At an indicative entry price around RM170k, Santorini is one of the lowest-priced ways into a new home in Ipoh. That naturally raises the question every buyer should ask: what is the catch, and who is it actually right for?

Why the price gets attention
RM170k in Ipoh buys you very little landed property — you would be looking at older subsale homes needing work. As a brand-new condominium unit, it becomes one of the most reachable entry points in the city, especially for singles, young couples and first-time buyers who want to stop renting.
With typical 90% financing, an entry unit at that level means a down payment in the RM17k range rather than the RM50k–60k a landed new launch would need. That gap is the whole reason this project keeps coming up.
What you are trading off
- No land. Condominiums appreciate differently from landed homes in Ipoh, where land is what tends to hold value best.
- Maintenance fees and sinking fund are ongoing, every month, forever. Ask for the exact rate per square foot before you book.
- Space. Entry-level units suit one to three people comfortably. A growing family will outgrow it.
- Resale pool. Condos in Ipoh sell to a narrower market than landed homes, so plan on holding rather than flipping.
Who it genuinely suits
A good fit if you are a first-time buyer wanting to own instead of rent, a single professional or young couple, an out-of-town buyer wanting a base in Ipoh, or an investor targeting a lower-capital entry.
Not the right fit if you have or plan to have children soon, you want land, or you dislike ongoing monthly fees.

Compare with the alternatives
If your budget stretches a little further, a landed home in Chemor starts from around RM284k and gives you land. If you want to stay with a condo but be in the city centre, look at Ipoh Town. Full picture on our Botani projects page.
