East Kuala Lumpur area guide

About East Kuala Lumpur

The east of KL was rubber estates and tin land on the roads to Cheras, Ampang and Gombak. Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) built two of its own new townships here: Bandar Tun Razak, started in 1975, and Wangsa Maju, formed in 1984 on the old Hawthornden rubber estate. Private estates such as Taman Midah, which Bolton Properties began in 1968, and Taman Connaught grew up along Jalan Cheras.

The border with Selangor runs right along the edge of this zone. Cheras carries on south into Hulu Langat and Kajang, Taman Keramat (AU1 to AU5) and Taman Melawati sit in Ulu Klang, Selangor, and Ampang Jaya starts just past Keramat. Those Selangor areas are run by the Ampang Jaya or Kajang councils, not DBKL. This guide covers only the Kuala Lumpur side.

Household income

DOSM publishes income by parliament seat, not by neighbourhood, and the east is spread over five seats. In 2024 the median household earned RM 10,228 a month in the Cheras seat, RM 9,360 in Bandar Tun Razak, RM 11,180 in Setiawangsa, RM 9,974 in Wangsa Maju and RM 10,669 in Titiwangsa. The KL median was RM 10,802.

These seats also take in places outside this zone: Cheras includes Pudu and Jalan Loke Yew, Bandar Tun Razak includes Bandar Tasik Selatan and Sungai Besi, Wangsa Maju includes Setapak and Gombak, and Titiwangsa includes Kampung Baru. DOSM estimates 199,600 people in the Bandar Tun Razak seat and 141,700 in the Cheras seat in 2024.

House prices per square foot

In NAPIC sales a condominium or apartment in our East KL buildings sold for a median of RM 411 psf in 2024 and RM 427 psf in 2025, against RM 538 psf for all of Kuala Lumpur in 2025. Inside the zone, Wangsa Maju came to RM 438 psf and Cheras to RM 394 psf in 2025.

Flats are a large share of the homes here. A flat sold for a median of RM 300,000 in 2024 and a low-cost flat for RM 200,000. These are small samples of matched buildings, so treat them as a guide, not a valuation.

Median sold price	2024	2025	Jan–Jun 2026
Condominium / apartment	RM 411 psf · RM 450,000 (288 sales)	RM 427 psf · RM 480,000 (131 sales)	RM 425 psf · RM 460,000 (41 sales)
Flat	RM 380 psf · RM 300,000 (117 sales)	RM 383 psf · RM 250,000 (34 sales)	RM 403 psf · RM 327,500 (14 sales)
Low-cost flat	RM 324 psf · RM 200,000 (46 sales)	RM 350 psf · RM 230,000 (13 sales)	RM 344 psf · RM 220,000 (11 sales)

NAPIC counts all of Kuala Lumpur as one district, so these are the sales in the 88 buildings of this area that we matched by name in NAPIC Open Sales Data (JPPH). psf = price ÷ floor area of the unit. Under 10 sales shows "Too few sales". Recent months are not complete yet.
