The Twin Residences @ Tampoi in 30 seconds
The Twin Residences @ Tampoi is a leasehold condominium in Tampoi, Johor Bahru, Malaysia, developed by JLG Land Berhad (formerly Johor Land Berhad, the property arm of Johor Corporation) and completed in 2016 (housing ministry TEDUH record 8918-14, CCC 20 January 2016). It comprises 2 block(s), 14 storeys and 320 units. Address: Tampoi, Johor Bahru, Johor.
1 layout types (1,129 – 1,135 sq ft per iRumah and iProperty). As at September 2026, resale listings range RM420,000 – RM550,000, with a mid-market level around RM485,000; Whole-unit rents are RM1,450 – RM2,300 a month, a gross yield of 5.0% – 6.0%. Maintenance: about RM0.28–0.29 per sq ft per month — per September 2026 sale listings, cross-checked across three different agents, two layout sizes and both portals; a 1,135 sq ft unit is quoted at RM328 a month and a 1,152 sq ft unit at RM326.70. The listings word it as maintenance & sinking fee, so the sinking fund is included.
Transport position: about 7–9 km from Bukit Chagar RTS station, roughly a 15–20 minute drive
Official median transacted price (historical reference): RM465,000 (406 psf), period 15 November 2024 – 29 October 2025 (10 transactions), source brickz.my (data sourced from NAPIC / JPPH), quartiles RM365,000–499,000. Only 10 transactions, and the figure clearly conflicts with other sources: the current listing ceiling on PropertyGuru is only RM400 psf, while iRumah records a median of about RM340 psf for 3-bedroom units of 1,135 sq ft. In other words, the brickz transacted median sits above most listings, which usually means a handful of high-priced units have found their way into the sample. More concerning is the spread: listings over the same period run from RM242,700 (a 1,281 sq ft auction unit, about RM190 psf) to RM556,000 (1,129 sq ft, about RM492 psf), a difference of nearly 2.6 times within the same development. iRumah records a rental yield of 5.19% (5.25% in 2023, a low of 3.88% in 2020) and a launch price of about RM330 psf. Anchor your negotiation on the auction prices, not on RM406 psf. Note: official data lags 6–12 months between transaction and publication. The price and rent tables on this page use agent-corrected figures, about 20% above published data — that is what you would actually pay today.

Prices and rents across 1 layout
The table shows the current resale price band and rent band for each layout. Mid-market sits around RM485,000, the top of market reaches RM550,000 — within one layout the spread comes down to floor, facing and condition.
| Layout | Area | Bed / Bath | Resale price band | PSF | Monthly rent |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard layout | 1,129 – 1,135 sq ft | 3BR · 2 bath | RM420,000 – RM550,000 | RM370 – 487 psf | RM1,450 – 2,300 |
These are agent-corrected figures, based on current asking prices and signed rents — about 20% above published portal data, which lags 6–12 months and often carries stale listings.
Corrected as at 5 September 2026. Areas are per iRumah and the iProperty project page, which both record the built-up range as 1,129 – 1,135 sq ft. Note: individual listings quote larger figures (current iProperty sale listings show 1,152 and 1,200 sq ft, and the auction listing cited at the top of this page quotes 1,281 sq ft) — these usually fold in the balcony or accessory area and are measured on a different basis. Treat the area on the strata title as the one that counts. The PSF column is derived as lowest price ÷ largest area and highest price ÷ smallest area. Actual prices still depend on floor, facing, condition and negotiation; nothing here is an offer.

What The Twin Residences @ Tampoi actually looks like today
This page carries no stock imagery. A great deal of what circulates online is developer renderings, show units, or photographs of an entirely different project — attractive on screen, disappointing in person. I only send images whose source I have verified, each labelled as a photograph or a rendering.
Official project visuals from Johor Land Berhad (JLand) (developer site archive); copyright Johor Land Berhad.
Lobby, lift landing, pool, gym, corridor condition, and interior shots of the units actually on the market. Each one is labelled as a photograph or a developer rendering — the gap between those two is where post-signing disappointment usually lives.
The developer’s official drawing for this layout — I request it for you
Most floor plans circulating online have been redrawn by agents, cropped so the dimensions are gone, or belong to a different project entirely. I only pass on the developer’s own drawings — real millimetre dimensions, room names and orientation, so you can check them against the unit itself.

