Kepong is a matured neighbourhood, with 2 large parks, is well connected via public transport routes and highways, and is nestled between KL and PJ.

It’s name come from the Malay word which means “surround” as the area is surrounded by mountain ranges. Kepong is a large town, located close to the city centre of Kuala Lumpur, boasting a wide range of residences. Depending on which area you choose to visit, there can be either low-cost flats, mid-range terrace houses or high end gated and guarded residences. Property prices in Kepong has remained relatively stable over the years, with the median price being lower than other suburbs in the greater KL area. Property investors would have enjoyed the spillover effect from the Desa ParkCity development in the last few years. Newer developments in Kepong have also seen the advantages from multi-generational Kepong families wishing to remain in the neighbourhood.

The gated and guarded residences are generally newer builds and are located further out on the fringes of Kepong such as Bandar Menjalara( a relatively new township nearby), while the affordable homes are concentrated in the heart of Kepong around Jinjang Utara (North Jinjang) and Jinjang Selatan (South Jinjang).

Kepong is a great hub for home improvement shopping with many stores for tiling, woodwork, hardware, and machinery. Many service contractors from air conditioning service to plumbers are in the area too. This makes it a highly convenient and enviable location for bargain hunters.

For nature lovers, the Forest Reserve Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) is in the area. Perfect for waterfalls, hiking, taking a walk or having a picnic under the canopy of trees, FRIM is perfect for all fitness levels. For other options, one can also visit Kepong Metropolitan Park,one of the largest parks in KL and is also famous for the number of people who come to fly their kites, and Taman Botani Kepong.

Kepong is well connected, with many options for entry and exit roads. Main roads and highways like the MRR2 and Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) connect Kepong to other areas such as Subang Jaya, Cheras, and Ampang. As for public transportation, Kepong is served by the KTM komuter line. The upcoming MRT 2 Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya (SSP) will make Kepong even more accessible, and possibly drive property prices upwards.

Crime Rate

Crime Index is an estimation of overall level of crime in a given city or a country. We consider crime levels lower than 20 as very low, crime levels between 20 and 40 as being low, crime levels between 40 and 60 as being moderate, crime levels between 60 and 80 as being high and finally crime levels higher than 80 as being very high.

Safety index is, on the other way, quite opposite of crime index. If the city has a high safety index, it is considered very safe.

Consumer Price Index

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) line shows an increment in prices of essential goods on a yearly basis, while the Percentage Changes line shows the level of changes in price increments over the years. For example, a dip in the CPI line may indicate a low level of price increment as compared to the previous year while a surge in CPI line shows a high level of price increment as compared to the previous year.

The above graph shows 1.363% of price changes in essential goods such as rice, meat and tobacco between the years 2011 and 2012, while increasing in difference to 1.633% in 2013. Prices of essential goods then increasing to 3.308% in the year 2014 while surging by 3.019% in 2015.

While the prices of essential goods have shown a variation in the Percentage Changes, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on the other hand indicates a reality of ever increasing prices in essential goods with increments between the years 2011 - 2015 at 102.7 in 2011, 104.1 in 2012, 105.8 in 2013, 109.3 in 2014, 112.6 in 2015.

This is a representation of Kuala Lumpur Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the year of 2011 - 2015
