Aricia vs Ambience Residence: Price, Size & Which to Pick

Quick answer: Aricia Residences or Ambience Residence?

Choose Aricia Residences if you want the wider choice of sizes, from a 550 sq ft 1+1 bedroom to 1,420 sq ft duplexes, a 50 m lap pool, a fitted kitchen, digital lock and inverter air-conditioners at handover and a spot on the city-centre fringe, and you can wait for completion, expected in 2029. Choose Ambience Residence if you want the lower price per square foot (from about RM 670), a four-bedroom layout at 1,080 sq ft, an MRT station about 800 m away and completion expected earlier, around Q3 2027, and you are fine with a unit handed over bare.

Location: how they differ

The two are about 4.6 km apart in a straight line, so they are in the same wider area but not next to each other. Aricia is on Jalan Sungai Besi in the Chan Sow Lin area, on the city-centre fringe: Miharja LRT is about 940 m away, Chan Sow Lin LRT about 1.3 km and Chan Sow Lin MRT about 1.6 km, with Metro Mall about 920 m, Sunway Velocity Mall about 2.8 km and The Exchange TRX about 4.3 km. A shuttle vehicle is listed among its common services. Ambience is in Sungai Besi beside Central Residence and Kenwingston Avenue, with its entrance directly from the Sungai Besi Highway: Taman Naga Emas MRT is about 800 m away, Kuchai MRT about 810 m and Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) about 1.6 km, with Plaza Salak Park about 490 m. The MRT track runs about 25 m from the nearest Ambience unit, and there is no shuttle bus.

Layouts compared size for size

Neither review gives a price for each type; ask for the current list. The pairs below match by size.

Entry prices: Aricia from RM 461,000; Ambience from RM 448,230.

Price per square foot and monthly cost

Ambience starts from about RM 670 per square foot; Aricia starts from about RM 779. Both are the lowest figures on each price list, so compare the exact units you are quoted. The fees are quoted differently: Aricia's estimated RM 0.38 psf already includes the sinking fund, while Ambience's is about RM 0.30 psf before the 10% sinking fund, about RM 0.33 with it. The table below includes the sinking fund on both sides (maintenance fee and sinking fund only):

On a 1,000 sq ft unit that works out to about RM 380 a month at Aricia and about RM 330 at Ambience. Quit rent and assessment tax come on top at both.

What nearby homes sell and rent for

Around Aricia, the closest reference is Trion @ KL, a completed serviced apartment about 400 m away, where 797 to 807 sq ft units were recorded at RM 587,000 to 735,000, about RM 740 to 910 psf, and 1,023 to 1,055 sq ft units at RM 780,000 to 850,000, about RM 760 to 830 psf, in 2024 to 2026. Sunway Velocity, about 1.6 km away, recorded about RM 650 to 1,180 psf for 850 to 931 sq ft. Around Ambience, the references are Central Residence @ Sungai Besi next door, about 140 m away, at about RM 570 to 740 psf for 732 to 883 sq ft and about RM 550 to 860 psf for 1,087 to 1,141 sq ft, and The Leafz @ Sungai Besi, about 390 m away, at about RM 470 to 630 psf for 980 to 1,076 sq ft.

Asking rents are what owners are listing for, not signed leases, so treat them as a ceiling.

My view: who should pick which

These two answer different needs. Aricia is the one I would point to for choice and fittings: in one development you can buy a compact 1+1 bedroom, a 3+1 bedroom family unit at 872 sq ft or a duplex, every type comes with a fitted kitchen, a digital lock and inverter air-conditioners, and the facility deck has a 50 m lap pool. What I would weigh is the wait, with completion expected in 2029, and the train, which is a short drive or a shuttle ride rather than a walk. Ambience is the one for a family on a tighter budget: a lower price per square foot, three clear layouts including a four-bedroom at 1,080 sq ft, an MRT station about 800 m away and completion expected around Q3 2027. The compromises are a bare unit, no EV charging at the moment, 20 units per floor on most levels and an MRT track about 25 m from the nearest unit, so ask where your unit sits.

Pick Aricia Residences if…

• you want a 550 sq ft 1+1 bedroom, or a duplex of 1,410 to 1,420 sq ft;
• you want a fitted kitchen, digital lock and inverter air-conditioners at handover;
• you want a 50 m lap pool and a badminton or pickleball hall;
• you can wait for completion, expected in 2029.

Pick Ambience Residence if…

• you want the lower price per square foot, from about RM 670;
• you need four bedrooms and three bathrooms at 1,080 sq ft;
• you commute by MRT on the Putrajaya Line, with Taman Naga Emas MRT about 800 m away;
• you want completion earlier, expected around Q3 2027, and are fine fitting out a bare unit.
