Evergreen Park, Sungai Long: Rental Investment

Own a unit at Evergreen Park Acorn & Hazel, or evaluating an acquisition? The verdict here is a whole-unit family or student-group tenancy: lease the intact 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment (1,150–1,200 sqft) for RM1,250 to RM1,350 per month (SPEEDHOME own-board floor to Mudah search snippet). While the building sits just a 7–10 minute walk from the UTAR Sungai Long campus, first-party and portal evidence proves that room-splitting does NOT pay here: individual rooms inside Acorn & Hazel ask just RM390 to RM430 per month (search snippets), which across three native bedrooms totals RM1,170 to RM1,290 per month — falling at or below the whole-unit rent while multiplying turnover and wear. On SPEEDHOME's own board, 1 dedicated zero-deposit listing has operated at an entity price floor of RM1,250 (measured), with nearby corridor demand demonstrated by Pangsapuri SelangorKu Sena at RM950 with 12 chat requests (measured). Against Brickz transacted building medians spanning RM391–442 psf and RM455,000–580,000 (search excerpts, centered on RM500,000), the gross yield works out to ~3.0–3.2% (gross, before the 2.19% platform processing fee) — an income-lite family let, not a high-yield speculative machine. The biggest caveat: UTAR and the JMB are both on record warning against illegal drywall partitions, meaning speculative room additions risk immediate enforcement, fines, and voided building insurance.

Three ways to run your unit

Use the decision calculator below to compare your operating cash flows. Because the dedicated SPEEDHOME listing inside Acorn & Hazel establishes an active price floor of RM1,250 per month (measured), the rent field loads RM1,250. The purchase price loads the RM500,000 Brickz median (search excerpt), fully editable to reflect your contracted terms.

1. Whole-unit household tenancy (The proven winner on arithmetic) — Lease the standard 1,150–1,200 sqft 3-bed/2-bath unit as a single tenancy to a family or a bonded group of UTAR students on one agreement. The rent floor loads RM1,250 per month from SPEEDHOME's dedicated listing (measured), with portal asking prices reaching RM1,350 per month (search snippet). This model generates RM15,000 to RM16,200 annually with zero multi-tenant friction, zero partition capex, and full compliance under standard strata by-laws.
2. Room-by-room co-living (Fails on measured building arithmetic) — Let the three native bedrooms individually. Portal cards for Acorn & Hazel show room asks of RM390 to RM430 per month (search snippets). Summing three native rooms yields RM1,170 to RM1,290 per month — actually trailing the RM1,250 to RM1,350 whole-unit benchmark. While sibling block Scot Pine achieves RM700 per room on iBilik (search snippet), those rates belong to a different block and cannot be assumed here. Furthermore, UTAR and the JMB actively police illegal partitions.
3. Short-stay / homestay (Unproven and uncollected) — Zero building-named Airbnb units exist in our market sweep (measured null). Area short-stay comps in Balakong and Cheras studios ask RM75 to RM176 per night (measured). In a mature 25-year-old residential strata condominium primarily occupied by families and university students, operating nightly rentals without explicit written management corporation clearance invites statutory by-law penalties and operational headaches.

What can you earn?

First-party demand on SPEEDHOME demonstrates steady tenant liquidity at the building: - SPEEDHOME dedicated entity: 1 dedicated listing (unitCount 1) at an entity price floor of RM1,250 per month (slug evergreen-park-acorn-and-hazel-kajang, title "1 Zero Deposit Houses for Rent in Evergreen Park Acorn And Hazel Kajang", measured). - Corridor demand context: Pangsapuri SelangorKu Sena 3-bedroom unit at RM950 per month, pet-friendly, with 12 chat requests (measured). - Whole-unit portal benchmarks: Mudah search snippet shows an asking rent of RM1,350 per month ("Condo at Evergreen Park for Rent @ Bandar Sungai Long, RM 1,350/month, described as a neatly & bigger condominium"); Trovit search snippet records an Acorn & Hazel 3-bedroom condo at RM1,300 per month. - Sibling block separation: Sibling development Evergreen Park Cypress features larger layouts (~1,488 sqft) asking RM1,980 to RM2,300 per month (search snippets) — an entirely distinct product tier that must not be merged with Acorn & Hazel's 1,150–1,200 sqft plates.

The room split arithmetic: - In-building room asks at Acorn & Hazel: RM390 to RM430 per month per room (PropertyGuru search snippets: Jeslyn Goh at RM430/mo, Cheery Cheong at RM390/mo). - Derived 3-room gross: 3 rooms x RM390–430 = RM1,170 to RM1,290 per month (derived). - Compared to whole-unit rent of RM1,250 to RM1,350 per month, the room split loses by RM60 to RM80 per month on top-line gross income, while incurring higher turnover, utility disputes, and vacancy during student semester breaks.

