Akasa, Cheras South: A Completed Freehold Resort-Style Serviced Residence by Hap Seng Land

Akasa is a 998-unit freehold serviced residence on a 9.65-acre site in Cheras South, Kuala Lumpur, by Hap Seng Land, the property arm of Bursa-listed Hap Seng Consolidated Berhad. Units are 850 to 2,048 sqft with 2 to 4 bedrooms, priced from RM553,888. It was completed in 2021, so you can view the real unit. It suits families who drive and want freehold space, resort-style grounds and low maintenance.

Who Akasa suits – and who should skip it

It suits a family that wants a big freehold unit of up to 2,048 sqft with green grounds for the children. It suits a household with primary-school kids, since SK Taming Jaya is 670m straight-line. It also suits a buyer who wants low running costs, with maintenance at RM0.23 psf. Skip it if you rely on the train, because the MRT is 1,865m away. Skip it too if you dislike Cheras traffic, since daily life here runs on the Cheras roads and the SILK highway.

How connected is Akasa?

The nearest station is MRT Bukit Dukung (KG31) on the Kajang Line, 1,865m straight-line, so Akasa is a car-first address. Amerin Mall is 354m, SK Taming Jaya 670m and Columbia Asia Hospital 1,110m straight-line, so shopping, school and a hospital are close. The Cheras and SILK highway network is the main way in and out.

Layouts and monthly costs at Akasa

Units run 850 to 2,048 sqft across 2 to 4 bedrooms, a wide family-friendly spread. Maintenance is quoted at RM0.23 psf plus sinking fund, low for a building with resort-style facilities. It was completed in 2021, so there is no construction wait and you can inspect the actual unit, facilities and how the buildings have aged.

The Sifu View

The trade-off is space and freehold against the commute. You get a freehold unit of up to 2,048 sqft on a 9.65-acre site, with a mall 354m away and maintenance at RM0.23 psf. That is the reason to buy. The reason to hesitate is that the MRT is nearly 2km away, so you drive almost everywhere, and 998 units means busy facilities and many similar units for sale. Worth a look if you are a family that drives and wants room and greenery; skip it if you need rail on foot.
