In Ipoh, the question is not which condo — it is whether a condo at all
A buyer arriving from Kuala Lumpur reads a market through condominiums. Ipoh does not work that way: of the 37 projects tracked here, 33 are landed and four are high-rise. The choice is a different one from the start.
The four high-rise projects, in full
Because there are only four, they can be listed rather than summarised. The Anderson Ipoh, 516 to 884 sq ft, freehold, completing Q4 2026. Residensi Meru Jati, 514 to 899 sq ft, freehold. Raffles 188 Ipoh, 712 to 888 sq ft, leasehold, 2027. The Stallionz Ipoh, 650 sq ft, leasehold, with vacant possession stated for Q4 2025.
All four are compact by Klang Valley standards at the top end — the largest layout in the city's new high-rise stock is 899 sq ft. If you want three real bedrooms in Ipoh, the market answers with a terrace house, not a condominium.
What the landed stock looks like instead
The other 33 are terraces, semi-detached houses, cluster homes and bungalows. Built-ups run from about 900 sq ft to 4,411 sq ft, and lot dimensions — 20' x 70', 36' x 88' — are quoted as often as floor area.
Published starting prices across Ipoh run from RM305,000 to RM1,118,000. At the lower end that is a single-storey terrace on its own land, which in most of the Klang Valley does not exist at any price.
The monthly cost is the part people miss
A high-rise carries a maintenance charge and a sinking fund for as long as you own it, calculated per square foot of your share unit. A landed house in a gated scheme pays a monthly charge too, but it is a security and landscaping budget, not a building budget — no lifts, no fire systems, no facade to repaint.
Over a decade that gap is the size of a car. It is also the reason a per-square-foot comparison between an Ipoh terrace and an Ipoh condominium tells you very little.
Where tenure complicates it
Thirty of the 37 Ipoh projects are leasehold, and that cuts across both types. On a landed house a lease matters twice over: state consent adds months to a future sale, and a bank prices the remaining term against your loan tenure.
Ask for the remaining term in writing rather than the tenure label — a Perak lease issued in the 1990s on a re-launched phase leaves a very different number from one issued last year.
Frequently asked
Are there condominiums in Ipoh?
Few. Of the 37 Ipoh projects tracked on this site, four are high-rise: The Anderson Ipoh, Residensi Meru Jati, Raffles 188 Ipoh and The Stallionz Ipoh. The other 33 are landed.
What is the largest new condo unit in Ipoh?
899 sq ft, at Residensi Meru Jati. The four high-rise projects run from 514 to 899 sq ft, so a family layout in Ipoh usually means a landed house.
How much does a new house in Ipoh cost?
Published starting prices across the Ipoh projects listed here run from RM305,000 to RM1,118,000, the lower end being single-storey terraces and the upper end bungalows.
Is Ipoh property freehold or leasehold?
Mostly leasehold: 30 of the 37 projects tracked here. Tenure is stated on each project page.
Is a landed house cheaper to own than a condo in Ipoh?
Month to month, usually. A high-rise carries maintenance and a sinking fund per square foot indefinitely; a gated landed scheme charges for security and landscaping, with no lifts or building systems to fund.
