Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
Fairview Residence is a 750-home freehold condominium in Sungai Ara, completed in 2020, with three-bedroom homes of about 750 to 975 sq ft; the 970 sq ft layout is the most common.
Asking prices in 2026 ran from about RM378,000 to RM580,000, with 970 sq ft homes mostly listed around RM480,000 to RM495,000. Furnished three-bedrooms let for roughly RM1,450 to RM2,000 a month.
It suits families who want an affordable island condo close to Bayan Lepas and the Sungai Ara schools. Higher floors facing the city and the Penang Bridge command a premium, so compare like with like.

How Fairview Residence is priced within Sungai Ara
At roughly RM454 psf, Fairview Residence sits toward the value end of Sungai Ara's condo band (RM440–590 psf). That usually reflects building age, floor level, or distance from the area's prime frontage — worth checking which, because the first two are negotiable and the third is not.

The Fairview Residence pre-purchase checklist
- 1.Remaining lease (if leasehold) — Ask for the exact expiry year. Banks tighten lending as the remaining term shortens, which affects both your loan and your future buyer's.
- 2.Outstanding charges and caveats — Your lawyer should run a full land search for caveats, charges or restrictions in interest before you release any deposit.
- 3.Genuine transacted comparables — Ask for recent transacted prices in the same block, not asking prices. Asking prices tell you what sellers hope for, not what the market pays.
- 4.Exit tax position — Model your RPGT before you buy, not when you sell. Holding period changes the maths substantially, especially for foreign owners.
- 5.Vacant possession terms — Agree in writing what stays — air-conditioners, built-ins, curtains, lights. Fixture disputes at handover are entirely avoidable.

Verified sub-sale asking prices. Asking is not transacted — expect movement between the two.
The building is 6 years old. Still young. The defects liability period has long expired, so anything outstanding is now the management corporation’s problem and, through the sinking fund, partly yours. Check what was actually rectified.
Every unit here sits below the RM1M foreign-buyer minimum, so this building is open to Malaysian and PR buyers only.
Selling rather than buying? The RPGT rates and the 21B retention decide what you keep — and if you are near the five-to-six-year line, the date matters more than the price.

Fairview Residence subsale — common questions
What is the price of Fairview Residence?
Fairview Residence runs RM378,000 to RM580,000. These are verified sub-sale asking prices, not transacted figures — expect movement between the two. That works out to about RM454–577 per square foot. Checked 2026-10-05.
Is Fairview Residence freehold or leasehold?
Fairview Residence is freehold. I have not been able to confirm the land title class — check it with the developer, because a commercial title changes your utility tariffs and loan margin.
Can a foreigner buy at Fairview Residence?
Yes, if you are on MM2H. MM2H participants can buy residential property in Penang from RM500,000 (up to two homes), and Fairview Residence is priced above that. Other foreign buyers need RM1,000,000 for strata property on the island, which homes here do not reach. Add the state levy, a flat 8% stamp duty, and 3–4 months for state consent.
How much is the rent at Fairview Residence?
Asking rents ran from RM1,450 to RM2,000 a month in September–October 2026, for three-bedroom homes of about 750–975 sq ft. These are asking rents on the main property portals, not signed leases. Short-term holiday letting isn't allowed in condos on Penang Island, so think in one- or two-year tenancies.
When was Fairview Residence completed?
Fairview Residence was completed in 2020 by BSG Property & VST Group, so homes here are bought from existing owners.
How big are the homes at Fairview Residence?
Homes range from about 970 sq ft. There are 750 homes in total.
How does Fairview compare to Treeo in Sungai Ara?
Treeo is the bigger neighbour: 1,240 homes of about 900 sq ft, listed from about RM395,000. Fairview has 750 homes of about 970 sq ft, listed from about RM378,000. Fairview's homes are a little larger and the block less dense; compare the maintenance and facilities of both before you choose.
