The perfect spot for working professionals

Malaysian or expatriate, if you’re young and relocating to Kuala Lumpur for career opportunities, KL Sentral and its immediate vicinity should be a top consideration for a place to rent a condo.

In this guide, we’ll explain how no other area in the Klang Valley offers what KL Sentral does. We know it sounds like marketing hyperbole, but that’s just how special this location is.

Here’s what we’ll be covering:

• The geography of the KL Sentral area
• Rental prices for condos around KL Sentral
• Three unique advantages of living here

Let’s begin.

‍

A tiny city built around a major train station

At the heart of KL Sentral is Kuala Lumpur’s main transit hub, Stesen Sentral (often called KL Sentral), which serves as the connecting point for six rail networks that collectively connect all of the Klang Valley.

Here’s a map of the various train lines in Kuala Lumpur.

While the spaghetti like strands are a bit hard to follow, you’ll notice that every line, at one point or other, passes through KL Sentral. If you think of the train tracks as blood vessels, then KL Sentral is the beating heart that links everything (pardon the corniness).

KL Sentral’s unique position has made it the center of a development complex that includes:

• Numerous MNC corporate offices
• Business suites
• Luxury hotels
• Condominiums
• Serviced apartments, and
• Shopping malls

The project developers describe this complex as a ‘city within a city’, and you’d be hard pressed to find a better place to live for local and expatriate working professionals.
