How MRT 3 Will Impact Property Prices in Kuala Lumpur

The MRT 3 Circle Line is one of Malaysia’s most anticipated infrastructure projects, connecting key hotspots across Kuala Lumpur and beyond. But for property investors and homebuyers, the big question is — how will it affect property prices?

1. Why MRT 3 Matters for Property Values

History has shown us that properties near public transport — especially MRT and LRT stations — tend to enjoy higher capital appreciation and better rental demand.
With MRT 3, connectivity across KL will be faster, more seamless, and will link multiple existing lines into one massive loop.

2. Areas to Watch

• Mont Kiara / Sri Hartamas — Already popular with expats, but MRT 3 could boost demand even further.

• Old Klang Road (OKR) — Traditionally congested, but improved access might push property prices up.

• Bandar Malaysia — A key interchange for MRT 3, likely to see significant commercial and residential development.

• Cheras — Affordable now, but expect prices to rise once MRT 3 is complete.

3. When Will Prices Start Moving? #

Don’t wait until the MRT is completed — history shows that prices often start climbing as soon as construction begins, especially for projects within walking distance of future stations.

4. Should You Invest Now?

YES if:

• You’re buying for long-term gains (5–10 years).

• You can secure a unit within 500m of a confirmed MRT 3 station.

Maybe wait if:

• You’re hoping for short-term flipping. MRT 3 is a long project, and quick profits might be difficult.

Pro Tip: Look for projects with confirmed station locations nearby — don’t gamble on “possible” future stations.
