I will be moving to KL for 10 months. Looking for recommendations on neighborhoods to look for rentals in.

Looking for the following:
Studio-1 bedroom
Pool
Good transportation
Not too expensive
Convenient to get to airport (will be traveling a lot for work)

It all depends on your budget.

Hi,

Based on your work location. If you are looking for higher rentals then It is KL. If you prefer places with easy access to public transport then I can guide you which places are not expensive and if of course any travelling I can help best guide you which places are to be visited.

Thanks,
Yousaf

Not exactly sure of my budget. My non profit organization will be paying. I’m assuming under 2k. I don’t need to be totally central. I’ll be working from home and traveling out of the country for work often.

Subang jaya is a good option as the rents are less  but its almost 25 km away. The best way to travel from subang jaya to KL is by LRT.

If you are looking form the perspective of near the airport then this is the best option.

Cyberjaya, which you may also consider, is a nice area for expats and closer to the airport than Subang jaya. It has a lot of restaurants. You can consult several realtors at iproperty website in order to find something you like to rent.

If u r alone,  and travelling for work alot, I suggest u get a room instead of an apartment.
