Section 14 Rent Prices in Petaling Jaya 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
With a median price of RM20/m², you aren't paying for luxury; you're paying for a 10-minute walk to the train. The neighborhood lands squarely in THE_GRID because while the infrastructure is showing its age, the demand from urban workers keeps the floor from dropping. It is a pragmatist's choice—fairly priced for the utility, provided you can handle the lack of street parking and the 1980s drainage systems.
The Vibe:Section 14 is a gritty, functional sprawl of aging double-storey terraces and dense commercial blocks anchored by the Asia Jaya LRT. It is the literal headquarters for people who need to be near Digital Mall or the Federal Highway but hate modern high-rise fluff. The area is defined by massive afternoon traffic jams and a population that values proximity to a grocery store over a manicured park.
The median rent price in Section 14, Petaling Jaya is RM20 per m² per month, 21% below the Petaling Jaya city average of RM25.25/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of May 2026.

Locals Ask
Is the rent hike justified for these older units?
Only if you work along the LRT line; otherwise, RM20/m² for a house built in the 70s feels steep.
How is the parking situation for residents?
If your unit doesn't have a private driveway, prepare for a daily war with shoppers and office workers blocking your gate.
What is the investment outlook for Section 14?
It's a yield play for student or worker rentals rather than capital appreciation, given the lack of new development space.
Are there any modern condos in this price range?
Not really; the RM12.5 - RM28/m² range mostly covers dated apartments and landed terraces with basic renovations.
Is it safe to walk to the Asia Jaya LRT at night?
It is generally okay due to the high foot traffic, but the street lighting in the residential backstreets is notoriously patchy.
