Desa Eight
Desa Eight stands out in Taman Desa and Kuchai Lama for space and location: a 2015 Seri Tiara Development Sdn Bhd, a UOA Group subsidiary condo scoring 6.9 overall. What to check before you sign.
Living here is middling, with contented residents, though reports mention noise and complaints about the management. About 4 min by car to Vikas International School. Worth knowing: it is close to Lebuhraya Salak, a major road.

What Taman Desa and Kuchai Lama is like
This area joins two townships off Jalan Kelang Lama. Taman Desa, built from the 1970s, is a quiet suburb of older terrace houses, condominiums and apartments, named among the oldest and most established housing areas on Old Klang Road; its kopitiams, Chinese restaurants and cafes cluster in Taman Danau Desa. Its residents say it lacks green space and has no rail service.
Kuchai Lama is a mature suburb that has turned from sawmills and workshops to gated homes, condominiums and serviced apartments. Its population is mainly middle-income, its Jalan Rukun shops are mostly eateries, and Kuchai MRT station on the Putrajaya Line serves it. In 2019 its older apartments were priced at RM380-450 psf and new condominiums launched from RM700 psf.
Traffic is the shared problem: Jalan Kelang Lama has fallen to Grade F, with junctions in both townships named as hotspots. More density is planned, from a proposed Mah Sing project of about 2,400 homes in Taman Desa to a rezoning near Kuchai Lama, both questioned by residents who fear worse traffic.
