Pacific Place Ara Damansara: the short version
Pacific Place is a leasehold integrated development in Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, completed 2013 with roughly 1,200 serviced apartment units, sitting an approximately 5-7 minute walk from Ara Damansara LRT station on the Kelana Jaya Line. It is one of the few large-scale buildings in Ara Damansara that consistently stays in the RM1,600-2,200 monthly rent band, which makes it the practical pick for solo professionals and young couples who want walk-to-LRT without the rental premium of TTDI or Damansara Perdana. Browse current Ara Damansara rentals on SPEEDHOME to see what is live right now, including Zero Deposit options where a unit qualifies.
Area snapshot
Pacific Place sits in the walkable Ara Damansara pocket of Petaling Jaya, anchored by Evolve Concept Mall across the road and the Kelana Jaya LRT Line one short walk away. The retail podium inside the building carries F&B and convenience shops, so daily errands can be done on foot — a real advantage over the more car-dependent leasehold service residences nearby.

Tenure is leasehold, which is the norm for this corridor and matters less for renters than for buyers — but it's worth confirming with the management office if you plan a long stay, since maintenance and sinking-fund decisions sit with the JMB either way.
Rent by layout at Pacific Place
Typical asking rents at Pacific Place run from around RM1,600 for a studio to RM2,600 and above for larger two- and three-bedroom units, with built-up sizes spanning roughly 529 to 1,325 sq ft across the block. The building keeps an active rental market with listings on PropertyGuru and iProperty throughout the year, so supply is rarely the constraint — unit condition is.
| Unit type | Size | Asking rent | Furnishing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | ~529 sq ft | ~RM1,600/mo | Fully furnished |
| 2-3 bedroom | up to ~1,325 sq ft | RM2,200-2,600+/mo | Fully furnished, parking varies |
Rent figures are market-range from 2025-2026 listings and vary by floor, furnishing quality, and negotiation. Higher-floor units with city or pool views typically command a RM100-200 premium over equivalent lower-floor listings. Cross-check current asking prices on PropertyGuru's Pacific Place page before you view, then compare against live Ara Damansara rentals on SPEEDHOME for no-agent-fee and Zero Deposit options.
Getting around — the honest LRT walk
LRT Ara Damansara is on the Kelana Jaya Line — the same line that runs to KL Sentral, KLCC (via Ampang Park interchange), and Subang Jaya — and from Pacific Place the station is a roughly 5-7 minute flat walk through the Evolve Concept Mall connection or via the main road. Ara Damansara sits near the mid-point of the line, which is why it works for tenants working anywhere from Subang to Gombak.
| Destination | Approx travel time from LRT Ara Damansara |
|---|---|
| KL Sentral | ~30 min (no transfer) |
| Paradigm Mall (Kelana Jaya) | ~15 min |
| Subang Jaya | ~20 min |
| Kelana Jaya (endpoint) | ~25 min |
Travel times are directional estimates and depend on the time of day. Confirm the exact walking path during your viewing — some blocks sit slightly closer to the station entrance than others, and the route through the mall connection can add or shave a minute depending on opening hours.
Facilities and what to inspect
Pacific Place carries standard mid-tier condo facilities — swimming pool, gymnasium, 24-hour security, and covered parking — functional and maintained but not recently refurbished, given the 2013 completion. Inspect the pool deck and gym equipment condition during your viewing so you know what you are paying for.
The retail podium within and adjacent to the building mixes F&B and convenience shops, and Evolve Concept Mall across the road covers grocery runs. Because Pacific Place is a strata-titled service residence, the Joint Management Body (JMB) sets the maintenance fees and house rules — ask the landlord whether the monthly maintenance fee is included in or separate from your rent. For the full picture of what strata living means for tenants, the JMB and strata management guide covers your rights and the JMB's responsibilities.
Pacific Place vs Ara Damansara Oasis
Ara Damansara Oasis is the other high-volume building in this cluster, within a short walk of Pacific Place, but the two cater to slightly different budgets and floor-plan mixes. If you are shortlisting in Ara Damansara, view both buildings on the same day — the few minutes between them makes comparison easy and you will see quickly which layout and furnishing fits your needs.
| Factor | Pacific Place | Ara Damansara Oasis |
|---|---|---|
| Completion | 2013 | Established |
| LRT walk | 5-7 min | 5-10 min (verify per block) |
| Studio rent | ~RM1,600-2,600 | Market-dependent; verify on portals |
| Best for | Solo professionals, young couples | Similar audience; different floor-plan mix |

Who it fits, and the honest watch-outs
Pacific Place fits solo professionals and young couples who want a walkable, LRT-connected Ara Damansara base in the RM1,600-2,600 band; it is a weaker fit if you need new-build finishes, abundant parking, or a quiet low-density block. With roughly 1,200 units, unit condition varies widely — a 2013 completion means some units have had multiple tenancies and uneven maintenance.
Check at every viewing: water pressure, air-con function, window seals, kitchen-cabinet condition, and whether the furnished appliances actually work (not just that they are present). Take dated photos and list every defect in the tenancy agreement's handover checklist — that record is what protects your deposit at move-out, not the landlord's goodwill. Car-park availability is reported as tight during peak hours, so if you drive, confirm the parking allocation is included in your rent and clarify visitor-parking arrangements before you sign.
Viewing and scam checklist
Before you pay anything, confirm the listing is verified, pay only to a company or landlord account you have matched to the named owner, and insist on a stamped tenancy agreement. Photos are not reality in a 1,200-unit building where condition varies floor by floor.
- View in person, not just over video, and test every appliance and tap.
- Match the person collecting payment to the name on the title or tenancy agreement.
- Never pay a deposit to a personal account you cannot trace; unverified social-media listing channels are the common scam surface.
- Get the tenancy agreement stamped — the tenancy agreement process guide walks through what to check in the TA and how stamping works.
Renting with Zero Deposit
Zero Deposit lets eligible tenants move in without tying up cash in an upfront deposit, with rental protection standing in for the held deposit — but not every unit qualifies, so confirm eligibility on the live listing before you view. Browse Ara Damansara rentals and filter for Zero Deposit to see which Pacific Place and nearby units are open under the scheme.
