Thinking of Buying a Condo? Here’s Why Taman Desa Should Be on Your List

Jan 14, 2026

In recent years, condominium living has become increasingly popular, especially in Kuala Lumpur. A recent Malay Mail report shows that about 84% of Gen Z homebuyers in Malaysia prefer buying high-rise condos or apartments, a sharp shift from older generations who favor landed homes. This highlights how condos are growing in appeal, especially among urban young buyers.

However, with so many options available, choosing the right condominium can feel overwhelming. The key is to narrow your choices based on what matters most to your lifestyle, and above all, location. One of the most promising areas to consider is Taman Desa, a well-established neighbourhood that continues to attract a wide range of buyers.

The Strategic Location of Taman Desa

Situated in the south-western part of Kuala Lumpur, Taman Desa lies just off Old Klang Road (Jalan Klang Lama) and near the East–West Link Expressway, approximately 7 km from the city centre.

The area offers easy access to several major highways. This makes travel to various parts of the Klang Valley highly convenient, including:

  • SALAK Highway
  • Setiawangsa–Pantai Expressway
  • KL–Seremban Expressway
  • Federal Highway

In addition to road connectivity, Taman Desa is also supported by nearby public transport options. MRT Kuchai Station is located nearby, with LRT and KTM stations also within a few kilometres of Taman Desa. Residents therefore have alternative commuting options beyond driving.

Lifestyle Amenities Near Taman Desa New Launch Condo

When choosing a new condominium, lifestyle needs play an important role. Today, most homebuyers prefer to live close to essential amenities rather than travel long distances for daily conveniences.

Taman Desa is well-served by a range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Major destinations such as Mid Valley Megamall are within easy reach, while nearby urban hubs like KL Gateway Mall, NSK Trade City, and KL Eco City are all just a short drive away.

Furthermore, everyday necessities such as schools and medical facilities are readily available. Residents of Taman Desa benefit from having reputable education and healthcare options nearby, including:

Nearby Schools

  • SK Taman Desa
  • SJK(C) Kuen Cheng 1
  • SMK Taman Desa
  • Alice Smith School

Nearby Hospitals & Medical Centres

  • KMI Taman Desa Medical Centre
  • Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur
  • University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC)

As buyers become more selective and value-driven, amenities such as connectivity, lifestyle features and practical benefits are increasingly important. Business Today notes that purchasers are focusing more on properties that offer strong lifestyle benefits alongside core practical factors like price and location.

Choosing an Apartment in Taman Desa for Condo-Style Living

While there is a wide range of new launch condominiums available in Taman Desa, it is also worth considering modern apartments that offer a similar lifestyle. Many apartments today provide the same facilities typically associated with condominiums, such as swimming pools, gyms, and gated-and-guarded security.

One apartment development in Taman Desa worth considering is M Aspira by Mah Sing Group Berhad. Designed for modern urban living, M Aspira offers a range of thoughtfully planned features, including:

  • Grand entrance
  • Sky lounge
  • EV charging stations
  • Multi-tier security access

Besides, M Aspira offers lifestyle-focused facilities, including co-working spaces, jacuzzis, indoor badminton courts, and a floating pavilion. This makes it well suited to contemporary city lifestyles.
