Desa Green — sometimes listed on property portals as Desa Green Serviced Apartments, the same building under a marketing name, not a separate development — sits inside Taman Desa, an established KL address south of the city centre, well placed for drivers and e-hailing between Jalan Klang Lama and the Federal Highway. Public building records show it was developed by UOA Development Bhd on a freehold site of roughly 3 acres, comprising 3 towers with about 1,388 units in total (Tower 1 ~486 units, Tower 2 ~451 units, Tower 3 ~451 units — the exact per-tower split shifts slightly between portal sources, so treat it as an approximate mix), with built-up sizes running roughly 578-945 sq ft, completed around 2016. That scale explains why fit and finish, lift count and facility list still vary unit by unit and tower by tower — the listing, photos and viewing remain the source of truth for any specific unit.

Where is Desa Green and how is the commute?
Desa Green sits in Taman Desa, an older established KL address between Jalan Klang Lama and the Federal Highway. Chan Sow Lin MRT and the Salak Selatan LRT/KTM/Monorail interchange are the nearest named stations, roughly 1.3km away — near enough to be a useful reference point, not close enough to call this a walk-to-rail building. The realistic commute shape is car-and-e-hailing first via Salak Highway, with the exact route confirmed on-site rather than assumed from the building name.
For tenants comparing Taman Desa against newer KL transit-anchored condos, plan your real commute from the unit's resident gate, not the building's main address:
| Transit option | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Nearest LRT/MRT/KTM | Chan Sow Lin MRT (Putrajaya Line) and the Salak Selatan LRT/KTM/Monorail interchange are the nearest named stations in public sources, roughly 1.3km from the building — treat that as a reference point, not a verified walking distance, and confirm the real route on the live listing map pin and again at viewing |
| Walking time | Whether the advertised walk covers stairs, uneven pavement or a hill — test it at your real travel hour |
| E-hailing (Grab etc.) | Where drivers actually pull up; gated Taman Desa condos sometimes force pickups to a guardhouse loop, not the lobby |
| Major roads | Federal Highway and Jalan Klang Lama feed the area; check the realistic peak-hour drive to your office or school |

