New Launch Condos in Taman Connaught

Taman Connaught is a well-established Cheras neighbourhood in south-eastern Kuala Lumpur, famous nationwide for its Wednesday-night pasar malam, one of the longest and busiest night markets in the country, stretching about two kilometres along Jalan Cerdas. Beyond that headline, it is a settled, largely Chinese-majority residential township with a strong food culture, mature shophouses and a mix of landed homes and condominiums.

Rail access is a genuine plus. The Taman Connaught MRT station (KG26) on the Kajang Line sits right in the township next to Cheras Sentral mall, giving a direct ride toward Cheras, the city centre and out to Kajang without touching the notorious Cheras traffic. By road it connects via Jalan Cheras, the Grand Saga (Cheras-Kajang) Highway and links toward MRR2 and Besraya, though drivers should expect the usual Cheras congestion at peak times.

Lifestyle here is anchored by food and everyday convenience. The night market is the star, backed by Cheras Sentral and Leisure Mall nearby, a dense spread of local restaurants and kopitiams, and the presence of UCSI University, which brings a steady student population and a younger rental market. Several Chinese-medium and national schools serve the many families who have lived here for generations.

There are no AskHenry-tracked launches priced on this page yet, and Taman Connaught mixes older resale blocks with newer transit-oriented high-rises, so quoting one price would mislead. Compare it against the current live launches on the site, or WhatsApp Henry for the actual latest transacted and launch pricing on the specific project you are considering.

Taman Connaught suits own-stayers and families who want a food-rich, MRT-connected Cheras address with real neighbourhood character, and investors targeting the UCSI student and young-professional tenant pool. The honest caveats: Cheras traffic is a well-known frustration, the area around the market gets very crowded on market nights, and some of the housing stock is older, so the specific building and its distance from the MRT and the night-market crush make a real difference.

Frequently asked about Taman Connaught

What should I know about buying a new launch condo in Taman Connaught?

Taman Connaught is an established Cheras township, so new launches are typically transit-oriented high-rises built next to or near the MRT rather than large greenfield projects. You get mature amenities, the famous night market and direct rail from day one, at the cost of density and Cheras traffic. New-launch availability shifts over time, so compare what is currently live on AskHenry and message Henry for the real latest pricing, layouts and remaining units on any specific project.

How far is Taman Connaught from the nearest MRT/LRT station?

Very convenient. Taman Connaught MRT station (KG26) on the Kajang Line sits inside the township beside Cheras Sentral mall, so most homes are a 3-8 minute drive or a short walkable ride to the platform, and some blocks are within genuine walking distance. That direct MRT link is a big part of why the area holds up.

Is Taman Connaught better for investment or own-stay?

It works well for both. As an investment, the UCSI University student pool plus young-professional tenants drawn by the MRT support steady rental demand, with gross yields on condos commonly around 4-5% depending on price paid and furnishing. For own-stay, families are drawn by the food, schools and community feel. Just weigh the Cheras traffic and the night-market crowds against the strong lifestyle and connectivity.

What is it like living near the Taman Connaught night market?

The Wednesday pasar malam is a genuine draw and one of the biggest in the country, so having it on your doorstep is a real lifestyle plus. The flip side is that on market evenings the streets around Jalan Cerdas get extremely crowded, with heavy foot traffic, road closures and a parking crunch. If you want easy access without the weekly congestion right below you, look at blocks a little set back from the market strip.

Can foreigners or MM2H holders buy property in Taman Connaught?

Yes. Taman Connaught is in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, where the minimum purchase price for foreigners is RM1,000,000 per property. From 1 January 2026 foreign buyers also pay an additional 8% foreign-buyer stamp duty on top of the normal tiered stamp duty, so budget for it. MM2H holders follow the same RM1 million KL threshold; MM2H helps with long-stay residency rather than lowering the price floor, and each purchase still needs state consent.
