The verdict at Seri Maya is the whole-unit default on a bi-modal book, with rooms measured in-building and the deepest exit in the fleet: Brickz, live-bound, carries 1,519 all-time transactions at a RM305,000 median (RM262 psf) — and the 3-bed rent book runs RM1,100 measured to RM2,000 corridor-top. Worked, mixed-basis, asking-basis, gross, before 2.19%: RM1,100-2,000 x 12 = RM13,200-24,000 on RM305,000 = 4.3-7.9%. The rooms are measured, the rare class: RM800-1,000 direct-owner; three rooms clear RM2,400-3,000, above the 3-bed whole-unit top. An iRumah asking-median near RM430 psf circulates against the RM262 transacted — transacted governs, never blended. Short-stay: zero building-named units. Maintenance: only a launch-era figure.
Three ways to run your unit
Pick a model card and put in your own numbers. The rent field loads RM1,100 — the live in-building 3-bed card (1,147 sqft, two days old), floor of a book whose big-plate asks sit at RM2,800. The purchase field loads RM305,000 — the Brickz All-time transacted median, live-bound over 1,519 transactions; the thin 4-transaction past-year window and the iRumah asking figure are quoted beside it, never loaded. The rooms card carries the measured RM800-1,000 band as the named upside, gated on the written management position. The answer updates as you type.

What can you earn?
First-party first: one dedicated card, pet-friendly, big-plate ask. Our board carries id 303375, "Seri Maya, Setiawangsa" at RM2,800, pet-friendly, 1 request and 1 viewing, live since 3 October 2026 — a fresh big-plate ask, not a proven clearing rent. The doorstep comp, Suria Jelatek Residence (the adjacent LRT-side tower), asks RM2,750 pet-friendly with 2 requests since 10 October. PropertyGuru's example agrees on the class: "RM 2,800/mo for larger units".
The 3-bed floor is measured in-building. The Mudah Setiawangsa area feed (no entity page exists for the building — area-feed evidence class) carries: "RM 1,100 per month -- Seri Maya Unit B-10-03 ... 3 Bed 2 Bath 1,147 sq.ft ... Listed 2 days ago ... Private advertiser". Recorded verbatim: it sits far below the RM2,800 asks — a value-listing or distressed ask, and the page anchors the band, not this card. iProperty's excerpts corroborate the floor: "60 Houses for Rent at Seri Maya Condominium ... start from RM1K for units with 1,200 sqft", earlier "starting from RM 1,100/mo". So the 3-bed book runs RM1,100 building-measured to RM2,000 at the corridor top ("RM 2,000 per month F_residence @ Setiawangsa ... 3 Bed 2 Bath 1,050 sq.ft" — a different building, labelled as corridor); the load is the live RM1,100 card. Kaleidoscope's RM3,200 4-bed and F Residence's RM1,800 2-bed are corridor context, never this building. Check the live Taman Setiawangsa rentals filter for current asking rents.
Rooms, measured in-building, direct-owner. The same area feed carries the room market: "RM 1,000 per month Room for Rent MALE- Seri Maya Condominium, Setiawangsa- Direct Owner" and "RM 800 per month Medium Room FEMALE Seri Maya Condominium Direct Owner" — rooms already trade inside the building at operator-band mid rates. Three rooms at RM800-1,000 gross RM2,400-3,000, clearing the 3-bed whole-unit top — marginal-to-rooms on gross, and gated: the MC's written position and the DBKL 2023 commercial-strata partition ban govern the model, and speculative partitions are off the table regardless. See the room rental and co-living guide.
The sale side — the fleet's deepest denominator, live-bound. Brickz, live-bound: "Median Price PSF (Past 1Y): RM261; Median Price (Past 1Y): RM300,000; Transactions (Past 1Y): 4; Median Price PSF (All): RM262; Median Price (All): RM305,000; Transactions (All): 1,519" — 1,519 all-time transactions, the deepest base this fleet has measured. The conflict is recorded verbatim: iRumah's excerpt claims "around RM430 psf, with the most popular layout being 3-bedroom / 1,325 sqft (implying roughly RM560K-570K)" against Brickz's transacted RM261-262 — a 1.6x spread. Transacted governs; the asking figure may be asking-based or layout-weighted, and is never presented as its equal. Launch context: "From RM200,000, around RM170 psf" — launch-era, not today's market.
