About Jinjang Selatan

Jinjang Selatan is listed in our directory as an apartment development. Apartments are a common choice in Kuala Lumpur for people who want to live in the city without the upkeep of a landed house, both for owner-occupiers and tenants. The development shares its name with the surrounding neighbourhood, so it helps to use the full development name when searching for listings or speaking to agents. That way you can be sure you are looking at units in this development and not just in the wider area. Our directory records nine developments in the same area, so buyers and renters have other options to compare if a unit here does not suit.

Location and neighbourhood

Jinjang Selatan is in the Batu area on the north side of Kuala Lumpur. Jinjang is a long-established, largely residential part of the city, with a mix of older homes, flats and local shops serving the community. The northern side of the city tends to appeal to people who want a Kuala Lumpur address away from the busier city centre and business district. Conditions can differ from one street to the next, so visit at different times of day. This lets you get a feel for traffic, noise and parking, and see which everyday amenities are within easy reach for your household.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before committing, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure of the property and the current maintenance fees and sinking fund charges. Ask too which facilities are provided and how well they are maintained. View the actual unit rather than relying on photos, and check the condition of the wiring, plumbing, windows and any signs of damp or leaks. Look at the common areas, lifts and car park, as these say a lot about how the building is managed. If you are buying, check the title and any restrictions with your lawyer, and confirm there are no outstanding fees on the unit. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree in writing on the deposit, repairs and what furniture is included.
