Zac’s Take
Zac Ong
Vilaris Courtyard Homes sits within The Sanctuary in Batu Uban, Gelugor — an area that's become a genuine landed alternative for buyers priced out of Sungai Ara or Tanjung Bungah but still wanting island convenience near USM and the bridge. Fifty-six units, freehold, listed from about RM1.86 million in 2026, completed in 2016, so this is an established resale market now. What stands out is the facility list itself: swimming pool, children's playground, community garden, guardhouse and perimeter fencing, 24-hour security and CCTV — no tennis courts, no clubhouse, no sauna. That's a refreshingly honest, low-frills set for a 56-unit gated community, telling you this project sells on location and land title rather than resort amenities.

Immediate occupancy
Move in within months, not years. Most resales complete in four to six months, a little longer if you need state consent as a foreign buyer.
Verified surroundings
Gelugor's noise levels, traffic, neighbour mix, and JMC quality are known quantities at Vilaris Courtyard Homes.
Established maintenance
The building has a track record. Ask for the management accounts, sinking fund balance and recent meeting minutes before you commit.
Due diligence before buying at Vilaris Courtyard Homes
- 1.Individual title status — Confirm whether individual title has issued and is in the seller's name. Master-title landed transactions carry extra steps and time.
- 2.Approved extensions — Most landed resales have some extension. Ask for the approved plan — unapproved structures can be an issue at your own resale or refinancing.
- 3.Drainage and ground level — Walk the perimeter and ask neighbours directly about flooding history. Penang's heavy-rain events are the honest test, not a dry-day viewing.
- 4.Gated scheme fees and rules — For gated-and-guarded schemes, confirm the monthly fee, what it covers, and the collection rate. Poor collection means declining security cover.
- 5.Roof, structure and termites — Commission an inspection for anything over fifteen years old. Roof and termite remediation are the two costs that most often blow a landed budget.

Verified sub-sale asking prices. Asking is not transacted — expect movement between the two.
Recent prices. Asking RM1,990,000–3,500,000 for 3-storey courtyard terraces, 3,825–3,940 sqft built-up. The last phase of The Sanctuary masterplan, 56 homes over 5.3 acres — genuine low density, but landed stock this size rarely lists, so treat the band as indicative.
The building is 10 years old. Old enough that the sinking fund and the state of common property matter more than the finishes. Ask for the MC accounts and the last AGM minutes — arrears across the building are the number that predicts your future maintenance bill.
A foreign buyer can purchase here — the RM3M minimum is cleared by the larger units, though not at the entry price. Add the state levy, a flat 8% stamp duty and 3–4 months for state consent.
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.

What is the price of Vilaris Courtyard Homes?
Asking RM1,990,000–3,500,000 for 3-storey courtyard terraces, 3,825–3,940 sqft built-up. The last phase of The Sanctuary masterplan, 56 homes over 5.3 acres — genuine low density, but landed stock this size rarely lists, so treat the band as indicative.
Is Vilaris Courtyard Homes freehold or leasehold?

MM2H participants have a lower minimum of RM500,000 (residential, up to two homes), which opens the cheaper units too. Add the state levy, a flat 8% stamp duty, and 3–4 months for state consent.

How big are the homes at Vilaris Courtyard Homes?

What facilities are included?
Swimming pool, children's playground, community garden, guardhouse with perimeter fencing, and 24-hour security with CCTV — a deliberately modest list without condo-style extras like gyms or tennis courts.
Why buy landed in Gelugor's Batu Uban area?
Batu Uban sits close to USM and the Penang Bridge, offering island landed housing at a lower psf than Sungai Ara or Tanjung Bungah — a practical, less prestige-driven alternative.
