Question 1

Is Ara Residences freehold or leasehold?

Accepted Answer

Ara Residences is leasehold, with the lease running from 2025 to 2124, so a new lease term of roughly 99 years. That is a fresh lease, but factor the leasehold status into your long-term resale expectations.

Question 2

Is there an LRT station near Ara Residences?

Accepted Answer

No rail station is recorded within the listing's radius, and the project's own description puts LRT Puchong Perdana about 1.5km away, which is not walking distance for most people. The developer sweetens this with a dedicated shuttle service to the station, but a shuttle is an operational arrangement, not a permanent fixture, so confirm its schedule and how long it is committed to run.

Question 3

How much do units at Ara Residences cost and what sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Ara Residences is priced from RM 465,000 to RM 795,000 for units of 750 to 1,495 sqft with 3 to 4 bedrooms, across seven layouts from a 750 sqft 3-bedroom to a 1,495 sqft 4-bedroom. It is a serviced apartment of 639 units and Phase 1 of the 53-acre Puchong Horizon township.

Question 4

How much per month would a unit at Ara Residences cost me?

Accepted Answer

The estimated instalment starts from about RM 1,929 per month for the cheapest unit, based on a 90% loan over 35 years at roughly 4.3% interest. Your actual figure depends on your loan profile, so add maintenance on top and check the total against your monthly budget before booking.

Question 5

Who is the developer of Ara Residences and are they reliable?

Accepted Answer

The developer is Hua Yang Berhad, an established name positioned in the affordable-housing segment. The project's own honest view sets expectations accordingly: expect practical, standard finishings rather than luxury specs, and verify by visiting their completed projects to judge workmanship yourself. The sale is under HDA Schedule H, which gives buyers the standard statutory protections.

Question 6

Is Ara Residences completed or still under construction?

Accepted Answer

The project description gives an estimated completion of end 2029, with a recorded construction period of 48 months; the listing's completion field itself is blank, so confirm the contractual VP date with the developer. Also note the project's own caution: as Phase 1 of a 53-acre masterplan, you will likely live next to active construction for years as future phases are built.

Question 7

What are the maintenance fees at Ara Residences?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance is RM 0.35 per sqft, excluding the 10% sinking fund contribution, which is charged on top. Work out the total for your actual unit size, and remember serviced apartments can carry commercial utility treatment, so confirm the tariff position with the developer.

Question 8

Is Ara Residences a good buy and who is it best suited to?

Accepted Answer

Its genuine strengths are the lifestyle package and entry point: a large 2.84-acre facility podium, pet-friendly rules that are rare in Puchong high-rises, and Phase 1 pricing in a 53-acre masterplan, which suits first-time buyers, young families and pet owners. The honest cautions: expect years of construction dust and noise next door as later phases build out, and the immediate surroundings still feature older kampung houses and light factories, so the area needs time to mature. First-phase entry pricing is not a guarantee of appreciation, so buy it because the home fits your life, not just the masterplan story.
