What is The Wharf Residence?
The Wharf Residence is a residential development in Taman Tasik Prima, Puchong, Selangor. It is known as one of the more affordable studio and small-unit options in the Puchong corridor, which is why it appears in shortlists for tenants priced out of the KL city centre.
The development is positioned near Taman Tasik Prima's commercial strip and the lake park that gives the area its name. The surrounding neighbourhood is a mature Puchong township with a mix of terrace houses, low-rise condos, and supporting retail. Because it is in Puchong — not in the inner LRT corridor — access to Kuala Lumpur's rail network requires more than a short walk.

For landlords: furnishing standard, parking allocation, and maintenance-fee responsibility are the three items that generate the most end-of-tenancy disputes in this price tier. Address all three in the tenancy agreement before move-in.
Commute and access
The Wharf Residence is in Puchong — a car-oriented corridor. No LRT or MRT station is walkable from Taman Tasik Prima. Tenants commuting to KL drive to a park-and-ride, use a feeder bus, or Grab to the Sri Petaling LRT line — budget 15–30 minutes for the first/last mile.
The Sri Petaling LRT line reaches KL Sentral and the City Centre from the Puchong fringe, but the key word is "fringe" — most Taman Tasik Prima addresses require a connecting ride to reach any station. For tenants whose job is rail-accessible from the Sri Petaling line, this works. For those commuting to destinations not served by that line, a car or motorbike is effectively required.
Peak-hour congestion on the main Puchong arterials (LDP, Persiaran Puchong) is a known trade-off. Tenants should make a trial commute during morning peak before signing, not just during the weekend viewing.
What to check before viewing or listing
Before signing, verify built-up size, furnishing inventory, parking allocation, and who pays maintenance fees. For landlords listing an affordable unit, clear documentation at handover avoids the disputes that are most common in this segment.
Key checklist items at this price tier:
- Furnishing inventory: photograph every item with timestamps at handover; faded paint, worn kitchen cabinets, and aircon filter condition are the most disputed items at affordable units in Puchong.
- Parking: confirm the number of bays included in the rent and whether visitor bays are available — scarce parking is a common complaint in mature Puchong townships.
- Maintenance fee: the tenancy agreement should state clearly whether the landlord or tenant pays the JMB or management corporation charge each month.
- Utilities: confirm whether the TNB and water accounts can be transferred to the tenant's name, or whether the tenant pays the landlord who settles the bills — each model has different default risks.
- Security and access: check the guardhouse hours, visitor-vehicle system, and whether the common facilities (if any) are operational and included.

Renting or listing at The Wharf with SPEEDHOME
SPEEDHOME lists Puchong residential units including Taman Tasik Prima addresses. Landlords listing through SPEEDHOME use a standard tenancy framework that covers furnishing inventory, utility handover, and maintenance-fee responsibility from the start — the areas where affordable-tier disputes typically originate.
For eligible units, Zero Deposit is available. Zero Deposit is a managed rental-risk system that replaces the upfront cash deposit. It is not a financial product: in the rare case of severe end-of-tenancy damage the recoverable amount can be limited, and the programme does not cover every possible loss scenario. Not every unit qualifies — check the specific listing.

No. Puchong is not in walking distance of any LRT or MRT station. The nearest rail access is the Sri Petaling LRT line, reached via Grab, feeder bus, or personal vehicle from most Taman Tasik Prima addresses.

What types of units are available at The Wharf Residence?
The Wharf Residence is known for studio and smaller apartment units. For current availability, built-up sizes, furnishing levels, and asking rents, check live listings on SPEEDHOME's Puchong page — static guides do not reflect real-time market pricing.
Can I use Zero Deposit to rent at The Wharf?
Zero Deposit is available on eligible SPEEDHOME listings in Puchong, but not every unit qualifies. Zero Deposit is a managed rental-risk system — it replaces the upfront cash deposit, but it is not a financial guarantee product, and in the case of severe end-of-tenancy damage the recoverable amount can be limited. Check the specific listing on SPEEDHOME to confirm eligibility.
What should a landlord prepare before listing a Wharf unit?
Before listing, prepare a full furnishing inventory (with photos), confirm the JMB maintenance-fee rate and who will pay it, and decide on a utility arrangement (direct transfer or landlord-billed). A clear tenancy agreement covering all three reduces the most common affordable-segment disputes. SPEEDHOME's standard tenancy framework addresses these items from day one.
