Wangsa Maju: Condos, Apartments and Area Guide

Wangsa Maju was formed in 1984, on land that had been the Hawthornden rubber estates of Setapak. It was the second new township built by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), after Bandar Tun Razak, as a joint venture with Paremba Berhad. Many flats were built to sell or rent to low and middle-income families. The commercial centre is the Kuala Lumpur Suburban Centre (KLSC).

The township has Sections 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 10 (there is no Section 3, 7, 8 or 9), plus nearby estates such as Taman Sri Rampai, Desa Setapak and Wangsa Melawati. In 2021 DBKL announced plans to turn Section 1 into KL's first zero-carbon township, with walkways, cycle paths and green spaces.

The name is confusing: the township is split between two parliament seats. Sections 1, 2 and 4 are in the Wangsa Maju seat, where the median household earned RM 9,974 a month in 2024 (RM 9,593 in 2022). Sections 5, 6 and 10 and Taman Sri Rampai are in the Setiawangsa seat, at RM 11,180. The KL median was RM 10,802.

The Wangsa Maju seat also takes in Setapak, Taman Melati and Gombak, and had 224,900 people in 2024 (DOSM estimate).

In NAPIC sales of our Wangsa Maju buildings, a condominium or apartment sold for a median of RM 394 psf in 2024 and RM 438 psf in 2025, or about RM 545,000 a unit. The KL median was RM 538 psf in 2025.

Flats sell for much less. A flat in our matched buildings sold for a median of RM 300,000 in 2024, from 19 sales.

Two stations on the LRT Kelana Jaya Line serve the township. Wangsa Maju station opened on 1 June 1999 between Section 1 and Desa Setapak. Sri Rampai was built at the same time but stood as a ghost station until it opened on 24 December 2010. Trains run through KLCC and KL Sentral to Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya.

Jalan Genting Klang (Federal Route 2) links Wangsa Maju with the city and Setapak, the MRR2 leads to Ampang, and the Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE) cuts through the south of the township.
