Honest Review
Is D'Evia Residences worth RM498,100?
A straight read on the Five Elements masterplan bet, what the MRT distance really means day to day, and who this project actually suits — not the brochure version.
D'Evia draws two kinds of buyer: someone who wants a transit-linked home in Kwasa Damansara for under RM800,000, and an investor who likes the idea of getting into a state-backed MRT township early. Both cases have merit, but they rest on different assumptions — worth separating before you decide.
The Concept
The Five Elements bet
D'Evia is one of five signature residences within Kwasa Damansara's Five Elements of Nature masterplan by EXSIM — Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Aether. D'Evia embodies Water: clarity, flow and quiet renewal.
D'Evia is one residence within that plan, carrying GreenRE Green Building certification for its sustainable design. The appeal of buying into a masterplan this early is straightforward: land inside a state-anchored MRT township like this doesn't come to market often, and early pricing tends to be the cheapest it will ever be. The trade-off is just as straightforward — Kwasa Damansara's retail, office and street-level activity fill in over years, not on the day you collect your keys. A buyer comfortable holding through that build-out benefits most; someone who wants a finished neighbourhood on day one should weigh that first.
Location
What 600m to the MRT actually means
~600m to Kwasa Sentral MRT — that's a genuine walk, not a covered lobby-to-platform connection. Fine most evenings, less fine with groceries in a downpour. What it does deliver is real Klang Valley reach: the Guthrie Corridor Expressway, NKVE and DASH Highway all run through the township, and HELP University, SEGi University College, Tropicana Gardens Mall and IOI Mall Damansara are all within roughly 2.5–3.5km.
For a household that drives day to day — which is most of the Klang Valley — that combination of MRT optionality plus highway access is the real draw, more than the exact metres to the station entrance.
Unit Types
Which layout to pick
Type A
From RM498,100*
657 sq ft · 2 bed · 2 bath
- Compact 2-bedroom layout
- Ideal for first home buyers & investors
- Limited units — smallest quantum, easiest entry point
Type B
From RM700,000*
958 sq ft · 3 bed · 2 bath
- 3-bedroom family layout
- Dual bathroom convenience
- Balcony option available
Type C
From RM799,400*
1,109 sq ft · 4 bed · 2 bath
- Largest 4-bedroom layout
- Suited to multi-generational living
- Balcony option available
Type A is the most liquid resale and rental size in this belt if you're buying to let or as a couple. Type C's 4-bedroom, 1,109 sq ft layout makes more sense as an own-stay for a larger family than as a rental unit, given the higher entry price relative to demand at that size.
D'Evia vs D'Nuri
Which one actually fits you
These two get compared constantly because they sit on the same site — but eligibility decides it first, not preference. D'Nuri Residences @ Kwasa Damansara is a fixed-price RM270,000 Rumah Selangorku unit restricted to eligible Bumiputera, first-time buyers under the income cap, with resale restricted for 5 years. D'Evia is open to any buyer, with larger 657–1,109 sq ft layouts from RM498,100 and no resale restriction.
If you qualify for D'Nuri and want the lowest entry cost, take it — it's the straightforward pick. If you don't qualify, want a bigger unit, or want to resell or rent freely, D'Evia is the one to look at.

The honest fit
Makes sense for you if:
- You want MRT optionality but drive day to day anyway
- You're comfortable holding through a township's early years
- You don't qualify for D'Nuri's Rumah Selangorku restrictions, or want a larger unit
- Green certification and considered design genuinely matter to you
Weaker fit if:
- You need a covered, step-out-the-door MRT connection
- You want a fully built-out neighbourhood on handover day
- You're relying on a fast capital jump in the first few years — this is a hold, not a flip
FAQ
Questions worth asking before you book
Is D'Evia Residences worth buying?
It depends on what you're buying for. As an own-stay home inside a genuinely transit-linked township, with GreenRE certification and a developer that's completed similar projects before, the fundamentals are solid. As a pure investment, the honest caveat is that Kwasa Damansara is still a forming township — its retail, office and lifestyle infrastructure fills in over years, not on the day you collect your keys. Buyers comfortable holding through that build-out tend to be happiest here; those wanting an established neighbourhood on day one should weigh that trade-off first.
Should I choose D'Evia or D'Nuri?
They're not really substitutes — eligibility decides it first. D'Nuri is a fixed-price RM270,000 Rumah Selangorku unit restricted to eligible Bumiputera, first-time buyers under the income cap. If you qualify and want the lowest entry cost, D'Nuri is the straightforward pick. D'Evia is open to any buyer, with larger 657–1,109 sq ft layouts from RM498,100 and no eligibility restriction — the pick if you don't qualify for D'Nuri, want a bigger unit, or want free resale without the 5-year restriction D'Nuri carries.
What's the drawback of buying at D'Evia?
Two honest ones. First, 600m to Kwasa Sentral MRT is a walk, not a lobby-to-platform connection — fine on a dry evening, less fine with shopping bags in a downpour. Second, this is still early in Kwasa Damansara's build-out, so the malls, offices and street-level activity that make a transit township feel finished are still arriving. Neither is a dealbreaker, but both are worth weighing against a completed, established neighbourhood at a similar price elsewhere in the Klang Valley.
Is D'Evia freehold or leasehold?
D'Evia is a leasehold development. This is sourced from public property listings rather than the developer's own brochure — confirm the exact tenure and lease term against the Sale and Purchase Agreement before booking.
Is D'Evia good for rental income?
The demand-side logic is reasonable: transit-oriented developments on an active MRT line tend to attract tenants who work in the Klang Valley but want to avoid a long commute, and HELP University and SEGi University College nearby add a student-tenant pool.
