Meru and Chemor area guide

About Meru and Chemor

Chemor is the northernmost of the old Kinta tin towns. It is first recorded in 1892, when a police station opened there, and a railway station followed in 1896 after a large tin find.

Meru lies just north of the city. Bandar Meru Raya holds the Amanjaya bus terminal, and the Meru Golf Club is in nearby Jelapang.

Pekan Chemor, Chemor Indah, Kelabang, Meru and Meru Raya are polling districts of the Manjoi state seat, inside the Tambun parliament seat (P.063). DOSM put Tambun's median household income at RM 5,546 a month in 2024, up from RM 5,635 in 2022.

The seat is large, with about 266,800 people, and it also covers Tambun and Tanjung Rambutan. Kinta district had a median of RM 5,136.

House prices per square foot

In the 4 buildings here that we matched in NAPIC, condo sales in 2024 had a median of RM 241 psf (RM 261,000). 45 of the 60 sales were at Prima Meru, so read it as that project more than the whole area.

Across all of Kinta, the 2024 condo median was RM 274 psf. Many homes around Meru and Chemor are landed; for Kinta, a 1-storey terrace had a 2024 median of RM 270,000.

NAPIC gives the district but not the area or town, so these are the sales in the 4 buildings of this area that we matched by name in NAPIC Open Sales Data (JPPH). One project selling many units can pull a year up or down. psf = price ÷ floor area of the unit. Under 10 sales shows "Too few sales". Recent months are not complete yet.
