A low-density IJM Land development on the Bukit Jambul hill: 72 leasehold homes, made up of 26 double- and triple-storey semi-detached villas and 46 condo villas.

How much does Trehaus cost in 2026?

Condo villas of about 1,657–1,754 sq ft were listed around RM905,000 to RM1.2M. Semi-detached villas of about 3,000–3,300 sq ft were listed from about RM2.39M.

Is Trehaus freehold or leasehold?

Leasehold. Check the remaining lease on the title, as it affects resale and how much some banks will lend.

Can foreigners buy at Trehaus?

The condo villas priced at RM1M or more are open to foreign buyers. Landed homes on Penang Island need RM3M or more, so most semi-Ds don't qualify unless they're priced above that; whether a villa counts as landed follows the title. MM2H participants can buy from RM500,000.

How far is it from the Bayan Lepas factories and the airport?

Measured by road at free-flow speeds, the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone is about 5.6 km (9 minutes) and the airport about 6.5 km (9 minutes).

Most people who work in Bayan Lepas and want a house with its own front door end up on the mainland or in a terrace in the flatlands. Trehaus is one of the few answers on the island: a small IJM Land enclave on the green Bukit Jambul hill, with semi-detached villas and roomy condo villas, about ten minutes from the factories and the airport.

Key takeaways:

72 leasehold homes by IJM Land: 26 double- and triple-storey semi-D villas and 46 condo villas.
Semi-Ds of about 3,000–3,300 sq ft from about RM2.39M; condo villas of about 1,657–1,754 sq ft around RM905,000–1.2M.
Fairview International School about 1.8 km away; the Free Industrial Zone and airport under 10 minutes by road.
Leasehold is the catch; check the remaining term before anything else.

Two products in one enclave

The semi-D villas are the landed option: two and three storeys, about 3,000 sq ft and up, with their own entrances in a gated setting. New-generation semi-Ds on this side of the island are rare, which is the main reason to look.

The condo villas are 46 large apartments in a low-rise block. At about 1,657 to 1,754 sq ft they're much bigger than a typical Bukit Jambul condo, and with so few neighbours they feel closer to landed living than a tower.

Prices in 2026

Condo villas were listed around RM905,000 to RM1.2M, roughly RM516–706 per sq ft depending on the unit. Semi-Ds were listed from about RM2.39M. With only 72 homes, listings are infrequent, so compare with recent sales rather than a single asking price.

The catch: leasehold

Freehold landed homes are what Trehaus competes with in buyers' minds. Leasehold homes resell to fewer buyers, and some banks lend less as the lease shortens. That's part of why a Trehaus semi-D costs less than many island alternatives. Get the remaining term from the title before you discuss price, and ask your lawyer about consent requirements for transfer.

Getting around

Measured road distances at free-flow speeds (the Bayan Lepas rush hour is much slower):

Fairview International School: about 1.8 km, 3 minutes.
USM: about 5.2 km, 8 minutes.
Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone: about 5.6 km, 9 minutes.
Queensbay Mall: about 6 km, 8 minutes.
Penang airport: about 6.5 km, 9 minutes.
Komtar: about 14 km, 15 minutes.

For a family with one parent at the factories and children at Fairview, that's about as short a daily loop as the island offers.

For foreign buyers

Penang Island's foreign minimum is RM1M for condos and RM3M for landed homes; whether a villa counts as landed follows the title it carries. The condo villas at RM1M or more qualify. Most semi-Ds, listed from about RM2.39M, fall below the landed floor unless priced above RM3M. MM2H participants can buy residential property from RM500,000.

How it compares

Jambul Heights is a small freehold condo nearby with homes of about 1,462–2,347 sq ft at lower prices. Tierra Residences in Bayan Lepas offers freehold three-storey terraces from about RM930,000, if a terrace rather than a semi-D works for you.

Zac’s Take

Zac Ong

Trehaus gives you space, privacy and a green setting in a part of the island that's mostly towers, and it's close to Bayan Lepas jobs and Fairview. The condo villas are the better value if you want a big home without landed upkeep; the semi-Ds suit families who want their own door. Just go in knowing it's leasehold, and price that in from the start.

Average response: under 1 hour, 9am–7pm Mon–Sat.
