The verdict at Ceria Residences Cyberjaya is to run whole-unit 12-month tenancies or deploy the built-in dual-key studio layout — avoiding speculative room partitioning. SPEEDHOME first-party demand is anchored by an attached studio card carrying 108 lifetime chat requests and 23 viewing appointments, alongside three-bedroom cards clearing at RM1,700 (measured — pet-friendly, 30 requests) and RM2,300 (measured — 1,191 sqft, 4 requests), while a fresh dual-key four-bedroom asks RM2,600 on Mudah (measured — October 2026). Against a live Brickz transacted non-landed median of RM490,000 (measured — RM480 psf across 3 sales between April 2024 and March 2025), whole-unit gross yields span 4.2% to 6.4% (before the 2.19% platform fee). The biggest caveat: short-stay hosting is unproven with zero Ceria-named Airbnb listings, and splitting conventional three-beds yields marginally against whole-unit rents while adding construction risk.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick an operating model card below and evaluate your returns in the calculator. The rent field loads RM1,700 — the measured three-bedroom baseline on our board — while the purchase field reflects the live Brickz condominium median of RM490,000 (measured).
- Whole-unit residential let (The proven default) — Let the entire home on a 12-month zero-deposit agreement. Three-bedroom Type A units rent at RM1,700 a month (measured — SPEEDHOME card 2025-08-15, pet-friendly, 30 chat requests), 1,191 sqft Type B units rent at RM2,300 (measured — SPEEDHOME card 2026-10-06), and dual-key four-bedroom units ask RM2,600 (measured — Mudah live card 2026-10-10). Dependable occupancy, low tenant turnover, and zero structural capex.
- Room rental and co-living (The dual-key middle path) — Splitting a standard Type A 1,000 sqft unit at Cyberjaya corridor room rates (RM700–850 a month, measured at Cyberia Smarthomes) grosses RM2,100–2,550 a month. Because this directly overlaps measured whole-unit rents (RM1,700–2,600), carving up conventional units adds partition costs and friction for negligible gain. However, Type B (1,191 sqft) and Type C (1,292 sqft) units feature approved dual-key studios in the architectural plan. That studio is a proven demand magnet (108 chat requests at RM1,200 a month, measured), enabling two distinct tenancies under one title without drywall construction, subject to MC concurrence.
- Short-stay and holiday rentals (The unproven channel) — The Airbnb location entity resolves to Ceria Residence, but zero units name the building. Active listings redirect to Tamarind Suites (SGD $160–313 for 5 nights, measured) and generic homestays. Short stay remains unproven on-site and legally gated under the Strata Management Act 2013 and the Innab Salil Federal Court precedent.

What can you earn?
First-party demand data reveals clear tenant appetite across different unit configurations. On SPEEDHOME's board, three building-named listings demonstrate how distinct layouts perform: - A 400 sqft studio card ("Ceria Residences Condominums, Cyberjaya") at RM1,200 a month (measured — listed 2023-08-08) generated 108 lifetime chat requests and 23 viewing appointments, acting as the platform's primary demand magnet in this micro-location. - A 1,000 sqft three-bedroom unit ("Ceria Condominium") at RM1,700 a month (measured — listed 2025-08-15) captured 30 chat requests and 3 viewing appointments under a pet-friendly profile. - A 1,191 sqft three-bedroom unit ("Ceria Residence Cyberjaya") at RM2,300 a month (measured — listed 2026-10-06) logged 4 chat requests and 3 viewing appointments under Keys on Hand (KOH).
On open portals, a live listing on Mudah's Cyberjaya feed advertises a partially furnished 1,191 sqft dual-key four-bedroom unit at RM2,600 a month (measured — listed October 2026). Search snippets on iProperty indicate around 7 rental properties in the project (snippet — October 2026), alongside aggregator claims of 14 listings asking around RM2,400 a month for high-floor three-beds.
The surrounding Cyberjaya corridor provides whole-unit context on SPEEDHOME: Solstice 1-beds at RM1,300 (54 requests), CyberSquare studios at RM1,300–1,380 (33 requests), Paragon 1-beds at RM1,200 (44 requests), Vega Residensi 2-beds at RM2,000 (10 requests), and The Arc 3 to 4-beds at RM1,550–1,800.
Transacted purchase benchmarks are live-bound from official Brickz records. At the non-landed condominium path for Ceria Residence Cyberjaya, Brickz records 3 sold non-landed transactions between 25 April 2024 and 20 March 2025 (measured): - Median transaction price: RM490,000 - Median transacted rate: RM480 psf - 25th percentile (P25): RM480,000; 75th percentile (P75): RM590,000
Identity fence: A separate landed "Ceria Residence" terrace-house sibling row appears in Brickz representing the 150 terrace villas within the development; that landed median is strictly excluded from our condominium denominator.
Worked yield calculations across the measured rent spectrum (gross, before the 2.19% platform processing fee): - Type A 1,000 sqft three-bed baseline: RM1,700 x 12 = RM20,400 / RM490,000 = 4.2% - Type B 1,191 sqft three-bed ask: RM2,300 x 12 = RM27,600 / RM490,000 = 5.6% - Dual-key 1,191 sqft four-bed premium: RM2,600 x 12 = RM31,200 / RM490,000 = 6.4%
Room rental arithmetic highlights why conventional partitioning is financially unrewarding here. In neighbouring Cyberia Smarthomes, medium rooms command RM700 to RM850 a month (measured — 83 to 229 chat requests on SPEEDHOME), while Cyber Heights Villa commands RM1,300 for medium rooms and RM1,700 for master suites. Splitting a 1,000 sqft Type A three-bedroom unit into 3 rental rooms at corridor rates yields RM2,100 to RM2,550 a month gross. Because this range directly overlaps whole-unit rents of RM1,700 to RM2,300, the marginal gross gain is quickly absorbed by partition capex, submetering, and turnover. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.
