For buyers who want better connectivity, daily convenience, and easier access to Kuala Lumpur, Cheras and Sungai Besi remain two of the most attractive areas to consider.
These locations are popular because they offer a strong combination of:
MRT / LRT connectivity
Access to major highways
Mature surrounding amenities
Shopping malls, schools, eateries, and daily conveniences
Good potential for own stay and rental demand
New launch options below RM800k
For homebuyers, living near MRT or LRT can make daily travel more convenient. For investors, projects near public transport can be more appealing to tenants, especially working adults, young couples, students, and commuters who prefer easier access to KL and nearby business hubs.
Below are several new launch condos in Cheras and Sungai Besi that offer attractive connectivity and pricing under RM800k.
Why Choose Cheras and Sungai Besi?
Cheras is one of Klang Valley’s most established residential areas. It is well-known for its mature amenities, convenient road access, MRT connectivity, shopping malls, schools, medical centres, and active commercial areas.
This makes Cheras attractive for both own-stay buyers and investors. Buyers enjoy the convenience of a developed township, while tenants are often drawn to the area because of its accessibility and lifestyle convenience.
Sungai Besi is also becoming a strong choice for buyers who want a strategic city-fringe location. It offers access to Kuala Lumpur, Cheras, Bukit Jalil, Seri Kembangan, and other key areas. With nearby rail connectivity and highway access, Sungai Besi is especially attractive for people who want convenience without moving into the higher price range of central KL.
For buyers below RM800k, these areas offer a good mix of affordability, accessibility, and long-term practicality.
1. Arte Star @ Sg Besi, Sungai Besi
Arte Star @ Sg Besi is one of the most affordable new launch options in this list, with a starting price from RM340,000.
Located in Sungai Besi, this project benefits from the area’s strong connectivity to Kuala Lumpur and surrounding city-fringe locations. With MRT / LRT access nearby, Arte Star @ Sg Besi may appeal to buyers who want a more connected lifestyle at an affordable entry price.
Sungai Besi is also suitable for buyers who travel frequently to KL, Cheras, Bukit Jalil, Seri Kembangan, and nearby employment hubs. For investors, the project’s location may also appeal to tenants who value public transport and easy city access.
Key Details
Area: Sungai Besi
Starting price: From RM340,000
Status: Under Construction
Completion: Q4 2028 / Q4 2029 by phase
Suitable for: First-time buyers, young professionals, city-fringe buyers, and investors looking for affordable entry pricing
Why This Project Stands Out
Arte Star @ Sg Besi offers a lower starting price while still being located in a highly connected area. For buyers who want convenience, accessibility, and a more affordable new launch option near transit access, this project is worth considering.

Rio Cheras South is located in Cheras and starts from RM368,831. It is currently under construction and expected to complete in Q4 2029.
Cheras has always been a practical choice for homebuyers because of its mature township environment and MRT accessibility. Rio Cheras South gives buyers an opportunity to own a new launch condo in a familiar and well-connected area, while still keeping the entry price below RM400k.
The project may suit buyers who want the convenience of Cheras, access to public transport, and a more manageable starting price.

3. The Connaught One, Cheras
The Connaught One is located in Cheras and starts from RM444,836.55. It is currently under construction and expected to complete in Q4 2027.
This project may appeal to buyers who want a more urban Cheras lifestyle with access to mature amenities, public transport, retail, food, and established neighbourhood convenience.

Suitable for: Own-stay buyers, first-time buyers with a higher budget, and buyers who value Cheras convenience

4. Emerald 9, Cheras
Emerald 9 is located in Cheras and starts from RM394,160. It is expected to complete in 2026.
This project offers a good balance between price, location, and completion timeline. With a starting price below RM400k and an expected completion date earlier than several other projects in this list, Emerald 9 may appeal to buyers who want a Cheras new launch without waiting too long.
Cheras is already a mature area with MRT access, established amenities, and a strong residential base. This gives Emerald 9 a practical location advantage for both own-stay buyers and investors.
Key Details
Area: Cheras
Starting price: From RM394,160
Status: Under Construction
Completion: 2026
Suitable for: Buyers looking below RM400k, own-stay buyers, and buyers who prefer a shorter waiting period
Why This Project Stands Out
Emerald 9 may be attractive for buyers who want Cheras convenience, transit accessibility, and a below-RM400k starting price. Its earlier expected completion also makes it appealing for those who want to receive keys sooner compared with later-phase projects.

5. Ambience Residences, Sungai Besi
Ambience Residences is located in Sungai Besi and starts from RM653,184. It is currently under construction and expected to complete in 2028.
While it has a higher starting price compared with the other projects listed, it remains below RM800k and may suit buyers with a stronger budget who want a Sungai Besi address with city-fringe convenience.
Sungai Besi is attractive because of its connectivity to KL, major highways, and nearby MRT / LRT access. For buyers who want a more connected lifestyle and are comfortable with a higher monthly commitment, Ambience Residences may be worth considering.
Key Details
Area: Sungai Besi
Starting price: From RM653,184
Status: Under Construction
Completion: 2028
Suitable for: Buyers with higher budgets, Sungai Besi buyers, and city-fringe lifestyle seekers
