Travel Tips

1 & 2:There is a lot of traffic around Jalan Perak, so living, getting in and out of that place is going to be very difficult. Since this place in right in the middle of KL's business district, it would be wise for you to live in the suburbs--slightly far away, but its worth if you look at it from a long term perspective.

Suburbs you can choose from:

North of KL:

Sentul East
Tamarind Condominiums (furnished)
with the view of the Petronas Towers -
Rent : approx. 1600-2000ringgit a month.
Close to the Sentul & Sentul Timur LRT, Sentul Komuter transit stations. Kuala Lumpur General Hospital and many many other private hospitals around.
Schools : Plenty!
10 minutes away from Jalan Perak.

North-east of KL:

Ampang

Ampang Hilir area -- Many condos and apartments
to choose from. Many of my expat friends live here.
Rent will be from 850-1200ringgit. Public transport
is far, you'll have to drive a lot. Many schools around
and there is a hospital nearby.

10-15 minutes away from the business district.

South of KL:

Bangsar/Damansara

This area is a little far away from the Business District,
a little more relaxed, and quiet if you compare to the
previous two places I've mentioned.

A expats heaven.

A lot of condos, apartments nearby...Rent can start from 850 to 1800 ringgit...depending on the size of the unit. More choices here. There is one transit station at Jalan Bangsar and another at Mid Valley.

About 15-20mins away from the business district.
3. Don't need to look for places, just get to the nearest 7-eleven store, grab a copy of the Motor Trader, and in there are the thumbnails of a lot of used cars for sale. Or you can access their website (same thing) at www.motortrader.com.my

4. Try this, very useful : http://www.propertynetasia.com.my/...

I hope this helps, and if you have any questions, ask!

Cheers! Source(s): .

1. You've already drilled down your location to near Jalan Perak which is in Sungei Besi. Not exactly your everyday expat's residential location of choice but you must have a reason for that.

- There's no monorail near there
- The Sungei Besi LRT Station is about 1.5 km away from the vicinity of Jalan Perak
- Endah Parade and South City Plaza are 2.7km and 3.5km away respectively for your shopping convenience.
- Hospital UKM is about 4.4Km away
- There must be some child care preschool areas in the vicinity.

For 3 & 4 you should check out the Star Classifieds, arguably the most comprehensive classified section in the Klang Valley.

Happy searching.
