Question 1

Which new condos in KL are low-density?

Accepted Answer

Eight launches on this site are built to 300 homes or fewer: Stellar Damansara (88), 111 Menerung (111), The Eden @ Kenny Hills (146), Aetas Taman Desa (217), Accent Residences (231), Daya Residence (260), Enlace Suites 2 (290) and Orion Residence (298). Each is listed on this page with its total home count, price and location.

Question 2

What counts as a low-density condominium?

Accepted Answer

There is no legal definition, so the number to ask for is the total home count in the development. This page draws the line at 300 homes or fewer, which is roughly a quarter of what a mass-market Klang Valley tower carries — several launches on this site run past 1,200 homes. The other figure worth asking for is how many homes sit on each floor: two at Stellar Damansara, four at Aetas Taman Desa, eight at Accent Residences, against twenty or more in a high-density tower.

Question 3

Why does the number of units in a condo matter?

Accepted Answer

Because almost everything shared is sized against it. Lift waiting times, the queue at the gym on a weekday evening, whether the pool is usable on a Sunday, how long you sit at the car park ramp, how many strangers hold an access card to your lobby, and how contested the annual general meeting gets. A well-run 1,000-home building can beat a badly run 200-home one, but the smaller building starts with less to go wrong.

Question 4

Is maintenance higher in a low-density condo?

Accepted Answer

Not automatically, and our own list shows why: of the projects here that publish a rate, Daya Residence charges RM0.28 per square foot a month, 111 Menerung RM0.95 and Orion Residence RM1.32. The rate follows what the building has to run — a city-centre tower with a concierge and sky facilities costs more per foot than a suburban development with a pool and a gym, whatever the home count. What is true is that fewer homes share each fixed cost, so a low-density development with resort-scale facilities can carry a high rate. Ask for the rate and what it includes, and check whether the sinking fund sits inside it or is billed on top.

Question 5

Do low-density condos cost more per square foot?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. Fewer homes on the same site means less to sell against the same land cost, and developers who build at this density are generally targeting owner-occupiers rather than investors, with larger layouts and higher specification to match. The entry prices on this page start at RM631,800 and run past RM7 million, and several of these projects have no home under 2,000 sq ft — so the gap is partly density and partly that you are buying a much bigger home.

Question 6

Are low-density condos easier to sell later?

Accepted Answer

They tend to compete against less. In a 1,300-home tower, dozens of near-identical units can be listed at once and the cheapest one sets your price. In a building of 100 or 200 homes with four or five layouts, there may be two or three comparable listings in a year. The trade-off is a smaller pool of buyers who can afford the larger layouts, so it is a narrower market on both sides rather than an easier one.
