TOWNSHIPS OF SENTUL

Sentul, a suburban area situated in the northern part of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital city, is a thriving neighborhood that offers a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial developments. It has a rich history that dates back to the 19th century when it was primarily a plantation area for rubber and palm oil. During World War II, Sentul was a target for attack because two railways here were owned by the Japanese Occupation. After the destruction of the railways, the Japanese Occupation in Malaysia ended.

Today, Sentul has become a top sought-after place for new developments, and it hosts a mix of charming traditional buildings and modern high-rises glinting across the skyline. In 2002, YTL Land and Development took over to revitalize the area with the Sentul Masterplan that divides it into Sentul East and Sentul West.

The property market here has been healthy with growing demand over the past decade, mainly due to its proximity to Kuala Lumpur city centre (5 km away) and excellent connectivity. Sentul’s strategic location, excellent road networks, and many available public transportation options make it an affordable option for investors who want a place near the city centre.

Sentul is known for its numerous amenities, including shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, and entertainment venues. One of the key attractions is the Sentul Park, which spans over 35 acres and features a lake, jogging tracks, picnic areas, and a playground. The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC), opened in Sentul in 2005, is another popular attraction that hosts a range of theater productions, musical performances, and cultural events. This has made Sentul the home of Malaysia’s arts and culture icon.

The suburb is accessible via major highways such as the DUKE and MRR2 and can be reached by bus, LRT train, and KTM Komuter train. Additionally, the new MRT Sentul Barat Station (MRT Putrajaya Line) provides an additional option for public transportation.

Overall, Sentul is an excellent neighborhood for individuals or families seeking a quiet place away from the bustling city centre but close enough to indulge in all of Kuala Lumpur’s offerings.
