is leasehold on commercial land, sold under the Housing Development Act, according to the PropertyGuru launch review.
Can a foreigner buy here?

Bumiputera-quota and low-cost units are excluded. Stamp duty on the transfer of a home is a flat 8% for foreign buyers from 1 January 2026. Asking prices here are below RM2 million, so units are generally not open to foreign buyers. The land is commercial-titled, so ask your lawyer which threshold applies.

Portal building pages list whole units from about RM1,500 (PropertyGuru) to RM1,800 (iProperty) a month in October 2026; larger units ask more.
