The verdict at Ken Rimba Condominium 1 is a steady whole-unit family hold on a uniform plate — and the discipline that makes this page honest is a fence, not a number. The estate is a township: our condo entity page carries ONE dedicated card at RM2,000 with 14 chat requests and 6 viewings in its first ten weeks; the landed and commercial sections of the same township trade at RM667,500 and RM1,350,000 medians, and their RM3,000-3,500 house rents are different products that never enter this page's arithmetic. Around the condo: a tight measured band of RM1,600-2,000 on the uniform 3-bed 1,076-1,183 sqft plate, and the deepest sale denominator of this batch — Brickz reads 9 recent transactions at a RM450,000 median (RM377 psf) with a since-2020 view of 51 sold at the same median. Worked gross: 4.3-5.3% on the median, 3.9-6.1% across the price range. Rooms are unmeasured — and one "RM500-750 small unit" claim you may meet in search is recorded conflation, not this building. Short-stay: not collected, no claim either way.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card and put in your own numbers — the rent field loads RM2,000, our own live zero-deposit card, and the purchase field loads RM450,000, the Brickz median with a 51-transaction view behind it at excerpt grade. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?
First-party first, and it is fresh: one dedicated card on the condo entity page, RM2,000 a month, created 5 August 2026 — fourteen chat requests and six viewings in ten weeks is active demand, not a stale ask. The platform's own record puts the building's price floor at RM2,000. The corridor is the i-City machine on the shared township page: isuite plates at RM2,000 twice, and a suria-jaya card at RM1,150 carrying 187 lifetime chat requests — the Seksyen 7/16 pool is one demand pool, and it is deep.
The rent book, excerpt-grade and tight. Mudah carries 33 rental listings for the building with a semi-furnished example at RM1,600 near i-City — against the own card at RM2,000 that is a tight RM1,600-2,000 band on a plate that barely varies (every standard unit is a 3-bed 1,076-1,183 sqft). One conflict, recorded: PropertyGuru prints a "starting from RM 1,200" floor that sits implausibly low against this plate — likely a smaller phase or a portal misquote; it is carried as unreconciled, never quoted as the band.
The denominator is the batch's deepest. Brickz's project row reads verbatim: "Ken Rimba Condominium 1 have 9 sold Condominium Transactions. Median price RM450,000 (377 psf), Price range RM395,000 – RM490,000", and the non-landed view since January 2020 shows 51 sold at the same RM450,000 / RM377 psf median, with prices ranging to RM500,000 (the full view reads RM395,000-500,000). EdgeProp's asking ladder — RM399,000 on 1,076, RM576,000 on 1,119, RM590,000 on 1,183 (RM371-499 psf) — is consistent with it. A second conflict, also recorded: PropertyGuru's "sale from RM220,000" implies RM204 psf on the 1,076 plate, below Brickz's P25 — unreconciled, never quoted. Worked, median-basis, gross, before the 2.19% processing fee: RM1,600 annualises to RM19,200, 4.3% on RM450,000; RM1,800 makes RM21,600, 4.8%; RM2,000 makes RM24,000, 5.3%; across the RM395,000-490,000 price range the corners run 3.9-6.1%. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.
The alternatives and the honest holes. Rooms: no in-building room listing exists on any channel read — and the "Speedhome RM500-750 small ~550 sqft units" line you may meet in search summaries does not trace to any Ken Rimba card on our board; those prices belong to other corridors, and this building's plates start at 1,076 sqft. The registry's labelled market bands remain the default, and the written management position gates any split. Short-stay: not collected this sweep — a Shah Alam family corridor — so this page makes no nightly claim in either direction. Costs, a rare measured range: listing pages print maintenance at RM330 a month on a larger unit with tandem parking, commonly quoted around RM150 — a real RM150-330 band at listing-page grade. Quit rent and assessment: not published.
Why a green-rated 679-unit family estate runs whole-unit
Ken Rimba Condominium 1 is Ken Holdings' freehold, green-rated (BCA Green Mark Gold, GBI) three-block estate in Seksyen 16 — 26 storeys each, 679 units, completed 2015, next to the Padang Jawa KTM station with UiTM and i-City in the corridor. The product is uniform by design: standard plates are all 3-bed 1,076-1,183 sqft (penthouses to 2,200), which is why the rent band is tight and why there is no room-split physics here — one household per plate is what the layout was cut for, and the commuter-and-family demand pool answers it. The township identity fence does real work: landed sections, commercial sections and house-rent plates are different products on the same estate name, and nothing from them enters a condo number. The scarce card in this corridor is the pet-friendly whole unit — Parisien Tower, LBS Skylake and Palm Garden fly the flag at offer level on the shared corridor — and pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms — whatever the handbook says; the offer is our policy, the by-law variance is one line in the same letter.

FAQ
What yield does Ken Rimba Condominium 1 give?
Worked median-basis and labelled: 4.3-5.3% gross at the RM1,600-2,000 measured band on the RM450,000 Brickz median, corners 3.9-6.1% across the RM395,000-490,000 range. The denominator has a 51-transaction view behind it — verify the live file and run your own parcel in the calculator.
Can you rent out rooms at Ken Rimba?
No in-building room listing exists on any channel read — per-room economics are unmeasured, the plates are uniform 3-beds, and the "RM500-750 small unit" search line is recorded conflation from other corridors. The written management position gates any split. See the room rental and co-living guide.
Is short stay allowed at Ken Rimba?
No claim either way: the short-stay side was not collected in this sweep, and the written by-law text is the only answer that counts. Do not underwrite a night-rate model here on any number this page carries.
Are pets allowed at Ken Rimba?
The management's position is not published; what is measured is offer-level — Parisien Tower, LBS Skylake and Palm Garden fly the pet flag on the shared corridor page. Pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry. SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly — cats welcome in our coliving rooms; the offer is our policy, and the by-law variance travels in the same letter.

The own-board read (both slugs, including the condo entity's platform record), the Mudah/PropertyGuru/iProperty/EdgeProp excerpt reads and the Brickz project-row read are reads of 11 October 2026 (evidence file ken-rimba-market-evidence-2026-10-11.yaml); the RM19,200 / RM21,600 / RM24,000 annualised figures are labelled derivations and the 4.3-5.3% / 3.9-6.1% ranges are median-basis and range-corner arithmetic on an excerpt-grade denominator; the 14 chat requests are a ten-week lifetime counter on a 5 August 2026 card, not monthly demand; the RM500-750 "small unit" line is recorded conflation, never this building; the landed and commercial township sections never enter the condo's numbers; short-stay was not collected — no nightly claim is made.
