An older building with roomier homes than most in Taman Desa and Kuchai Lama; living here is middling, with contented residents. About 3 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.