Short-stay figures show no viable in-building track record. The Airbnb entity lists zero units within Ceria Residences itself; listings redirect to Tamarind Suites at SGD $160–313 per 5 nights (~RM105–205 a night) and generic homestays.
Recurring ownership costs: - Indicative maintenance fees sit at approximately RM0.22 psf (excerpt — iProperty profile), or roughly RM220 a month for Type A (1,000 sqft), RM262 for Type B (1,191 sqft), and RM284 for Type C (1,292 sqft). Official billing and sinking fund schedules must be verified with the MC. - Assessment falls under Majlis Perbandaran Sepang (MPSepang); quit rent is determined per parcel on the title deed. - Official pet rules are not published in public by-laws; however, one SPEEDHOME listing operates as pet-friendly at RM1,700 a month with 30 chat requests. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms; building rules can vary.
Why Ceria Residences Cyberjaya
Ceria Residences is a freehold mixed development completed in December 2017 by Setia Haruman Sdn Bhd, the master developer of Cyberjaya. Spanning 19.5 acres along Persiaran Ceria under Majlis Perbandaran Sepang (MPSepang), the project comprises two 10-storey condominium blocks housing 350 units (Block A and Block B, 175 units each, 10 units per floor served by 3 lifts) alongside 150 two-storey terrace villas.
The development's core strength lies in its spacious layout plates: - Type A (1,000 sqft): 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 covered parking bays. - Type B (1,191 sqft): 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, featuring an approved dual-key design with attached studio suite and 2 covered bays. - Type C (1,292 sqft): 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, featuring an approved dual-key studio suite and 3 covered bays. - Terrace Villas (2,500–2,685 sqft): 4 to 5 bedrooms, 3 to 4 bathrooms, landed linked homes.
This layout mix provides two distinct tenant pools. Conventional Type A units attract families, tech professionals, and university staff from MMU and Limkokwing. Type B and C dual-key units unlock dual rental streams: lease the primary suite to a couple while renting the self-contained studio to a tech worker. Because the dividing wall and separate entry exist in the approved plan, this model bypasses the legal risks of drywall alterations. For broader area context, consult the Cyberjaya area hub.
5 checks before you buy
- Verify the parcel title and approved layout — Confirm the unit is an individual residential strata parcel rather than commercial, and check the SPA floor plan to confirm whether the layout is a conventional Type A or an approved dual-key Type B/C with a separate entrance. Done: strata title and approved plan physically inspected.
- Obtain the MC's written position on multi-tenancy and short-stay — Under Section 32 and Section 70(2) of the Strata Management Act 2013, the Management Corporation holds statutory power to regulate short-term lets and multi-occupancy. Request the additional by-laws from the management office. Done: written confirmation from the MC in hand.
- Audit the actual maintenance ledger and sinking fund — Portal figures cite roughly RM0.22 psf, but actual billing depends on sinking fund contributions. Inspect the past 12 months of statements and recent AGM minutes for any pending special assessments. Done: AGM minutes and audited maintenance bills reviewed.
- Test utility separation in dual-key units — If operating the studio suite independently in a Type B or C layout, ensure electrical circuitry and plumbing support private submetering to prevent utility disputes. Done: electrical distribution board inspected with a licensed contractor.
- Formulate a reversible fit-out plan — Avoid heavy built-in cabinetry that limits re-letting flexibility. Furnish with durable modular pieces using a professional SPEEDRENO rental fit-out package. Done: written fit-out scope prepared.
FAQ
What yield can an investor expect at Ceria Residences Cyberjaya?
Based on transacted sales from Brickz (non-landed median of RM490,000 / RM480 psf) and measured rental contracts, whole-unit gross yields range from 4.2% to 6.4% (before the 2.19% platform processing fee). A conventional Type A three-bedroom rented at RM1,700 generates roughly 4.2% gross, a 1,191 sqft Type B rented at RM2,300 delivers 5.6%, and an optimized dual-key unit commanding RM2,600 generates up to 6.4%.
Can I rent out rooms or run co-living at Ceria Residences?
Partitioning a conventional 1,000 sqft Type A unit is financially marginal: 3 rooms at Cyberjaya corridor rates (RM700–850) gross RM2,100–2,550 a month, barely outperforming whole-unit rents (RM1,700–2,300) once construction costs are considered. However, Type B and C units feature approved dual-key layouts with attached studio suites, allowing two lawful tenancies without adding illegal partition walls. Read our room rental and co-living guide.
Is short-stay or Airbnb permitted at Ceria Residences?
Short-stay hosting is unproven at Ceria Residences, with zero building-named listings active on Airbnb. Under the Strata Management Act 2013 and the Federal Court precedent Innab Salil v Verve Suites Mont' Kiara, the Management Corporation has legal authority to prohibit short-term rentals through building by-laws. Review our Airbnb versus long-term rental guide.
Are pets allowed at Ceria Residences?
The Management Corporation's official by-laws regarding pets are not published online. On SPEEDHOME, one live three-bedroom listing operates successfully as pet-friendly at RM1,700 a month with 30 chat requests. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms; building rules can vary. Always verify the latest house rules with the on-site management office.
What running it looks like
Managing an investment unit at Ceria Residences Cyberjaya succeeds by keeping operations simple, lawful, and aligned with tenant demand. For Type A units, run a clean 12-month family tenancy.
