What nearby homes sell and rent for
Both are in Selangor, where the reviews have asking rents only.
- Around Zenia: Ara Hill, with only a few listings, asks RM 4,000 to 5,900 a month (mostly RM 5,500) for 1,916 to 2,200 sq ft. Tropicana Grande asks RM 8,000 to 9,000 for 2,283 to 2,284 sq ft, RM 8,999 to 12,000 (mostly RM 9,000) for 2,570 to 2,733 sq ft and RM 12,000 to 18,000 (mostly RM 14,000) for 3,311 to 3,666 sq ft. The Parkhomes have no like-for-like rent reference.

These are existing buildings, so the figures show what owners there ask today, not a forecast for either project. Asking rents are not signed leases, so treat them as a ceiling.
My view: who should pick which
Both are for families who want landed-house space without the landed house, and they go about it differently. Zenia does it with land: 55 acres, about 20 homes an acre, blocks set around a green spine with a hill and pond, facilities over four levels, and two to six car parks with each Condovilla. What I would weigh is time and surroundings, with completion expected in 2030 and future development planned around the site. Stellar does it with the building: 88 homes on 1.5 acres, private lift lobbies, 11 ft ceilings, dual frontage and walls you can remove, in a neighbourhood that is already finished, with the LRT about 300 m away. What I would weigh there is the SPRINT Highway about 75 m away, the school buildings in front of some lower floors, and a bare handover without air-conditioners.
Pick Zenia if…
- you want a gated development with facilities spread over four levels, including a kindergarten
- you need three or more car parks, or more than 2,530 sq ft
- you want the lower entry price, with Condovillas from RM 1.3 million
- you want a home handed over with air-conditioning, kitchen cabinets, hood and hob
- you can wait until 2030
Pick Stellar Damansara if…
- you want to move in soon, with completion expected in 2026
- you want established Damansara Jaya, with Atria and The Starling within 1 km
- you want the LRT about 300 m away
- you value a building of 88 homes and a private lift lobby over a long facility list
- you plan to design the interior yourself
