Parkland Avenue by the Sea: Which Unit Type Delivers Best ROI?

1-Room, 2-Room, or 3-Room: Which Generates Highest Returns?

Parkland Avenue by the Sea offers three unit types: 1-room, 2-room, and 3-room floor plans. Each has different investment costs, rental potential, and ROI.

As the official Airbnb manager for Parkland Avenue, we've projected revenue performance for each unit type based on Melaka market data, beachfront location advantages, and our 8 years of experience managing 100+ properties.

Here's our complete analysis to help you choose the optimal unit type.
