How to Choose the Right Property in Taman Desa for Your Modern Lifestyle

Mar 16, 2025

When buying a new property, many buyers start with the same questions: “What type of property should I choose?” or “Which developer should I consider?”. For first-time homebuyers with little or no experience, these questions often lead to uncertainty and the need for careful research before making a decision.

With a wide range of property types available in Taman Desa, buyers are presented with more choices and factors to consider. Each type of property offers a different living experience, so understanding what best suits your lifestyle is essential.

Subsale Property for Sale in Taman Desa

Among the many properties available in Taman Desa, you should first understand the difference between subsale units and new launches. Subsale units refer to properties that have been previously owned and are now available for purchase.

The Advantages of Subsale Property

Immediate Availability: You can move in as soon as the legal transfer concludes.

Proven Occupancy: You can see the actual physical condition of the building and the neighbourhood density.

The Risks of Subsale Property

No Warranty: Subsale units are sold on an “as is, where is” basis. If the plumbing fails a week after purchase, the cost falls entirely on the buyer.

Renovation Costs: Older layouts often require significant structural updates to meet modern standards.

Financing Margins: Banks may offer lower loan-to-value (LTV) margins for properties exceeding a certain age.

New Landed & High-Rise Residential Properties

While subsale properties offer the convenience of being ready to move in, you may also want to consider new properties, especially if you are looking for more privacy, or long-term family living. New properties are units being sold for the first time by developers.

These homes are typically designed with modern layouts, updated facilities, and current safety and energy standards. Properties in Taman Desa, whether subsale or new launches, generally fall into two main categories: 

Landed Properties

Landed properties are homes built directly on land that you own. This category includes terrace houses, semi-detached homes, and bungalows. Compared to high-rise residences, landed properties usually require higher maintenance and a larger financial commitment, but they offer greater privacy and space.

High-Rise Apartments & Condominiums

High-rise apartments and condominiums are residential units within multi-storey buildings and typically come with shared facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, security services, and designated parking. Units can vary in size and layout. 

Malay Mail reports that residential construction activity surged by over 30% in early 2025, with new property launches more than doubling compared to 2024. This suggests that both landed and high-rise developments in Taman Desa are part of a vibrant market responding to evolving buyer needs.

However, if you prefer modern living with lower maintenance and access to on-site facilities, high-rise properties are often a practical choice.

New Launch High-Rise Property in Taman Desa to Consider

New Straits Times reports that experts forecast a single-digit rise in residential transaction volume and value in the Klang Valley in 2025, highlighting the steady market for well-located developments like Taman Desa.

High-rise living offers both comfort and convenience, while also creating a sense of community through shared spaces. For those who value the convenience of high-rise living, M Aspira by Mah Sing is one serviced apartment development in Taman Desa worth considering.

Yes. As a new residential project, it is covered by a standard Defects Liability Period.

Not necessarily. While price-per-square-foot may be higher, the entry cost (down payment) for new launches is often lower due to developer packages.

Generally, no. Most older buildings lack the electrical infrastructure for EV chargers, which is a standard feature in M Aspira.