How much is rent at Desa Green in 2026?
The current SPEEDHOME Desa Green feed starts around RM1,400/month for unfurnished units, with furnished units trending higher per square foot. Exact rent is set per unit by size, floor, furnishing, condition, parking and move-in timing — the live listing is the source of truth for the unit you want.
Use the live SPEEDHOME rental listings to read the current asking band. Three things move the figure the most at older KL strata like Desa Green: floor level (upper floors often price at a small premium), furnishing (furnished carries a built-in furniture premium that has to be amortised against your own move-in cost), and parking count (extra bays are scarce and command a real surcharge on the better units).
What facilities does Desa Green have?
Public building records for Desa Green list a swimming pool, wading pool, gymnasium, sauna, playground, multipurpose hall and 24-hour security with card access as the development's facility categories — but that's the building-wide list, not a promise for any one unit or tower. Confirm which of these your specific block actually gives you access to on the live listing, then verify each one at viewing.
Common facility categories to confirm at viewing, because access can vary by tower or block even within the same development:
| Facility | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Parking bays | Number per unit, visitor pass rules, motorcycle allocation |
| Lift service | Lift count, age and service record per tower |
| Security | 24-hour guardhouse hours, access-card setup, visitor ID logging |
| Swimming pool & wading pool | Whether your block/tower has direct access and current condition |
| Gymnasium & sauna | Operating hours and whether they're shared across all 3 towers or block-specific |
| Playground & multipurpose hall | Location relative to your block and any booking rules for the hall |
| Maintenance | Sinking-fund balance and any planned special assessment (visible on the management notice board) |
Which unit at Desa Green is right for you?
Shortlist the unit, not the building name. Two units in the same Desa Green block can feel like different buildings after you factor in floor level, layout, furnishing, condition, parking and which side of the block the windows face.
A practical shortlist sequence:
- Open the live SPEEDHOME Desa Green feed and shortlist by rent band and move-in date that match your schedule.
- For each candidate, check the photos, parking bay count and furnishing inventory on the listing.
- View in person: run the tap during your real evening routine, ride the lift, walk the resident gate to the nearest e-hailing pickup, and test the access card on the same visit.
- Ask the listing owner for the latest maintenance fee and sinking-fund contribution before you commit.
What should you inspect during viewing?
Inspect water pressure, drainage, aircond, lights, plugs, leaks, smell, noise, parking, keys, access cards and the existing inventory. Run each check at your real travel hour, not a quiet weekday midday, because that's when flaws show.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Water and drainage | Leaks and slow drainage become daily problems and are the most common older-strata complaint |
| Aircond and ventilation | Cooling and smell affect comfort and sleep quality |
| Electrical points | Faulty switches and plugs create move-in hassle and may signal re-wiring risk |
| Noise | Road, corridor, facility and neighbour noise can change the unit at peak hours |
| Parking and access | Access problems can outweigh a lower rent over a 12-month tenancy |
| Handover inventory | Photos prevent unclear move-out disputes and protect both sides |
Use the move-in and move-out checklist to prepare the handover record.
What if the unit is furnished?
For furnished or partially furnished units, ask for an item list at the viewing. The "furnished" label is not enough to protect either side.
SPEEDHOME's current Desa Green furnished feed varies unit by unit — some ship with white goods and basic furniture, others partially furnish. Ask for the inventory list on the live listing, then verify each item at the viewing. Record scratches, stains, missing remotes or keys, and items the owner plans to remove before move-in. The furnished or unfurnished checklist explains how to avoid inventory confusion.
Living at Desa Green — what to expect
Plan around the actual building routine, not the brochure. Parking ratio, visitor flow, e-hailing pickup and known drawbacks all shape daily life here.
- Parking: Older KL condos typically run a 1-bay-per-unit ratio; ask whether your second car or motorcycle will be on a visitor pass.
- Visitor access: Most guardhouse-managed Taman Desa condos log visitor IDs and unit numbers; confirm the check-in time window before guests arrive.
- E-hailing pickup: Drivers sometimes stall at the guardhouse if the lift lobby is not signposted; ask the existing tenant or guard for the standard pickup lane.
- Furnishing baseline: Furnished SPEEDHOME listings here typically include white goods and basic furniture; confirm each item on the inventory before signing.
- Water pressure on upper floors: Older low-rise strata blocks in this category sometimes carry intermittent water pressure on upper floors during peak hours — run the tap during your real evening routine at the viewing.
- Lift service: Older low-rise blocks can have single-lift towers with periodic downtime; check the lift age on the management notice board and confirm service-response time at viewing.
- Maintenance fees: Maintenance fees for older KL strata can climb when lift, plumbing or repainting works come due; ask for the latest sinking-fund contribution before committing.
How do you avoid payment mistakes?
Keep the listing, contact, tenancy documents and payment path inside SPEEDHOME's official channels. Do not move money through a new number, a different account, or a rushed side payment.
Three concrete checks before any transfer:
- The listing page is the live SPEEDHOME page and the contact is the one shown there — not a number from a forwarded message.
- The tenancy agreement references the same unit, rent, move-in date and furnishing inventory shown on the listing.
- Payment instructions route through SPEEDHOME's official payment path, not a personal bank account.

FAQ
Is Desa Green good for rent?
Yes, for tenants who want an established Taman Desa address at a low-to-mid KL strata rent band and can accept older-building trade-offs. SPEEDHOME's current Desa Green feed lists a mix of furnished and unfurnished units starting around RM1,400/month; the trade-offs are older-block fit and finish, possible water pressure variation on upper floors, and a parking ratio that usually caps at one bay per unit. Shortlist it if commute, rent band and condition all line up at the viewing; skip it if you need new finishes, a higher parking ratio, or a unit pinned to a specific MRT/LRT station.
Is Desa Green Serviced Apartments the same building as Desa Green?
Yes — "Desa Green Serviced Apartments" is a portal listing name for the same Taman Desa building, not a separate development. Public building records show it was developed by UOA Development Bhd as a freehold scheme of 3 towers with roughly 1,388 units in total, completed around 2016. Whichever name you searched, the live SPEEDHOME feed and this page cover the same address — use the developer, tower and unit-count facts above for background, and the live listing for current rent and availability.
What is the biggest viewing mistake at Desa Green?
Skipping the access-card test on a weekend. Weekend guardhouse traffic and visitor volume at Taman Desa condos often expose queue and access patterns weekday viewings miss — test both the resident lane and any visitor lane during the actual viewing window, and run the tap and lift on the same visit.
What should I ask before paying the booking fee?
Three things decide whether the unit is worth a second visit: the exact furnishing inventory, the parking bay count for your unit (and visitor-pass rules for a second vehicle), and the latest maintenance fee and sinking-fund contribution. If any of those three is vague, the unit is not ready to pay for.
Can I rent Desa Green with Zero Deposit?
Zero Deposit is SPEEDHOME's managed rental-risk system — not a financial guarantee product. It appears on participating Desa Green listings only — eligibility is assessed per applicant and shown on the listing page. Treat the live listing as the source of truth, not a blanket guarantee.
