North Kuala Lumpur area guide

About North Kuala Lumpur

The north of KL grew from tin mines, rubber estates and the railway. Kepong began as a tin-mining village opened by Yap Ah Loy in the late 1870s. Sentul was a railway hub with the old Federated Malay States Railway depot and workshop. Setapak was mining and rubber land on the road to Gombak.

Today it is mostly housing: older flats and terraces, many low-cost and PPR blocks, and newer condos and serviced residences near the MRT and LRT stations. All of it is run by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL). Several places with a "KL North" name sit just over the border in Selangor: Selayang, Gombak, Batu Caves, Taman Ehsan and Desa Jaya. This guide covers only the Kuala Lumpur side.

Household income

DOSM publishes income by parliament seat, not by neighbourhood. The north is spread over five seats. The median household earned RM 10,570 a month in 2024 in the Kepong seat, RM 9,929 in Batu (Sentul and Jalan Ipoh) and RM 9,974 in Wangsa Maju (most of Setapak). Bandar Menjalara is in the Segambut seat, where the median is RM 15,867, but that seat also takes in Mont Kiara, Sri Hartamas and TTDI. The KL median was RM 10,802.

The Batu seat had 228,600 people in 2024 and Kepong 110,800 (DOSM estimates).

House prices per square foot

In NAPIC sales matched to our buildings, a condominium or apartment in North KL sold for a median of RM 378 psf in 2024 and RM 373 psf in 2025. That was the lowest of the five KL zones in these sales (East RM 427 psf, South RM 405 psf in 2025) and well under the all-KL median of RM 538 psf.

Within the zone, Sentul (RM 396 psf) and Kepong (RM 392 psf) sold higher per square foot in 2025 than Setapak (RM 352 psf) and Jalan Ipoh (RM 353 psf). Samples are small, so treat these as a guide.

Median sold price	2024	2025	Jan–Jun 2026
Condominium / apartment	RM 378 psf · RM 420,000 (362 sales)	RM 373 psf · RM 400,000 (177 sales)	RM 365 psf · RM 400,000 (66 sales)
Flat	RM 357 psf · RM 210,000 (19 sales)	Too few sales (6)	Too few sales (3)
Low-cost flat	RM 268 psf · RM 181,000 (22 sales)	Too few sales (7)	Too few sales (4)

NAPIC counts all of Kuala Lumpur as one district, so these are the sales in the 112 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.
