PJ condo prices in 2026: what buyers actually paid in Petaling Jaya, building by building

A typical Petaling Jaya condo sold for about RM501 per square foot since 2024, so a 900 square foot unit cost roughly RM451,000. Pantai Hillpark and the Section 5 blocks are the cheap end; Atwater, PJ Midtown and Ryan & Miho are the expensive end.

The straight answer

Say you have around RM500,000 and want a condo in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. That is the middle of the market, which here means an older, larger unit. A typical PJ condo has sold for about RM501 per square foot since 2024. Per square foot simply means the price for each square foot of floor space, so a normal 900 square foot home costs roughly RM451,000. Treat that as a rough guide, not a quote. The cheapest building that sells often is Pantai Hillpark Apartment, at about RM391 per square foot. The most expensive is Atwater at RM969, then Kondominium Pantai Estet at RM968 and PJ Midtown at RM926. The honest catch: RM500,000 buys a 20-year-old block with lifts and pipes near replacement age, and newer towers give only 700 square feet for RM690,000, so if you want new and spacious, PJ is not the place. Based on official records of completed home sales from 2024 onward within about 3 km of the PJ centre, compiled by Affirm Plus Research.

Which PJ buildings sold the most since 2024, and for how much?

The 20 buildings below are the ones that sold the most since 2024 within about 3 km of the PJ centre, out of 28 buildings that had at least 8 sales. Each price is the typical sale in that building, so one unusual deal does not skew it. Rent is shown only where we saw at least 5 rental agreements since 2024, and the rental return is a year of that rent divided by the price, before maintenance fees, tax or empty months, shown only where we are confident in it. A dash means we did not have enough data to say.

Read the number of sales as a sign of how easy the building is to buy into and, later, sell out of. Sixty to a hundred sales in under three years means plenty of buyers; fifteen means fewer recent sales to compare against, so a bank valuation (the bank's own estimate of what the home is worth) is harder to predict there; see when the valuation comes in lower than the price.

What does the price spread in PJ mean for a buyer?

The cheap end of PJ is the 2000-era stock on the Pantai fringe and in Section 5. Pantai Hillpark Apartment typically sold for RM391 per square foot (typical price RM475,000 for 1,044 square feet) and was by far the most-traded building in the area with 89 deals. Fraser Tower in Section 5 came in at RM393 per square foot (RM635,000, 1,550 square feet), Vista Angkasa Apartment RM396 per square foot (RM330,000, the lowest total price in the table), Cameron Tower RM402 per square foot (RM600,000) and Residency @ Park 51 RM402 per square foot (RM435,000). Millennium Place in Section 14 (RM426 per square foot, RM424,000) and Pantai Panorama (RM443 per square foot, RM492,000) are just above. The pattern is clear: RM450,000 to RM650,000 buys 1,000 to 1,550 square feet here, in blocks that are 20 years old.

The expensive end is the newer small-unit towers built after 2015, plus one luxury block in Pantai. Atwater @ Petaling Jaya typically sold for RM969 per square foot (RM690,000 for 700 square feet), Kondominium Pantai Estet RM968 per square foot (RM2,895,000, a 3,132 square feet luxury block), PJ Midtown RM926 per square foot (RM775,000), Residensi Ryan & Miho RM889 per square foot (RM720,000 for 818 square feet), Residensi Seventeen RM856 per square foot (RM712,000) and Five Stone in SS2 RM827 per square foot (RM1,698,000 for 2,250 square feet). Pacific Star, first sold in 2022, sits at RM722 per square foot but only RM450,000 because units are 617 square feet.

The middle band, RM480 to RM760 per square foot, is old PJ proper: Southview Residence (RM757 per square foot, RM620,000), Ameera Residence in SS2 (RM722 per square foot, RM1,150,000), Li Villas in Section 16 (RM623 per square foot, RM1,038,000), The Park Residence (RM585 per square foot, RM1,180,000, 2,077 square feet), Prima Sixteen (RM486 per square foot, RM755,000, 1,421 square feet) and Kondo Villa Pantai (RM509 per square foot, RM735,000). The practical read: in PJ the same RM700,000 buys 700 square feet in a 2018 tower, or 1,400 square feet in a 2004 to 2012 block in Section 16. On rent, Southview and Ryan & Miho yield 5.0% gross, Pantai Panorama 4.6%, Pantai Hillpark 4.5% (yield means a year of rent divided by the price, before costs). Tenure is genuinely mixed here: Pantai Hillpark, Vista Angkasa and the Sections 51 and 52 blocks are leasehold (the land is on a long lease from the state, usually 99 years), while SS2 and Sections 5 and 16 are freehold (you own your share of the land outright). See freehold vs leasehold.

