Renting in Subang Jaya: Median Rent, Best Condos & USJ Area Guide (2026)
Renting in Subang Jaya in 2026 means choosing between pockets with very different price points: Casa Subang USJ 1 is the most-searched building in the area at RM1,800–2,500/month for a furnished unit, while One Soho and Olive Subang offer smaller studios from RM1,300–1,900/month. The Kelana Jaya LRT line runs through the township with stations at Subang Jaya, USJ 7, and Taipan — making car-free commuting realistic for most office routes into central KL.
What Does Rent in Subang Jaya Cost in 2026?
Typical furnished rent in Subang Jaya ranges from RM1,300/month for a compact studio to RM2,800/month for a spacious 3-bedroom unit in a well-maintained condo. Price varies significantly by zone — SS15 and the Sunway City cluster command the highest premiums because of walkability and campus demand, while USJ sections away from the LRT corridor offer more space for the same budget.
| Unit Type | Typical Rent (Furnished) | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / Soho (500–700 sqft) | RM1,300–1,900/mo | One Soho, Olive Subang; compact layout, mostly for singles or couples |
| 1-Bedroom (600–900 sqft) | RM1,600–2,200/mo | Casa Subang smaller units; Sunway City cluster |
| 2-Bedroom (850–1,100 sqft) | RM1,800–2,600/mo | Casa Subang mid units; good for couples or small families |
| 3-Bedroom (1,000–1,400 sqft) | RM2,200–3,200/mo | Sunway City / SS15 area; premium furnished; family demand |
These ranges are based on active PropertyGuru and iProperty listings as of Q1–Q2 2026. Always check live listings for the specific building before deciding — asking prices shift by RM200–400 between furnished states and proximity to LRT.

- Malls: The Summit USJ (near USJ 7 LRT), Sunway Pyramid (BRT-linked), Empire Shopping Gallery Subang, Subang Parade
- Healthcare: Sunway Medical Centre (via BRT), Columbia Asia Hospital Subang, KPJ Damansara Hospital (~15 min drive)
- Education: Sunway University, Monash University Malaysia Campus, Sunway College — significant student demand that tightens supply in the RM1,500–2,000 band near campus

What RM1,800 Gets You: Subang Jaya vs Sri Petaling
In Subang Jaya, RM1,800/month typically gets a furnished 1-bedroom at Casa Subang or a duplex studio at One Soho with LRT access. In Sri Petaling, the same budget gets a furnished 2-bedroom condo near the LRT node — more space, but a slower commute into the KLCC corridor. The trade-off is clear: Subang gives faster access to Sunway/campus amenities and PJ jobs; Sri Petaling gives more room at the same price for KL city-centre commuters on the same line.
What to Watch Out For
Student demand near Sunway University and Monash University distorts the RM1,500–2,200 market near campus — occupancy rates are high, availability dips between August and October. If you are moving near the Sunway cluster, start searching 6–8 weeks early.
Casa Subang USJ 1 is high demand but also high turnover — verify the unit condition and furnishing quality in person, as listing photos vary widely in accuracy. Some units were converted from short-term to long-term rental stock and may have worn fixtures. The building also has limited visitor parking.
USJ sections further from the LRT (USJ 9–14) are quieter and cheaper but first-mile travel adds 20–30 minutes to any commute. Budget for Grab rides or a motorcycle if you are not within 15 minutes’ walk of USJ 7 or Taipan stations.
