Living in Ampang

Neighbourhoods, transport, amenities and typical prices on KL's leafy eastern side.

Last updated: 16 Oct 2026

Ampang sits on the eastern side of Kuala Lumpur, from the embassy belt of Ampang Hilir just beyond KLCC out to the hillside neighbourhoods of Ukay Perdana and Bukit Antarabangsa. It spans both KL and Selangor, where Ampang Jaya and Pandan Indah offer more affordable homes. The mix of upscale bungalows, condominiums and everyday apartments, close to the city centre, makes it popular with expatriates, families and city workers alike.