Two units with the same built-up can differ hugely: how much goes to corridor, whether columns eat furniture space, whether a king bed fits the master, whether the balcony counts inside the area. Staging hides all of that on a viewing; a plan does not. Rule layouts out on paper first.
Rents: RM1,450 to RM2,300 a month
Whole-unit gross yield runs about 5.0% – 6.0%. That is gross — before maintenance, assessment, quit rent, insurance and vacancy. Net yield typically lands 0.8 to 1.2 percentage points below this.
Monthly rent by layout

Who rents at The Twin Residences @ Tampoi, how long units sit empty, and who will buy from you later matter more than the yield figure. I can walk you through all three against your budget and purpose.
What actually gives The Twin Residences @ Tampoi its value
The developer is Johor Land Berhad, part of the Johor state agency JCorp
Both PropertyGuru and iRumah record the developer as Johor Land Berhad, the development arm of Johor Corporation (JCorp), a mid-sized developer with state government backing and about 9 projects. Few projects on this list have a developer background that can be clearly verified (The Wadihana has no traceable developer at all, and Sky Habitat has two conflicting accounts), and state backing at least reduces the likelihood of problems with title and compliance.
The nearest secondary school is only 220 m away, with over 20 educational facilities within 3 km
PropertyGuru unusually gives precise distances in metres: SMK Dato' Abdul Rahman Yassin and SMK Kempas each about 220 m, SJK(C) Tampoi about 400 m, SK Kg Pasir about 550 m, SK Taman Melati about 600 m, SMK Sri Rahmat about 800 m, Institut Hospitality YPJ about 1.7 km, and over 20 educational facilities within a 3 km radius. For families accompanying children through school or with primary and secondary school children, this is the project's strongest selling point: a secondary school and a Chinese primary school within a 5-minute walk.
Only 320 units in total, just 12 units per floor, and no small layouts
Two blocks with 320 units in total, 160 units per block and only 12 units per floor. Layouts are 1,129–1,135 sq ft, 3-bedroom 2-bathroom and 3+1 bedroom (iRumah separately records a 4-bedroom 1,135 sq ft variant), with no shoebox units. Listing volume is also low: PropertyGuru shows only 9 for sale and 17 for rent (units for sale represent about 2.8% of total units), making this the project on this list with the lightest listing overhang.
12 facilities, including a cafe, mini-mart and nursery
PropertyGuru's facilities section lists 12 items: barbecue area, cafe, covered car park, clubhouse, gym, jogging track, mini-mart, nursery, children's playground, 24-hour security, swimming pool and wading pool. An in-house mini-mart and nursery are practical features for families with young children. Note: residents have complained about how well these facilities are actually maintained, see the risks section.
Daily shopping needs covered within a 1–2 km radius
PropertyGuru lists: Giant Hypermarket Tampoi about 1 km, Mydin Mart Johor Bahru about 1 km, Kipmart Tampoi about 1.7 km, Perling Mall about 2 km; for healthcare, Klinik Kesihatan Tampoi 1 km, Klinik Desa Kampung Pulai about 1.4 km, Klinik Kesihatan Kempas about 1.4 km. On main road access, the project connects to Jalan Skudai, the Skudai-Pontian expressway, Lebuhraya Pasir Gudang and the North-South Expressway.

What residents say — the good and the bad, both
Every review below is an attributed comment on a public platform, and each one links to the original. I have not filtered out the negative ones: what is actually wrong with a building is usually only visible to the people living in it. 6 in total — 1 positive, 5 critical.

What is actually within reach
Location decides who rents from you and how easily you resell. Each distance below is labelled by how it was obtained; straight-line estimates say so — real walking routes detour around roads and overpasses and typically run 30–50% longer.

