Flanked by affluent neighbourhoods like Damansara Heights, Mont'Kiara, Kuala Lumpur city and Bangsar South, it is a district that has maintained both its historic charm and trendy appeal. This mature suburb, shaped by the '90s boom, offers a blend of landed homes and contemporary high-rises. Coupled with a youthful vibe and persistent price growth, it has become a magnet for urban families and expats alike.

Prices continue to be spurred by high demand, and as recent EdgeProp data shows, the demographic of residents are trending younger and appetite for high-rise living has seen an uptick since 2020.
