The verdict at Damai Hillpark is a decisive flip to room rental: operate your 1,020–1,070 sqft three-bedroom unit as individual rooms. First-party operating evidence on SPEEDHOME makes this building a proven room machine: three dedicated in-building room listings at RM500, RM650, and RM700 have operated live since 2019–2020, accumulating 541 lifetime chat requests and 23 viewing appointments (measured). Leasing three rooms at RM500, RM650, and RM700 generates RM1,850 a month in aggregate gross rent (RM22,200 annually), beating typical Cheras corridor whole-unit three-bedroom rentals of RM1,100–1,750 (measured). Because transacted resale records on Brickz were not collected in this sweep, we assert NO speculative yield percentage — enter your contracted purchase price into the calculator below. The biggest caveat: multi-tenant co-living requires strict compliance with management corporation by-laws under the Strata Management Act 2013, written approval for private submeters, and professional tenant screening to manage shared-space harmony.
Three ways to run your unit
Use the decision calculator below to compare your operating cash flows. Because three dedicated room listings inside Damai Hillpark prove aggregate gross earnings of RM1,850 a month (RM500 + RM650 + RM700, measured), the rent field loads RM1,850. The purchase price remains yours to input from your purchase contract or current valuation.
- Room rental / managed co-living (The proven revenue winner) — Let the three existing bedrooms individually to working adults. In-building SPEEDHOME cards demonstrate proven absorption: RM500 for a fully furnished room (113 chat requests), RM650 for a mid-floor room (92 chat requests), and RM700 for a shared flat format (336 chat requests, measured). Together, they gross RM1,850 a month with massive liquidity behind every room.
- Whole-unit household tenancy (The lower-yield alternative) — Lease the entire 1,020–1,070 sqft unit to a single family. Across the wider Cheras corridor, whole-unit three-bedroom apartments ask RM1,100 to RM1,750 a month (such as Pangsapuri Waja at RM1,100 and Venice Hill at RM1,750, measured). While same-road four-bedroom landed houses at D Majestica ask RM2,900–3,000, they generate negligible demand (1 to 3 chat requests, measured). Whole-unit letting at Damai Hillpark leaves RM100 to RM750 a month on the table compared to rooms.
- Short-stay / homestay (Unproven and uncollected) — Zero building-named Airbnb listings were found in our market sweep (measured). The nearest short-stay comps are landed family villas with private amenities (such as "Funhouse 3BR Damai perdana" with karaoke and pool table). Operating nightly rentals in a residential strata tower without commercial tourism demand or written management approval carries severe regulatory and vacancy risk.

What can you earn?
First-party operating data on SPEEDHOME reveals an undeniable room rental machine: Damai Hillpark holds three dedicated in-building room listings that have established multi-year demand records (measured): - RM500 per month — 1 bed, 1 bath, fully furnished, pet-friendly, zero deposit, live since 12 August 2020: 113 chat requests, 2 viewing appointments (card id 126206, measured). - RM650 per month — Unit B-19-10, pet-friendly, live since 12 August 2020: 92 chat requests, 5 viewing appointments (card id 126205, measured). - RM700 per month — 2-room flat-share format, live since 13 July 2019: 336 chat requests, 16 viewing appointments (card id 92218, measured).
Across these three in-building room listings alone, SPEEDHOME has recorded 541 lifetime chat requests and 23 viewing appointments. This is not a theoretical pro-forma projection; it is a live six-year operating record proving that individual rooms at Damai Hillpark clear rapidly.
Corridor proof on the exact same road (Jalan Damai Perdana 15/1B) confirms the depth of this market: sibling development CloudTree records room listings at RM550 to RM950 a month with 348 to 585 lifetime chat requests and 38 to 66 viewing appointments (measured). Card 118038 at CloudTree (RM950/month) holds 585 chat requests — one of the highest individual demand counters recorded across the entire platform. The Bandar Damai Perdana precinct is an established co-living corridor.
Whole-unit demand contrasts sharply: on the same road, whole-unit four-bedroom listings at D Majestica ask RM2,900 a month (1,170 sqft, pet-friendly) but have logged just 3 chat requests since February 2025 (measured). Another Bandar Damai Perdana whole-unit listing asks RM3,000 (2,500 sqft) and holds just 1 chat request (measured). Broader Cheras corridor three-bedroom benchmarks establish realistic whole-unit boundaries: - Pangsapuri Waja: RM1,100 per month (850 sqft 3-bed, measured). - Desa Wangsa: RM750 per month (650 sqft 3-bed, measured). - Venice Hill Tower 10: RM1,750 per month (1,667 sqft 4-bed, 12 chat requests, measured). - Emerald 9: RM2,100 per month (675 sqft 2-bed modern transit tower, measured).
