Kampar, Gopeng and Seri Iskandar: Condos, Apartments and Area Guide

Kampar was founded in 1887 as a tin town in the Kinta Valley, 33 km south of Ipoh. On 21 May 2009 it became the 10th district of Perak. The district has two mukims: Kampar, and Teja, which holds Gopeng town.

Gopeng was the most important town in the valley until about 1890, when Ipoh took over. Seri Iskandar, to the west in Perak Tengah district, grew around the campuses of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS and UiTM.

DOSM put the median household income of Kampar district at RM 4,538 a month in 2024, for about 99,900 people. Perak Tengah district, which includes Seri Iskandar, had RM 4,685.

Both are close to the Perak median of RM 4,687. Gopeng town is part of the Gopeng parliament seat, which reaches into the south of Ipoh, so we use the district figures here.

For all NAPIC sales in Kampar district, condos had a 2024 median of RM 419 psf (27 sales). 22 of the 27 sales were at Kampar Lake Campus Condominium, so read it as that project more than the whole area. Flats had a median of RM 87 psf over 13 sales.

Landed homes give a broader view. A 1-storey terrace in Kampar district had a 2024 median of RM 268,000 (208 sales), and in Perak Tengah RM 230,000 (174 sales).
