Working in TRX, KL Sentral, or Bukit Bintang? Here’s Where You Should Live to Beat the KL Traffic
Stop wasting hours commuting. Discover the strategic sweet spot for a "room for rent near MRT" that balances lifestyle, cost, and convenience.
Let’s be real. Landing a job at a major hub like the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), KL Sentral, or somewhere bustling in Bukit Bintang is huge for your career.
But then reality hits: The Commute.
If you drive, you are looking at getting stuck on Jalan Tun Razak or the Federal Highway every morning. If you live too far out, you spend half your life on public transport. But living right next to Pavilion or KLCC? That’s going to burn a massive hole in your fresh graduate or junior executive salary.
As a young working professional in KL, you need a strategy. You need a comfortable room for rent that connects you to your workplace quickly, without costing an arm and a leg.
You are looking for the holy grail of KL living: a premium bilik sewa dekat MRT (room for rent near MRT).
The Strategic Solution: The MRT Kajang Line Corridor
If your office is in TRX, Bukit Bintang, or accessible via KL Sentral (Muzium Negara MRT), the smartest move isn't to live in the city center, but just slightly outside it along the MRT Kajang Line.
This corridor offers the perfect balance of local amenities, food culture, and incredibly fast access to the city. Four neighborhoods, in particular, stand out for young professionals seeking a bilik sewa (rental room): Taman Maluri, Taman Pertama, Taman Midah, and Taman Mutiara.
Why these areas?
Taman Maluri: Excellent amenities with Sunway Velocity and AEON Maluri nearby, but it can be a bit busier.
Taman Midah & Taman Mutiara: Famous for incredible local food scenes and mature neighborhoods, offering a true Malaysian suburban feel while still being connected.
These areas are fantastic options when searching for a room for rent near MRT. However, there is one stop that is often overlooked as the "Goldilocks" zone—just right in the middle.
Taman Pertama
Sandwiched right between the bustling Maluri and the food haven of Midah is Taman Pertama.
It’s slightly quieter, more residential, yet you are only:
2 stops away from TRX (Tun Razak Exchange).
3 stops away from Bukit Bintang.
5 stops away from Muzium Negara (access to KL Sentral).
For a young professional, this means you can wake up later, grab a coffee, hop on the train, and be at your desk at the Exchange 106 or a coworking space in Bukit Bintang in under 20 minutes door-to-door.
