Old Klang Road
Kuala Lumpur's
Connected Corridor
KL's oldest trunk road, reborn as a freehold-scarce, rail-linked address.
From Seputeh near Mid Valley City to Bandar Sunway, Jalan Klang Lama threads together mature neighbourhoods, two KTM stations, six highways and a forthcoming MRT3 line — an established, tenant-deep corridor minutes from the city centre. This is your independent area guide, market snapshot and new-launch shortlist.

What & where is Old Klang Road?
Old Klang Road (Jalan Klang Lama) is one of Kuala Lumpur's oldest and first major roads — historically the original route connecting KL to Port Klang, predating the Federal Highway. It runs roughly 11 kilometres from Seputeh near Mid Valley City in the south of KL to Bandar Sunway in Petaling Jaya. Today it is a fully built-out, mature residential-and-commercial corridor of middle to upper-middle-income neighbourhoods, prized for central access without KLCC-level prices, deep rental demand, and a steady wave of renewal led by new high-rise launches.
Character. Old Klang Road is the definition of a "lived-in" address. Rather than a single planned township, it is a patchwork of established taman built up over decades, knitted together by the road itself and its frontage of shoplots, hawker stalls, car showrooms, hardware trades and neighbourhood malls. The result is a corridor that already has everything — schools, clinics, wet markets, food, and big-box retail — and simply keeps modernising in place.
Why it endures. Three things keep Old Klang Road relevant cycle after cycle: location (it wraps the southern flank of the KL city centre and Mid Valley), connectivity (KTM rail today, MRT3 tomorrow, and a knot of expressways), and scarcity — much of the land is held freehold and long built-out, so genuinely new freehold high-rise stock is the exception, not the rule. For tenants it offers convenience and price; for owners it offers liquidity and resilience.

Neighbourhoods along the corridor
A quick orientation to the established taman that make up Old Klang Road, from the city end down toward Sunway.
Seputeh & Taman Seputeh
The city-facing end, neighbouring Mid Valley City and KL Eco City — leafy, upmarket and the most connected stretch of the corridor.
Taman Desa
A self-contained hillside enclave of condos and shoplots with its own dining scene and the KMI Taman Desa medical centre; perennially popular with renters.
Taman OUG & Taman Gembira
Overseas Union Garden — a classic, densely amenitised neighbourhood anchored by Pearl Point Mall and the Petaling KTM station.
Kuchai Lama & Kuchai Entrepreneurs' Park
A busy commercial-residential mix and SME hub, with newer high-rises rising along its arteries and quick highway access.
Taman United & Taman Lian Hoe
Long-established residential pockets close to the rail line, the kind of "low-drama" rental streets professionals and families gravitate to.
Toward Bandar Sunway (PJS)
The corridor's southern tail flows into Petaling Jaya's PJS neighbourhoods and the Sunway township ecosystem.
Rail today, MRT3 tomorrow, highways now
Old Klang Road's enduring advantage is access. Two KTM Komuter stations put KL Sentral within roughly 15 minutes by rail, six expressways fan out from the corridor, and the future MRT3 Circle Line adds a proposed Jalan Klang Lama station.

The MRT3 Circle Line received its Final Railway Scheme approval in July 2025; following public-inspection feedback the project adopted a lighter "i-MRT" system, with construction expected from 2027 and full operations targeted around 2032. The proposed Jalan Klang Lama (S28) station would add a third rail mode to the corridor. Future infrastructure is subject to the relevant authorities' timelines.

Old Klang Road market snapshot, 2026
A mature, tenanted corridor where pricing is grounded by genuine demand rather than speculation — and where freehold scarcity gives new freehold stock an edge.
*Indicative area figures per EdgeProp Jalan Klang Lama (Old Klang Road) area outlook; 25th–75th percentile transactions ~RM315,000–RM940,000. Cross-check Brickz.my transacted records before relying on any number.
- Rental-led, low-drama market. Old Klang Road is repeatedly named among Kuala Lumpur's stronger rental-yield areas, drawing steady demand from working professionals, students and families who want central access without paying city-core rents.
- Freehold scarcity. Much of the corridor is long built-out on freehold land, so genuinely new freehold high-rise launches are uncommon — and tend to command attention from both owner-occupiers and investors.
- Mind oversupply at the micro level. A commonly cited buyer mistake in KL is choosing a tower in an oversupplied pocket where many near-identical units chase the same tenants. Unit mix, building positioning and walkable transit matter more than the headline area name.
- Yields depend on strategy. Whole-unit gross yields in the corridor are typically modest (often cited in the ~3–5% range for studios/compact units); room-by-room or managed strategies can lift gross returns higher, with correspondingly more management. Always model net of costs and vacancy.

Old Klang Road — frequently asked
Old Klang Road (Jalan Klang Lama) is one of Kuala Lumpur's oldest trunk roads — historically the original route linking KL to Port Klang. Today it is an established ~11km residential-and-commercial corridor running from Seputeh near Mid Valley City to Bandar Sunway, known for mature neighbourhoods, deep tenant demand, central access without KLCC-level prices, and ongoing renewal led by new high-rise launches.
It is widely regarded as a steady, rental-led market and is consistently cited among KL's stronger rental-yield areas thanks to genuine tenant depth. Per EdgeProp area data, the median transacted price is around RM600,000 at roughly RM416 psf (≈386 residential transactions across 72 projects, Apr 2025–Mar 2026). Freehold land is comparatively scarce, so new freehold launches attract particular interest. Figures are indicative — verify current data and model net of costs before committing.
It is served by the KTM Komuter Port Klang Line via Petaling and Jalan Templer stations, with KL Sentral roughly 15 minutes away by rail and Mid Valley a few minutes further. The future MRT3 Circle Line includes a proposed Jalan Klang Lama station (S28); the line received its Final Railway Scheme approval in 2025, with construction expected from 2027 and operations targeted around 2032. By road, residents reach the NPE, Federal Highway, KESAS, MEX and the KL–Seremban Highway.
The corridor is fully built-out: schools such as SMK Petaling (~350m) and SJK(C) Yuk Chyun (~1.4km), with the University Malaya campus about 10 minutes away; healthcare including Assunta Hospital, KMI Taman Desa and PPUM; and retail from Pearl Point, Bloomsvale and The Scott Garden up to Mid Valley Megamall. Recreation ranges from Sports Arena Sentosa (~500m) to Bukit Jalil National Stadium. Distances are approximate.
The headline freehold new launch on the corridor is M Aurora by Mah Sing Group — two 46-storey towers, 1,544 units, built-ups 556–1,019 sqft, indicatively from RM339,000*, about 500m to KTM Jalan Templer, with targeted completion in September 2030. See the M Aurora project page for floor plans, the full price guide and an independent analysis.