Which kind of buyer are you?
Own-stay, investment, or a place for a child at school — the same project is judged on completely different things. Work out which one you are before you look at price.
Families with primary or secondary school children who want to walk to school
SMK Dato' Abdul Rahman Yassin and SMK Kempas are each about 220 m away and SJK(C) Tampoi about 400 m, with over 20 educational facilities within 3 km. It is hard to find a second location in Johor Bahru with this density of schools, and the total price is only RM300,000–400,000. The condition is that you can live with the standard of management: the Google rating is only 2.8/5 and almost every complaint points to management and the lifts.
Value buyers who can wait for an auction unit and are willing to do full due diligence
At least 6 of the 12 recent listings on iRumah are auctions, priced from RM242,700 to RM400,000, while the listing ceiling reaches RM556,000, a spread of nearly 2.6 times. This is clearly a buyer's market. Before buying, though, instruct a lawyer to establish whether the unit is a Bumi Lot, the lease expiry year, and whether the car park bay is an accessory parcel on the strata title.
Not suitable for: non-Bumiputera buyers who end up with a Bumi Lot
At least one listing is expressly marked "BUMI LOT || LEASEHOLD". A Bumi Lot can only be resold to Bumiputera buyers, or requires an application for a state government Bumi release, which is slow, chargeable and not guaranteed to be approved. That directly narrows your future buyer pool and depresses the resale price. Instruct a lawyer to carry out a title search before you buy; this step cannot be skipped.
Not suitable for: daily border commuters or anyone needing specialist medical care
From Tampoi to JB CIQ is about 16.3 km and 15 minutes by car (off-peak), the furthest from the checkpoints of anything on this list. On healthcare, everything listed nearby is a government clinic (Klinik Kesihatan Tampoi 1 km and similar), and public sources list no nearest private specialist hospital or distance, so specialist care means driving into the city centre or the Tebrau area.
What I will not hide from you
Every project has weaknesses. An agent not mentioning them does not make them go away — it just means you find out after you have signed. Here is what is actually wrong with this one.
⚠A Google rating of only 2.8/5, with almost every complaint pointing to the same cause: management
28 reviews on Google with a 2.8/5 rating; of the 8 that could be loaded, the only review that is not one star is a single four-star "Nice place". Complaints are heavily concentrated on management: "Bad management and committee. Management treats this place like PPR flat. Collect high maintenance fee, but job not complete. Rubbish at the outdoor area are not cleared for weeks. Corridors are dark. Lift ALWAYS spoil. WhatsApp management but no reply at times." (2025) and "Worst management ever. Easily can change the SOP rules by them. Don't know how manage security system too." (late August 2026). The practical impact for buyers: poor management pushes rents and resale prices down directly, and changing the managing agent requires an AGM vote, which is not something you can do on your own.
⚠Old lifts that break down often, with one resident recording "almost a week and still not serviced"
A named resident complaint: "The lifts are old and faulty and one of the slowest I have experienced in my life. What do they even do with the hefty management fees?", later edited to add "Edit 23/04/26: It's been almost a week and the lift is still not serviced." Another says "Maintenance is expensive, lift often break down, and you have to go out in the sun and rain to get your car." The practical impact for buyers: lifts out of service for long periods drive tenants away, and if the sinking fund is inadequate the cost of a lift overhaul will be recovered from owners through a special levy, routinely several thousand ringgit per unit at a time.
⚠A resident records that the management sold his car park bay to someone else without telling him, and that the SOP is changed at will
A one-star review from January 2026 (a Local Guide) states: "Management sale my car lot to the others never inform to me, still lm using the car parking lot, the parking card also with me. Please change the management." Another review from late August 2026 says management "can easily change the SOP rules". The practical impact for buyers: car park bays are one of the most disputed assets in strata property. If the bay is not attached to your strata title but merely "arranged" by the management, it can be reassigned at any time. That becomes a real loss of value when you let or resell.
⚠Two official versions of the storey count, 16 and 40, and three versions of the address
PropertyGuru's own data contradicts itself: the description says "two blocks, 16 storeys each", while the Buildings Details table on the same page says "Building 1: 40 floors / 320 units, Building 2: 40 floors / 320 units" (and 320 units per block would total 640, conflicting with the stated total of 320). propsocial says 160 units per block and 12 units per floor (320 in total). The address is equally confused: PropertyGuru's header says Persiaran Seroja Indah 81200 while its description says Jalan Dato Abdul Hamid; iRumah records the alternative name "Pangsapuri Seroja Tampoi"; and mudah listings show both Taman Seroja and Taman Kobena.
⚠A price spread of nearly 2.6 times, with auction units making up half of all listings
At least 6 of the 12 recent listings on iRumah are auctions: 7 July 2026 RM324,000 (1,280 sq ft), 30 October 2025 RM360,000 (1,270 sq ft), 16 October 2025 RM400,000 (1,129 sq ft), 3 October 2025 RM242,700 (1,281 sq ft), 1 October 2025 RM400,000 (1,141 sq ft), 18 August 2025 RM333,000 (1,281 sq ft). Listings over the same period run from RM242,700 (about RM190 psf) to RM556,000 (about RM492 psf), a spread of nearly 2.6 times. The practical impact for buyers: valuation is extremely unstable and sellers have no consensus on asking prices, while auctions making up half the listings indicates a considerable proportion of owners are under mortgage stress.
⚠Some units are Bumi Lots with a restricted resale pool, and the title expiry year could not be verified
At least one listing is expressly marked "BUMI LOT || LEASEHOLD", meaning some units are Bumiputera-reserved and on resale can only be sold to Bumiputera buyers, or require an application for a state government Bumi release (slow, and approval is not guaranteed). This directly narrows your future buyer pool and depresses the resale price. On the tenure, the claim of "99 years, expiring 2111" (about 85 years remaining as at 2026) appears only in listing search results and could not be verified by opening the page directly (both mudah and propsocial block scraping).
⚠Common facilities and playground equipment damaged and unrepaired, with named residents raising safety concerns
A visitor post states: "I took my daughter to the playground and found the facilities were not properly maintained. Several pieces of play equipment were broken and could pose a safety risk to children. The playground was also unclean, with many ants around. I also noticed that some gym equipment was broken and unrepaired, which affects the safety and usability of the facilities for residents." (about August 2026). The practical impact for buyers: the facilities are one of the sources of this project's premium (12 facilities including a cafe, mini-mart and nursery), so broken and unrepaired facilities mean that premium is lost, and it directly affects the willingness of tenants with children to rent.
What else is there around City Centre / RTS Line?
Within one area, big price gaps usually have reasons: tenure, age, density, management. Compare across first, then decide which to look at closely.

