Opener
Vista Alam is a rental-first building spoke for Shah Alam renters who want Seksyen 14 / city-centre access, UiTM-side convenience and a live route check before paying — and as of 29 June 2026, that route check now includes an open LRT3 station. Start with Vista Alam rentals on SPEEDHOME, then compare wider Shah Alam rentals if the exact room, studio, SOHO or whole-unit option does not fit.
The LRT3 Shah Alam Line is no longer a "future" line for this building spoke — it is open now (details below). Public sources support a strong fact pack for Vista Alam, but renters still need to separate serviced-apartment units, SOHO units, furnishing, parking and rail access. Do not treat all Vista Alam listings as the same product.
How much is rent at Vista Alam?
Use current listings for Vista Alam rent. Public portals show active asking examples, but the safe number is the live unit because room, studio, SOHO and whole-unit listings can behave differently.
| Rental question | What to verify | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Room, studio/SOHO or whole unit? | Confirm the unit type and tenancy arrangement | Cost, privacy, utilities and house rules change sharply |
| Serviced apartment or SOHO? | Check the listing title and unit documents | The same project includes different components |
| Furnishing level | Ask for a written inventory | Student-friendly units can still vary by appliance condition |
| Parking and access card | Confirm bay count and access rules | Shah Alam convenience often depends on driving or short rides |
| Zero Deposit | Check the live SPEEDHOME label | It is listing-specific, not automatic for the building |
As one portal-observed reference point (not a settled figure — always confirm on the live listing): 2-bedroom/2-bathroom serviced-apartment units at Vista Alam have typically ranged around RM1,690-RM2,000 a month across public portals. At the midpoint of about RM1,845/month, that works out to RM1,845 x 12 = RM22,140 a year before utilities, parking or service charges — useful for budgeting, not a quote for any specific unit.
If your main reason is campus or city-centre access, compare Vista Alam with the UiTM Shah Alam off-campus rental options before committing.
Vista Alam at a glance
Public sources support the core facts below. Completion wording varies between 2014 and 2015 across sources, so use December 2014 / around 2014 as the conservative public reference and verify documents where needed.
| Public fact | Conservative reader-safe wording |
|---|---|
| Building name | Vista Alam / Vista Alam Serviced Apartment / Vista Alam SOHO |
| Location | Off Persiaran Dato Menteri / Persiaran Damai, Seksyen 14, Shah Alam |
| Property type | Leasehold serviced residence / mixed development in public portal references |
| Developer | Tahap Warisan Sdn Bhd |
| Completion | Public sources commonly reference December 2014 or around 2014; one iProperty text references 2015 |
| Serviced apartment scale | Public sources reference 512 serviced apartment units |
| SOHO scale | Public sources reference 576 SOHO units |
| Components | Public sources describe two 16-storey serviced-apartment towers, two 16-storey SOHO towers, shop offices and a parking podium |
| Built-up references | Public sources show serviced apartments around 714/759 sq ft to 1,351 sq ft and SOHO units around 714 sq ft to 896 sq ft |
| Transit anchor | LRT3 Shah Alam Line is now open (public launch 29 June 2026, free rides through 31 July 2026); nearest station is Stadium Shah Alam (SA14), Seksyen 13 |
| Secondary rail | KTM Komuter Shah Alam (Port Klang Line), Seksyen 19, roughly 4-5 km from Vista Alam |
These facts are enough to shortlist Vista Alam. They are not a substitute for checking the exact unit and agreement.
LRT3 is now open — what that actually means for Vista Alam
The LRT3 Shah Alam Line opened to the public on 29 June 2026, with free rides offered through 31 July 2026, and the nearest operating station to Vista Alam is Stadium Shah Alam (station code SA14) in Seksyen 13, Shah Alam. That station serves Shah Alam Stadium, Management and Science University (MSU) and AEON Mall Shah Alam.
Here is the honest part: Seksyen 13 and Vista Alam's Seksyen 14 sit in the same Shah Alam city-centre precinct, but no verified on-foot distance or walk time between Stadium Shah Alam and Vista Alam exists yet. Do not book a unit expecting a confirmed short walk to the platform. Treat the link as a short drive, e-hailing trip or feeder-bus connection until you have tested the exact route yourself, and keep the older KTM Komuter Shah Alam station (Port Klang Line, Seksyen 19, roughly 4-5 km away) in mind as the secondary rail option if LRT3 timing does not fit your commute.
Viewing & defect checklist
Vista Alam viewing should prove the unit category first. A room rental, SOHO-style unit and family-sized serviced apartment can carry different rules, privacy and maintenance risks.
- Confirm whether you are renting a room, studio/SOHO, serviced apartment unit or whole unit.
- Check water pressure, bathroom ventilation, air-conditioning, windows, kitchen cabinets and furniture condition.
- Confirm parking, access-card count, visitor rules, parcel/delivery process and move-in booking.
- If sharing, write down utility split, cleaning rules, cooking rules and visitor policy.
- Test your actual route to campus, office, LRT3 station, bus stop or parking exit.
- Keep handover photos and use official payment and agreement channels only.
Compared to nearby buildings
Vista Alam belongs in the Shah Alam / Seksyen 14 / UiTM-side comparison set. The right alternative depends on whether you need student convenience, city-centre access, i-City activity or a quieter family unit.
| Option | What it usually changes | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Vista Alam | Seksyen 14 / city-centre convenience and mixed serviced-apartment/SOHO stock | Vista Alam rentals |
| Shah Alam wider search | More neighbourhoods, landed homes and condo choices | Shah Alam rentals |
| Shah Alam condo guide | Building-by-building comparison for the city | Shah Alam condo guide |
If you depend on LRT3, the line is open — Stadium Shah Alam (SA14) is the nearest station — but confirm your exact route and travel time on viewing day.
Renting with Zero Deposit
Zero Deposit is available only where the specific SPEEDHOME listing shows eligibility. It is not a Vista Alam building-wide promise and it is not a financial guarantee product.
Check the live Vista Alam SPEEDHOME route for current listings, furnishing, room/unit type and Zero Deposit labels. You still need handover photos, inventory records and official payment flow even when the unit is eligible.

Check the exact listing to confirm which component you are renting.

Is Vista Alam close to LRT3?
