House Search in Kuala Lumpur - Expatriates Residential Areas - Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia

Expatriates searching for houses in Kuala Lumpur face a daunting challenge!

There are several resources to help out on the search and hopefully sooner, (rather than later), there’s a house on a suitable location that ticks most of the requirements!

The most popular areas with Expats are Suria KLCC, Bangsar, Damansara Heights, Damansara, Ampang, Mont Kiara, Sri Hartamas, Desa Park City and Bukit Tunku.

Getting details of property agents via acquaintances will definitely speed up the search process and guarantee trust.

There are several things to consider when searching for a house in Kuala Lumpur:

• Do you want a house or an apartment in a condominium (condo)?
• How far are you willing to commute to/from work? – (Traffic in KL is a challenge and this is a light way to describe it!)
• Do you have children? Are they attending schools? On which locations, will the school bus serve your residential area?
• Will you have a car? Is the area you are considering to live served by public transport?

Many websites provide overviews of “Expat” friendly residential areas in Kuala Lumpur. I will highlight the below because it provides information about nearby hospitals and schools, housing type and most importantly for Westerners -it mentions if snakes and monkeys are common.