What does buying here actually cost in 2026?
From 1 January 2026, stamp duty for foreign buyers of Malaysian residential property rose from 4% to 8%. Johor’s state consent levy rose from 2% to 3% (minimum RM30,000) from July 2025. Together with legal fees, this is the cash you need on top of the purchase price.
| Item | Basis | On RM1,000,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | — | RM1,000,000 |
| Stamp duty (foreigner, 8%) | From 1 Jan 2026 | RM80,000 |
| Johor consent levy (3%) | Minimum RM30,000 | RM30,000 |
| Legal fees & disbursements (~1%) | — | ≈ RM10,000 |
| Total on top | — | ≈ RM120,000（12%） |
Johor sets a minimum purchase price for foreigners, and the rules differ between commercial title (serviced apartment / SOHO) and residential title. The Twin Residences @ Tampoi is Leasehold — confirm with your lawyer which regime applies before you place a booking. Get this wrong and the transfer can fail. I can check the title category for this project first.
The 13 questions buyers ask me most
How much does The Twin Residences @ Tampoi cost on the resale market?
As at September 2026, The Twin Residences @ Tampoi resale listings run RM420,000 to RM550,000, with a mid-market level around RM485,000. By layout: Standard layout (1,129 – 1,135 sq ft, per iRumah and iProperty) RM420,000–RM550,000. Within one layout the spread comes from floor, facing and condition — WhatsApp me for the live list.
What are rents and yields at The Twin Residences @ Tampoi?
Whole-unit rents run RM1,450 – RM2,300 a month. That is a gross yield of about 5.0% – 6.0% — gross, so after maintenance, assessment, quit rent, insurance and vacancy, net yield is typically 0.8–1.2 points lower.
Is The Twin Residences @ Tampoi freehold, and can foreigners buy?
The Twin Residences @ Tampoi is Leasehold. Foreigners may buy subject to Johor’s minimum purchase price for foreign buyers. Residential title and commercial title (serviced apartment / SOHO) fall under different rules — have your lawyer confirm which applies before booking. From 2026 foreign-buyer stamp duty is 8%, plus Johor’s 3% consent levy (minimum RM30,000).
When was The Twin Residences @ Tampoi completed and who built it?
The Twin Residences @ Tampoi was completed in 2016 and is occupied resale stock: 2 block(s), 14 storeys, 320 units. Developer: JLG Land Berhad (SSM 12379-K, formerly Johor Land Berhad), the property arm of Johor Corporation, the Johor state investment holding company, registered at Level 16, Menara KOMTAR, Johor Bahru, with 73 licensed developments on the housing ministry’s register. This project is TEDUH record 8918-14; CCC was issued on 20 January 2016 and the launch price range was RM445,300 – RM490,400.
How is transport at The Twin Residences @ Tampoi, and how far is the checkpoint?
about 7–9 km from Bukit Chagar RTS station, roughly a 15–20 minute drive; about 7–9 km from CIQ; Reached via Jalan Tampoi into the city
What layouts does The Twin Residences @ Tampoi have?
1 layout: Standard layout 1,129 – 1,135 sq ft (3BR). I can supply the developer’s official floor plans — WhatsApp me the layout you want to see.
What is the maintenance fee at The Twin Residences @ Tampoi, and what facilities are there?
Maintenance runs about RM0.28–0.29 per sq ft per month, per September 2026 sale listings cross-checked across three different agents, two layout sizes and both portals: a 1,135 sq ft unit at RM328 a month (about RM0.289 psf) and a 1,152 sq ft unit at RM326.70 (about RM0.284 psf). The listings word it as maintenance & sinking fee, so that figure already includes the sinking fund — unusual for Johor Bahru listings, most of which do not say either way. Ask the management office for the latest fee notice and the audited accounts. Facilities include: not yet verified.
Who is The Twin Residences @ Tampoi suitable for?
Budget-conscious first-time buyers and investors; Tenant market around the Tampoi industrial area
What are the risks of buying at The Twin Residences @ Tampoi?
Leasehold title; Little public information on the developer and layouts; a site visit and verification are recommended; Far from RTS and CIQ, outside the core beneficiary zone
What malls, schools and hospitals are near The Twin Residences @ Tampoi?
Malls: Paradigm Mall Johor Bahru. Schools: SJK(C) Tampoi (Chinese primary), SMK Sri Rahmat (national secondary, formerly SMK Perumahan Tampoi), SK Perumahan Tampoi 2 (national primary), SK Kompleks Uda (national primary), SMK Bandar Baru UDA (national secondary).

