Everyone keeps saying “location, location, location” — but in KL, a better way to say it is:
“Location… next to MRT/LRT.”

And here’s why the data proves it

.;

What the market shows
    •    According to CBRE WTW’s 2025 Property Market Outlook, residential units near MRT/LRT stations in Klang Valley continue to show higher rental demand and lower vacancy rates.
    •    Properties within walkable distance (400–800m) to transit often secure 5%–15% higher rental rates compared to similar units that require driving.
    •    Areas benefiting the most:
Cheras / Maluri
Old Klang Road / Kuchai Lama
Bukit Jalil / Sri Petaling
PJ / Subang Jaya
    •    More young professionals prefer renting near transit because of rising transport cost + lower car ownership.

In simple words:
Being near a train line makes your property easier to rent out.

.;

Why transit still matters in 2025
    1.    Traffic isn’t getting better
People will pay more to avoid jams and parking nightmares.
    2.    MRT3 is coming
This future circle line will connect more neighbourhoods and create new hotspots — especially KL South and Cheras.
    3.    Workplace flexibility
Even if WFH exists, people still need easy access to coworking spaces, offices, and city centres.

.;

What this means for buyers & investors

If you want rental income → choose transit-connected projects
If you plan to rent out to students / young executives → even better
Even if price growth is slow, rental yield remains strong when location is transit-linked

Not every condo is a good investment — but
condo + MRT/LRT = always more demand.

Takeaway

In KL’s property market, fancy facilities don’t guarantee tenants.
Transit does.
