Genting Highlands: Condos, Apartments and Area Guide

Lim Goh Tong set up Genting Highlands Berhad on 27 April 1965 and built a private road up from Genting Sempah, finished in 1969. The first hotel opened in 1971, and the government gave the resort Malaysia's only casino licence. First World Hotel, with 7,351 rooms, is listed by Guinness as the largest hotel in the world by room count.

The resort straddles the state line. The eastern part, with the hilltop, is in Bentong district, Pahang, and was gazetted as the Genting subdistrict in 2019 under the Bentong Municipal Council. The western slopes are in Hulu Selangor. Gohtong Jaya, at about 1,000 m, is the service town halfway up, named after the founder.

The Pahang side of Genting Highlands is a polling district (089/34/08) of the Ketari state seat, inside the Bentong parliament seat (P.089). DOSM put the median household income of the whole seat at RM 5,015 a month in 2024, up from RM 4,691 in 2022, for about 123,500 people.

The seat also covers Bentong town, Karak, Bukit Tinggi, Janda Baik and FELDA schemes, so it is a wide average. The Selangor side of the resort is in the Hulu Selangor seat, which we do not cover here.

NAPIC gives the district but not the resort, so we matched our buildings by name. Only 4 of them showed up. Their 33 sales in 2023 had a median of RM 550 psf (RM 455,000). 25 of the 33 sales were at Genting View Resort, so that figure mostly shows one project. In 2024 there were 11 sales at RM 497 psf. 8 of the 11 sales were at Genting View Resort, so that figure mostly shows one project.

A wider guide is all condo and apartment sales in Bentong district, which takes in Genting: the median was RM 415 psf in 2024 (RM 375,000, 65 sales). The 36 sales recorded for 2025 so far had a median of RM 478 psf.
