Over the last decade, the buzz has been all about high-rise living. Condos and serviced apartments dominated the skyline — and the conversation. But in 2025, landed properties are making a strong comeback, especially in suburban and emerging areas of Malaysia. Here's why terrace houses are becoming the preferred choice again for many buyers.
1. Work-from-Home Lifestyle Boosts Demand
Post-pandemic living has changed our preferences. With more people working from home, space and privacy have become top priorities. Terrace homes offer multiple rooms, backyard areas, and even private home offices — features that condos often lack.
2. More Value per Square Foot
Compared to high-rise units, landed homes in townships like Rawang, Semenyih, and Nilai offer significantly more living space for the same price — or even less. Families are choosing these homes for their long-term value and practicality.
3. Gated Communities Provide Security
Modern terrace developments now come with gated and guarded features, playgrounds, and landscaped parks — combining the space of a landed home with the security of a condominium.
4. Urban Spillover = Capital Growth
As KL and PJ property prices remain high, more buyers are turning to fringe areas. Developers are responding with well-planned townships complete with malls, schools, and public transport links — fueling future appreciation potential.
5. Suitable for Multigenerational Living
Terrace houses offer flexible layouts, often with ground floor bedrooms and generous living areas — ideal for elderly parents, growing kids, or even renting out rooms. It’s a layout that supports real Malaysian living.
Conclusion
While high-rise condos still serve their purpose, terrace homes are proving to be smarter, more sustainable investments in 2025 and beyond. If you're in the market for space, value, and lifestyle — it’s time to take a fresh look at landed properties.
