What is Villa Wangsamas Condominium and should you rent there?
Villa Wangsamas Condominium is a freehold, 9-tower condominium of roughly 1,317 units at Jalan Seri Wangsa 1, Taman Sri Rampai, Setapak/Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur. It fits tenants who want a mostly 3-bedroom-sized unit near Setapak and can commute to Sri Rampai LRT by car, e-hailing or feeder bus — not on foot.
SPEEDHOME verifies every landlord and listing before it goes live, and has had zero reported rental scams on the platform since April 2026 — verification matters most at an older block like this one, where unit condition varies far more than the building name suggests. Developed by Setapak Heights Development Sdn Bhd and completed around 2010, the building is now 15+ years old. Age alone isn't a reason to avoid it, but ask specific questions at viewing: the lift maintenance log, visible facade wear, and — from the JMB registered on jmbmalaysia.org — the water tank service record.
The 9 towers of 20 storeys are built mainly to one ~1,267 sq ft 3-bed/3-bath-plus-store layout, plus a smaller number of penthouses. Portal-listed facilities include 24-hour security, parking, a pool, a gym, a squash court, a jogging track, a playground, a cafeteria and a business centre — a category list, not confirmation everything is in service; verify at viewing.
Transit needs an honest answer, not a marketing line. The nearest rail option, Sri Rampai LRT, sits roughly 0.7km to 2km away depending on the tower and route — not walking distance for most blocks. Budget for a short drive, an e-hailing trip, or a feeder bus, and test the actual route from your tower before you sign. Road access runs via Jalan Wangsamas, Jalan Jelatek, the DUKE, MRR2 and AKLEH, so a car-based commute toward KL city centre or Ampang stays reasonably direct.
Tenancy law is the same as anywhere in KL: the tenancy agreement and general contract law (Contracts Act 1950), with stamp duty through MyTax. As of 2026 the proposed Residential Tenancy Act is still a draft Bill, not yet tabled in Parliament — rights and obligations come from the agreement and the courts, with no dedicated residential tenancy tribunal.
What to check before signing at Villa Wangsamas Condominium
Because the building is 15+ years old, verify condition and paperwork, not just furnishing — a listing photo cannot show you a lift service log.
A good viewing at any Villa Wangsamas Condominium unit covers:
- Lift and common-area condition — ask the JMB for the latest lift and water tank service records, given the building's age
- Air-conditioning — switch on every unit, confirm it cools, ask for the service record
- Water pressure — test all bathrooms and the kitchen tap together
- Furniture and appliances — check every item against the listing description
- Parking — confirm the exact bay number, whether covered, and visitor rules
- Access cards — how many included, replacement cost, JMB registration process
- Commute test — time a drive or e-hailing trip to Sri Rampai LRT from the specific tower, since distance varies by block

Renting at Villa Wangsamas Condominium with Zero Deposit
Selected Villa Wangsamas Condominium listings on SPEEDHOME offer Zero Deposit — no upfront cash deposit at move-in. Not every unit qualifies; confirm on the live listing.
Zero Deposit is a managed rental-risk system, not a financial guarantee product. It replaces the upfront cash deposit; in a severe end-of-tenancy damage case the recoverable amount can be limited. SPEEDHOME-managed tenancies on Zero Deposit show a roughly 70% on-time rental rate (Q1 2026 platform records) — the deposit method changes when rent-related cash is paid, not what's owed. It applies to rent between RM500 and RM5,000; listings outside that band, or units the landlord hasn't opted in, don't carry the flag.
Here's what that saves. A traditional tenancy asks for 2 months' rent plus half a month's utility deposit — 2.5x rent — upfront. On a unit asking RM1,900/month, that's RM1,900 x 2.5 = RM4,750 in cash before the keys. On a Zero Deposit-eligible listing, that RM4,750 stays in your pocket; the total rent owed doesn't change, only the timing.

FAQ
What is Villa Wangsamas Condominium?
A freehold, 9-tower, ~1,317-unit condominium at Jalan Seri Wangsa 1, Taman Sri Rampai, Setapak/Wangsa Maju, KL, developed by Setapak Heights Development Sdn Bhd and completed around 2010. Most units follow a ~1,267 sq ft 3-bed/3-bath-plus-store layout, plus a smaller number of penthouses.
How much is rent at Villa Wangsamas Condominium right now?
Portals placed 3-bed units roughly between RM1,600 and RM2,500 a month in late 2025/early 2026 — directional, not SPEEDHOME's own figure. The live listing is the current price, since furnishing, floor and tower shift it at the same address.
Is Villa Wangsamas Condominium walkable to a station?
No, not reliably. The nearest station, Sri Rampai LRT, sits roughly 0.7km to 2km away depending on the tower and route. Plan on a drive, e-hail or feeder bus, and test the commute from your specific tower before relying on any listing's "near LRT" line.
Is Villa Wangsamas Condominium a good fit for families with school-age children?
Workable if the school run is reachable by car or shuttle, and if you've confirmed the building's maintenance condition given its age. Households needing a walk-to-school routine may suit a different Wangsa Maju/Setapak address better.
What should a landlord at Villa Wangsamas Condominium do if the tenant stops paying?
Serve a written cure notice, terminate under the tenancy clause if unpaid, and proceed through the civil courts. SPEEDHOME-managed tenancies follow the platform's default-management process (cure notice, then mediation) first; non-SPEEDHOME tenancies run the same notice-then-court path directly. Locking the tenant out or disconnecting water or electricity is unlawful under section 7(2) of the Specific Relief Act 1950, regardless of what the agreement says.