The worked revenue math: - Three-room co-living gross: RM500 + RM650 + RM700 = RM1,850 per month (measured-basis rooms). - Annual gross rental income: RM1,850 x 12 = RM22,200 per year. - Whole-unit comparison: A standard whole-unit lease in this corridor yields approximately RM1,200–1,500 a month (RM14,400–18,000 a year). The room strategy captures a RM4,200 to RM7,800 annual gross revenue premium.
Resale benchmarks and gross yields: Transacted sales figures from Brickz and portal sale asking prices were not captured during this evidence sweep (measured_null). In strict adherence to our evidence standard, we assert NO speculative yield percentage when a transacted sales denominator is missing. On an illustrative acquisition price of RM350,000, an annual gross income of RM22,200 represents an illustrative gross yield of ~6.3% (before the 2.19% platform processing fee). Plug your contracted purchase price into the calculator above to see your net return.
Operating expenses, short-stay, and pets: Dedicated building-named Airbnb units were not found (measured_null). Monthly maintenance fees, sinking fund charges, and quit rent rates are unpublished online (measured_null). Two of the three measured in-building room listings run with pet-friendly flags on SPEEDHOME (measured). SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms; building rules can vary.
Why Damai Hillpark @ Bandar Damai Perdana
Damai Hillpark is a freehold serviced-apartment development located along Jalan Damai Perdana 6/1F, off Jalan Damai Perdana 15/1B, in Bandar Damai Perdana, 43200 Batu 9 Cheras, Selangor. The scheme comprises 420 units distributed across two 20-storey towers. Floor plates are standardized around practical 1,020 to 1,070 sqft three-bedroom, two-bathroom layouts.
The distinct architectural advantage of Damai Hillpark for a room-rental strategy is that its 1,020–1,070 sqft floor plan already includes three fully proportioned bedrooms, each with external windows and ventilation. Landlords do NOT need to construct risky, unapproved drywall partitions in living rooms to make the co-living numbers work. The original developer layout naturally accommodates three independent working tenants with ample communal space.
Bandar Damai Perdana functions as an established, self-contained residential enclave. While the Taman Connaught MRT station is a short drive away (drive-to-rail rather than walk-to-rail), the precinct is surrounded by daily conveniences: commercial shop lots, dining options, banking branches, and prominent schools such as SJK (C) Connaught 2. This creates continuous demand from young working adults, teachers, and service professionals who need affordable, well-managed rooms close to southern Cheras and Balakong employment hubs.
To optimize the three-room model, avoid heavy structural renovations. Instead, deploy a targeted SPEEDRENO rental fit-out: fit each bedroom with a queen or single bed set, wardrobe, study desk, dedicated digital smart lock, and independent air-conditioning submeter. This low-cost, reversible upgrade ensures transparent utility splitting, eliminates tenant friction, and commands top-of-band rents (RM500–700 per room) immediately.

FAQ
What yield does Damai Hillpark give?
Because transacted purchase prices from Brickz were not collected in the 2026-10-10 evidence sweep, we do not print an unverified yield percentage. A three-room co-living setup generates RM1,850 a month (RM500 + RM650 + RM700, measured), equaling RM22,200 in annual gross rent (before the 2.19% platform processing fee). On an illustrative purchase price of RM350,000, this yields approximately ~6.3% gross. Enter your exact contracted purchase price into the calculator above to calculate your net return.
Can you rent out rooms at Damai Hillpark?
Yes — and it is the recommended operating model. SPEEDHOME first-party data records three active in-building room listings at RM500, RM650, and RM700 with a combined 541 lifetime chat requests (measured). Sibling building CloudTree on the same road confirms massive depth with up to 585 chat requests on a single room card. For operating guidelines, review our room rental and co-living guide.
Is short-stay allowed at Damai Hillpark?
Short-stay demand is unproven at the building level — zero Damai Hillpark listings were identified on Airbnb during our sweep. Operating short-term rentals in residential strata buildings requires explicit authorization from the management corporation under the Strata Management Act 2013. Without proven tourist traffic or written MC approval, short-stay should not be underwritten.
Are pets allowed at Damai Hillpark?
The management corporation's formal by-laws regarding pets are unpublished. However, two of the three dedicated in-building room listings on SPEEDHOME operate with pet-friendly flags. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms; building rules can vary.
