Taman Sungai MasRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Smart Money"
With a median price of RM16/m², this area is firmly in the SMART_MONEY category for those who want more square footage without the city center price tag. The 2.0/5 rating reflects the lack of modern infrastructure, but the neighborhood analysis shows it’s a solid hedge against rising rents in nearby Likas. It’s a purely pragmatic play for renters who prioritize space and aren't chasing the latest lifestyle trends.
The Vibe:Taman Sungai Mas is an unpretentious, older residential patch that prioritizes quiet over convenience. It’s dominated by terrace houses and long-term locals who don't mind being a bit removed from the main road noise of Jalan Tuaran. You won't find a cafe scene here, just functional living within striking distance of Pekan Menggatal.

Locals Ask
Does the neighborhood flood often?
It sits slightly higher than the notorious flood zones in central Menggatal, but the drainage in older sections can struggle during heavy monsoon rain.
What is the average rent for a standard terrace here?
Based on m² stats, you are looking at RM1,200 to RM1,600 depending on how much the landlord has bothered to renovate.
Is public transport an option?
Not really; the bus routes stay on the main road and Grabs can be sparse during the morning rush, so you definitely need a car.
How is the traffic situation?
Jalan Tuaran is a bottleneck during peak hours, and getting into Kota Kinabalu can take 45 minutes if you time it wrong.
Is the investment outlook positive for landlords?
It's stable but slow; capital appreciation is sluggish compared to newer developments, but the rental demand from local workers remains consistent.