Short-stay and costs. Zero Airbnb units name the building — "No listing title on this page names 'Seri Maya'"; the corridor's "Comfortable City Haven | Hospital | Gleneagles| KL — RM 325 for 5 nights" and "Astrum Ampang | KL City View | Modern Stay #AA1.17 — RM 573 for 5 nights" belong to other products. Agoda lists a "Seri Maya Condominium (whole apartment)" operator presence — an excerpt-grade OTA channel exists; presence is not permission. Maintenance: the only printed figure is a launch-era "RM0.15 psf (as listed at launch/review time)" — parked, current schedule unconfirmed; quit rent not published; operating default RM330 a month fenced; council is DBKL. See the real cost of self-managing a rental.
Why a 1,486-unit LRT-doorstep estate is a plate decision
Tan and Tan built Seri Maya freehold beside the Setiawangsa LRT station on the Kelana Jaya Line: 20 storeys, approximately 1,486 units (some records say 1,400 — count conflict recorded, the strata register settles), completed 2007-2008, in four plates from the 3-bed 1,147 to the ~3,500 sqft penthouse. At this scale the parcel, not the project, is the investment: a 1,147 sqft 3-bed and a penthouse share one address and almost nothing else, which is why the yield is worked at the 3-bed class and withheld at the big plates — the RM305,000 median is unit-mix-weighted, and dividing a penthouse rent by it is a plate error. The demand is LRT-led: commuters, hospital and city workers, and the direct-owner room market already inside the building — and a reversible SPEEDRENO fit-out is what makes a 3-bed plate eligible for the scarce segments (pet-friendly whole-unit, compliant rooms) without touching the original plan, which the DBKL partition ban protects anyway. Pets: the dedicated own-board card runs pet-friendly — a measured in-building offer-level anchor, not a by-law — and SPEEDHOME coliving is cat-friendly regardless; pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry, with the by-law variance in the same letter.
5 checks before you commit
-
Read the real title document — freehold is the record; confirm the plate (1,147 / ~1,500 / ~2,500 / ~3,500 sqft) on the strata plan, because the yield logic is plate-specific. Done: you hold the individual issue document of title.
-
Get the MC's written stance — short-stay, multi-tenancy and pets in one request; an Agoda operator presence and a live room market are facts on the ground, not permissions. Done: the clauses, in writing, with the COB filing date.
-
Ask for the current fee schedule — the RM0.15 psf figure is launch-era; a 2007-2008 estate this size carries real lift and facade cycles. Done: the current schedule, the sinking-fund balance and the last three years in writing.
-
Price the exit on transacted rows, not asking medians — the 1,519-transaction Brickz base and the iRumah ~RM430 psf asking figure differ by 1.6x; your own dated sale closes that gap. Done: your own comp, in writing.
-
Decide the rooms question deliberately — RM800-1,000 measured direct-owner makes the split a real option; the MC letter and the DBKL partition ban gate it, and the original plan is preserved either way. Done: your model, chosen on purpose.
FAQ
What yield does Seri Maya Condominium give?
Worked, mixed-basis (building and corridor rent labels against the building's transacted base), asking-basis, gross, before the 2.19% processing fee: RM1,100-2,000 x 12 = RM13,200-24,000 on RM305,000 = 4.3-7.9% for the 3-bed class. The big plates are withheld — the RM305,000 median is unit-mix-weighted and no plate-specific transacted denominator exists. Bring your own dated sale.
Can you rent out rooms at Seri Maya?
Yes, measurably: RM1,000 for a room let to a male tenant and RM800 for a medium room, both direct-owner and in-building. Three rooms gross RM2,400-3,000 against a 3-bed whole-unit top near RM2,000 — but the MC's written position and the DBKL 2023 partition ban govern the model; see the room rental and co-living guide.
Is short stay allowed at Seri Maya?
No unit names the building on the short-stay grid, and the Agoda "whole apartment" listing is an excerpt-grade operator presence, not a permission. The MC's written stance gates the model.
Are pets allowed at Seri Maya?
The MC policy is not published; the dedicated card on our own board runs pet-friendly — an offer-level anchor, not a by-law. 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. Pet-friendly setups earn roughly 15-20% more where allowed, market context from the operator registry.
What running it looks like
Setup is three documents plus one discipline: the title with the plate confirmed, the MC's written stance, the current fee schedule — and spending that respects a 2007-2008 services stack before it respects styling. The work is one clean household per unit, or a gated compliant room model on the 3-bed plates — zero deposit either way, SPEEDHOME runs the listing, the viewings and the rent collection, and you approve the tenant before anything is signed. The plans sit on top: Standard at RM799 + SST a year, Protect at one month's rent, Protect+ at one and a half.