Which new launches in PJ are on our list, and how do their prices compare?

We list 6 new condo projects in PJ that are still selling. The "from RM" figure is the developer's fixed price for the smallest unit type, after any package or rebate, exactly as shown on our project page. Every buyer of that unit type pays the same, so there is no discount to chase. Train station distances are shown only where our project page records them.

Do not compare these from-prices with the resale prices above. They are two different things. The resale prices are what buyers actually paid for finished homes in buildings whose age and condition are known. The from-price is a fixed package for a home that is not built yet, and it is the smallest layout in the block, not a typical one. How to read a new-launch price list is in new launch price list explained, and the honest trade between the two routes is in new launch vs subsale. The full PJ listing is at our PJ project page.

Where is the data from and what does it not cover?

Data compiled by Affirm Plus Research from official records of completed condo and apartment sales and rentals in the Klang Valley from 2024 onward, as at September 2026. What that means in practice:

  • Typical sale prices, not asking prices. Every number is what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped for. Statisticians call this the median: the middle sale when all sales are lined up from cheapest to dearest.
  • 2024 onward only. Older sales are left out so the figures describe today's market, not the 2019 one.
  • Only buildings with 8 or more sales since 2024 are listed, and rent only with 5 or more rental agreements. Quiet buildings are not in the table, which is why some names you know are missing.
  • A circle on the map. "PJ" here means within about 3 km of a fixed centre point, not the postal area or any developer's marketing boundary. 28 buildings met all the tests; the table shows the 20 that sold the most.
  • Low-cost and PPR (government low-cost flat) schemes are left out, so the cheap end of the table is the cheapest open-market home, not the cheapest housing in PJ.
  • Not a valuation. A typical price for a building tells you the middle of recent sales there; your unit's floor, view, renovation and the day's market can put it well above or below. A bank valuer looks at specific recent sales, and the subsale buying steps explain where that sits in the process.

Frequently asked questions

What is the average condo price per square foot in Petaling Jaya?

We use the typical sale in each building, not the average. Across 28 buildings with registered sales since 2024, a typical building sold for RM501 per square foot, and most buildings fall between RM425 and RM731 per square foot (Affirm Plus Research, within about 3 km of the PJ centre).

What can I buy in PJ for RM500,000?

Going by typical prices, Pantai Hillpark Apartment (typical price RM475,000, 1,044 square feet), Pantai Panorama (RM492,000), Kerinchi Residensi (RM445,000), Residency @ Park 51 (RM435,000), Millennium Place (RM424,000), Pacific Star (RM450,000, 617 square feet) and Vista Angkasa (RM330,000). Among our new launches, Pinnacle Ara Damansara starts from RM370,000 and New Urban from RM396,501; a from-price is the smallest layout, not a typical unit.

Which PJ condos give the best rental yield?

Where we had enough tenancies: Kerinchi Residensi 7.0% and Residensi Pantai Sentral 2 6.3% (both on small samples), Southview Residence 5.0%, Residensi Ryan & Miho 5.0%, Pantai Panorama 4.6%, Pantai Hillpark 4.5%, Residency @ Park 51 4.4%. Gross figures; see rental yield explained.

Does this table cover Damansara, Kelana Jaya and Ara Damansara?

No. The 3 km radius from the PJ centre covers old PJ, SS2 and the Pantai fringe. Our new-launch table does include Kelana Jaya and Ara Damansara projects because our listing files them under Petaling Jaya, so treat the two tables as overlapping but not identical areas. Damansara has its own guide: is Damansara worth buying.

Is Petaling Jaya worth buying at all?

Price is only half the answer. Is Petaling Jaya worth buying goes through the sections, the LRT, the ageing stock and who should not buy here.

What this article is - and is not

Resale figures are typical (median) prices from official records of completed sales from 2024 onward within a fixed circle, compiled by Affirm Plus Research; new-launch prices and land titles are as shown on our project pages in September 2026 and change as phases sell. This is general market information, not a valuation and not financial advice. Whether any PJ project is licensed and on schedule is a fact recorded by KPKT, the housing ministry, and you can check it free at our project check.
