Kampar: Condos, Apartments and Area Guide

Kampar was founded in 1887 and boomed with the tin mines of the Kinta Valley. The old town has two main streets, Jalan Gopeng and Jalan Idris, lined with pre-war shophouses, coffee shops and goldsmiths.

Newer housing grew up around Taman Bandar Baru, which has a large student population from UTAR and TAR UMT. The town is the seat of the Kampar District Council.

Kampar Utara, Taman Bandar Baru, Jalan Gopeng and the other town polling districts belong to the Keranji state seat, and Kampar Barat to Malim Nawar. Both are in the Kampar parliament seat (P.070).

DOSM put the seat's median household income at RM 4,110 a month in 2024, for about 107,500 people. The seat also covers Malim Nawar, Tanjung Tualang and Jeram, so it is wider than the town.

Our 5 matched Kampar buildings had 27 condo sales in 2024 at a median of RM 419 psf (RM 391,000). 22 of the 27 sales were at Kampar Lake Campus Condominium, so read it as that project more than the whole area.

The 2025 sales so far show RM 412 psf over 10 sales, again mostly in the same project. Older flats such as Taman Kampar Perdana sell far lower, but with too few sales to show a median.

About 33 km south, by Federal Route 1 or the KTM West Coast Line.

In our matched buildings it was RM 419 psf in 2024, but most of those sales were at Kampar Lake Campus.