The worked yield math: - Annual gross rental income: RM1,250 x 12 = RM15,000 per year (own-board floor) up to RM1,350 x 12 = RM16,200 per year (Mudah ask). - Purchase price denominator: Brickz transacted building-level search excerpts record multiple period rows: - Median RM442 psf, median price RM500,000 (25th–75th percentile RM360,000+) - Median RM391 psf, median price RM580,000 (transactions RM555,000–RM595,000) - Area median RM401 psf, median price RM455,000 - Layout median RM310 psf, median price RM600,000 - Unreconciled period band: RM391–442 psf / RM455,000–580,000 median. - Worked division on the RM500,000 central median: - RM15,000 / RM500,000 = 3.0% gross yield. - RM16,200 / RM500,000 = ~3.2% gross yield. - Across the entire RM455,000–580,000 median band, gross yields range between ~2.6% and ~3.6% (before SPEEDHOME's standard 2.19% + SST platform processing fee). - Evergreen Park Acorn & Hazel is an income-lite, low-volatility family holding rather than a high-yielding growth asset.

Operating costs, short-stay, and pets: - Short-stay: Zero building-named Airbnb units exist (measured null). Balakong/Cheras corridor comps ask RM75–176 per night. - Operating costs: Monthly maintenance fees, sinking fund charges, and quit rent are NOT PUBLISHED online (measured null). In a building completed around 1998–2000, checking the sinking fund balance in the latest AGM pack is vital. - Pets: Management corporation stance is unpublished online. Sibling corridor listings (such as SelangorKu Sena) confirm active pet-friendly demand. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms; building rules can vary.

Why Evergreen Park Acorn & Hazel

Evergreen Park Acorn & Hazel is a freehold condominium development by SHL Consolidated Berhad (Sin Heng Chan group), located along Persiaran Sungai Long 1 in Bandar Sungai Long, Kajang, Selangor. Completed around 1998 to 2000, the estate comprises approximately 300 units housed within two residential blocks (Acorn and Hazel) rising up to 12 storeys. Layouts are standardized across comfortable 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom floor plates measuring approximately 1,123 to 1,160 sqft.

The primary geographic driver is direct proximity to the Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) Sungai Long campus, situated just a 7 to 10-minute walk away. While the wider Bandar Sungai Long area supports over 100 room listings on portals, Acorn & Hazel's specific building economics favor renting to stable family households or a unified group of undergraduate or postgraduate students on a single tenancy agreement. The precinct also borders the Sungai Long Golf & Country Club and BMC Mall, providing complete daily amenities for township residents.

For owners preparing a unit for lease, capital discipline is essential. With 25 years of building operations, invest capital where it preserves asset life and commands full rental rates: bathroom waterproofing, modern sanitary ware, reliable water heaters, and durable, easy-to-clean floor finishes via a targeted SPEEDRENO rental fit-out. Avoid unapproved partitions or cosmetic extravagance that the RM1,250–1,350 rental ceiling will not repay.

5 checks before you buy

1. Verify the freehold strata title and parcel particulars — Inspect the original strata title deed under Majlis Perbandaran Kajang (MPKj) jurisdiction to confirm freehold tenure, parcel block designation (Acorn or Hazel), allocated parking bays, and ensure all outstanding quit rent and assessment taxes are settled. Done: strata title copy reviewed.
2. Audit the sinking fund and major maintenance reserves — For a condominium completed around 1998–2000, lift renewal cycles, water pump replacements, and facade repainting are significant capital liabilities. Review the last three years of audited AGM financial statements to ensure the sinking fund is healthy and no special assessments are planned. Done: AGM financial pack audited.
3. Confirm the JMB/MC stance on partitioning and student lets — UTAR and the JMB are both on record warning against illegal drywall partitions. Request the written house rules to verify tenant registration rules and confirm that your intended leasing configuration complies with Act 757. Done: written management rules confirmed.
4. Calibrate your purchase offer against the RM455k–580k Brickz band — Historical transacted prices span RM391 to RM442 psf (median prices RM455,000 to RM580,000, search excerpts). Ensure your acquisition price aligns with recent registered comps to avoid compressing yields below 3.0%. Done: recent sale transactions verified.
5. Inspect plumbing, water pressure, and electrical wiring — In a 25-year-old high-rise, inspect water supply lines, drainage traps, ceiling surfaces for water ingress from units above, and check distribution board capacity for air-conditioners. Done: physical engineering inspection completed. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.
