Layan Gardens has the lower entry: from ~$510,505. Surfhouse Residences costs more, but compare price per sqm and stage — ask us for a unit-level calculation.
Layan Gardens is completed — move in or rent out immediately, no construction risk. Surfhouse Residences is under construction: cheaper entry and instalments, but a horizon to handover.