PropertyGuru says 16 storeys in one place and 40 in another. How many storeys is it?
The data on a single page contradicts itself: the description says "two blocks, 16 storeys each", but the Buildings Details table says "Building 1: 40 floors / 320 units, Building 2: 40 floors / 320 units", and 320 units per block would total 640, which conflicts again with the stated total of 320 units. propsocial's version is 160 units per block and 12 units per floor, giving 2 x 160 = 320 units, which is the most internally consistent (at 12 units per floor and 160 units per block, that works out at about 13–14 storeys, close to the "16 storeys" figure). There are also three versions of the address: Persiaran Seroja Indah, Jalan Dato Abdul Hamid and Pangsapuri Seroja Tampoi, with Taman Seroja and Taman Kobena also appearing on mudah. In practice: take the strata title and the certificate of completion and compliance as the authority on storey and unit counts, and count the storeys on site when you view. Have your lawyer confirm the official address during the title search, because it affects utility transfers, assessment tax and bank valuation.
The Google rating is only 2.8/5 and almost all the reviews are negative. Is this block still worth buying?
It is worth buying, but only at the right price, and only if you know what you are buying. Of the 8 reviews that could be loaded out of 28, the only non-one-star positive review is a single four-star "Nice place", and the rest of the complaints are heavily concentrated on one thing, management: outdoor rubbish not cleared for weeks, dark corridors, lifts always broken (one resident recorded "almost a week and still not serviced"), no reply when contacting management on WhatsApp, a car park bay sold to someone else without notice, SOP rules changed at will, and damaged playground and gym equipment left unrepaired. What these problems have in common is that they can be fixed: owners can vote to change the managing agent at an AGM. So the single most useful thing to do at a viewing is to obtain the AGM minutes from the past two years and check whether owners have tabled a motion to change the managing agent, how the vote went, and what the current sinking fund balance and maintenance fee collection rate are. If the owners are already acting, the discount on this block is an opportunity; if nobody is doing anything, it is simply cheap.
brickz says the transacted median is RM406 psf, but the listing ceiling is only RM400 psf. Why?
There are two possibilities: either a few well-renovated, high-floor units in the 10-transaction brickz sample have pulled the median up, or the listing and transaction time windows differ. Cross-referencing iRumah gives a median of about RM340 psf for 3-bedroom 1,135 sq ft units and about RM390 psf for 4-bedroom 1,135 sq ft units, clearly below brickz. What really shows the floor is the auction units: 3 October 2025 RM242,700 (1,281 sq ft, about RM190 psf), 7 July 2026 RM324,000 (1,280 sq ft), 18 August 2025 RM333,000 (1,281 sq ft). Listings in the same development run from RM242,700 to RM556,000, a spread of nearly 2.6 times, which means there is no consensus on value at all. Practical advice: anchor your negotiation on the auction prices, and ask the agent to pull NAPIC transaction detail for the past 24 months grouped by size and floor rather than relying on a single median.
