Taman Desa is a well-established residential area in Kuala Lumpur, developed in the 1970s and 1980s with primarily landed properties like terrace and detached houses. Known for its low-density layout, lush greenery, and peaceful environment, it quickly became a popular choice for families.

As Kuala Lumpur grew, demand for housing in Taman Desa increased, leading to the introduction of condominiums and serviced apartments in the 1990s and 2000s. Despite modernization, the area has retained its low-density appeal and strategic location near the city center. Recognizing its potential, developers have launched upscale projects like The Atas by Maxim Global Bhd, further enhancing its property value and appeal.
