In this article, we will be exploring the available housing options and indicative prices (where available) in Gamuda Gardens and neighboring developments, amenities in the vicinity, and what makes this location attractive for first time home buyers, upgraders, and investors. Firstly, we will explore what affordable housing is in Malaysia context.
What is affordable housing in Malaysia?
In Malaysia, affordable housing refers to homes designed to be accessible to middle (M40) and lower-income (B40) groups. Typically, affordable homes are priced between RM 100,000 and RM 300,000, although in more urbanized areas, homes priced up to RM 400,000 (or more) may also be considered affordable. These homes are targeted at households with monthly incomes between RM 2,500 and RM 10,000. The definition and criteria for affordable housing can vary depending on location and local policies.
Several government initiatives, such as PR1MA, RUMAWIP, and RumahSelangorku, provide affordable housing options, aiming to ease homeownership for Malaysians. These homes are affordably priced, and you may be able to find these gems within specific townships like Gamuda Gardens.

- Rumah Selangorku: There are 2 of such within Gamuda Gardens, Danau Ria (priced at RM180,000 and RM220,000 respectively) and Gaia Residence (one room unit at RM250,000 with limited availability). Please check with the relevant government bodies on the availability. Both are currently completed.
- Townhouses: The only townhouses available within the township are in Illaria, priced starting from RM500,00. We have never covered this property as it was quickly booked as soon as it was launched. There may be a limited number of units available due to either released reservations or cancellations. Drop an enquiry to get an authorized Gamuda Gardens sales person to reach out to you.
- Terrace Homes: If you have a larger budget, do consider terrace homes in Gamuda Gardens in the secondary market. Prices for terraced homes range from RM900,000 and above. If you are looking at subsale properties, strongly consider Village Homes for its vicinity to upcoming Gardens Square, walking distance to Waterfront Village (for F&B, grocery, Gardens Wellness clubhouse with swimming pool, gym, sauna, badminton courts), walking distance to Gaia Boulevard (with your regular mamak, kopitiam, clinic, pharmacy, 7-Eleven, 99 Speedmart and more) and with a side door to access the 50-acre pet-friendly park (for your regular morning walks, jogs and healing moments). Nothing beats convenience when purchasing a home.
These homes are nestled within a well-planned township, complete with high-quality infrastructure and community spaces. Do note that not all are within the affordable range (as per defined above).
