🚈Why Transit-Linked Properties Are Still Winning in KL

Everyone keeps saying “location, location, location” — but in KL, a better way to say it is:
“Location… next to MRT/LRT.”

And here’s why the data proves it 👇

⸻

📊 What the market shows
    •    According to CBRE | WTW’s 2025 Property Market Outlook, residential units near MRT/LRT stations in Klang Valley continue to show higher rental demand and lower vacancy rates.
    •    Properties within walkable distance (400–800m) to transit often secure 5%–15% higher rental rates compared to similar units that require driving.
    •    Areas benefiting the most:
✅ Cheras / Maluri
✅ Old Klang Road / Kuchai Lama
✅ Bukit Jalil / Sri Petaling
✅ PJ / Subang Jaya
    •    More young professionals prefer renting near transit because of rising transport cost + lower car ownership.

In simple words:
Being near a train line makes your property easier to rent out.

🚆 Why transit still matters in 2025
    1.    Traffic isn’t getting better 😅
People will pay more to avoid jams and parking nightmares.
    2.    MRT3 is coming
This future circle line will connect more neighbourhoods and create new hotspots — especially KL South and Cheras.
    3.    Workplace flexibility
Even if WFH exists, people still need easy access to coworking spaces, offices, and city centres.

✅ What this means for buyers & investors

✔ If you want rental income → choose transit-connected projects
✔ If you plan to rent out to students / young executives → even better
✔ Even if price growth is slow, rental yield remains strong when location is transit-linked

Not every condo is a good investment — but
condo + MRT/LRT = always more demand.

✨Takeaway

In KL’s property market, fancy facilities don’t guarantee tenants.
Transit does.
