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.
