Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Is Taman Connaught better for investment or own-stay?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Can foreigners or MM2H holders buy property in Taman Connaught?

Accepted Answer

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.
