Amika Residence Review: From RM 697,800 — Worth Buying?

Quick answer: who is Amika Residence for?

Amika Residence suits families who want a freehold home in USJ with room to grow: every listed unit is 883 sq ft or larger, with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 3 car parks. It is a strong match for parents who want Sri KDU International School close by, at about 150 m in a straight line. It is less suited to a single buyer or a couple after a small, low-priced first home, because there are no compact units and the entry price is the highest of the nearby launches compared below.

My view

In one line: This is a freehold family launch in USJ: every unit is a family-sized home with 3 to 4 bedrooms, from RM 697,800, the highest starting price of the launches compared below.

Living there: Sri KDU International School is about 150 m away in a straight line, a park about 190 m, a clinic about 570 m and a 99 Speedmart about 760 m. The three malls, NU Empire, SS15 Courtyard and Subang Parade, are all around 2 km away, so weekend shopping means a drive. The fee is RM 0.35 per sq ft including the sinking fund, so an 883 sq ft home pays about RM 309 a month (RM 0.35 × 883 sq ft).

Who it suits, who it doesn't: It suits families with children at, or heading to, Sri KDU who need three bedrooms and two car parks. It does not suit a single buyer or anyone who only needs two bedrooms: there are no compact units, and nearby Alora Residence (from RM 470,800) and Luminar Residence (from RM 356,000) start lower.

How long to hold: Completion is listed for 2027, the earliest of the group alongside Alora. For a family with children in school nearby, I would treat it as a home for several years, not a short-term buy and sell.

Check for yourself at the viewing: The per-type details in the listing do not line up with the 3 to 4 bedroom range, so confirm the bedroom count of your layout on the official floor plan. Ask which types carry the third car park. Walk from the project to Batu Tiga station once: it is about 850 m in a straight line, and the real route will be longer.

• Suits: families who need three bedrooms and two car parks; parents with children at, or heading to, Sri KDU International School; buyers who want freehold in USJ.
• Think twice if: you want a small first home, or the lowest entry price in Subang Jaya.

Project facts (checked, updated October 2026)

What is near Amika Residence?

All distances below are straight-line.

The everyday basics are close, while the bigger malls mean a short drive. Three stations sit between about 850 m and 2.1 km; the closest, Batu Tiga, is a walk in good weather but most residents will drive or take a ride.

Which layout suits you?

Three layout types are listed, covering 883 to 1,227 sq ft with 3 to 4 bedrooms. The per-type details in the listing do not line up cleanly with the stated bedroom range, so ask for the official floor plans before choosing a unit, and check which types carry the third car park. As a rule of thumb, the smaller end of the range suits a young family that wants three bedrooms at the lowest price here, while the larger end suits households that want a bigger living area or a fourth room.

What does it cost to hold each month?

The maintenance fee is RM 0.35 per sq ft including sinking fund:

Quit rent, assessment tax, utilities and internet are separate.

How it compares with nearby launches

All four are freehold. Amika has the highest starting price because its smallest unit is much larger: it begins at 883 sq ft where the others start between about 550 and 570 sq ft. It is also the smallest community of the four and, with Alora, the earliest listed completion. If you compare like for like, put Amika's 3-bedroom units against the 3-bedroom units in the other projects rather than against their starting prices.
