Section 2 Rent Prices in Shah Alam 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
With a median price of RM13.8/m², this area sits firmly in THE_GRID as a functional, high-demand rental zone that lacks any modern polish. You are paying for the proximity to the university and the lake, not for high-spec interiors or gated security. It is a solid utilitarian choice, but the investment outlook is strictly focused on yield from students rather than capital growth.
The Vibe:Section 2 is dominated by the gravity of the UiTM main campus and the sprawling Taman Tasik Shah Alam. The streets are lined with aging double-story terraces and walk-up flats that prioritize utility over aesthetics. You will spend a significant portion of your life fighting for a parking spot near the Medan Selera during peak lunch hours.
The median rent price in Section 2, Shah Alam is RM13.8 per m² per month, 37% below the Shah Alam city average of RM22/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of May 2026.

Locals Ask
Why is the m² stats range so wide in Section 2?
Prices fluctuate between RM10.2 and RM17.5/m² based entirely on whether a unit is a neglected walk-up flat or a renovated terrace house.
Is the average rent worth it for young families?
Only if you value the park proximity; otherwise, the lack of gated security and the congested narrow streets make it a tough sell.
How is the investment outlook for landlords?
Occupancy is nearly guaranteed due to the student population, but don't expect to raise rents significantly without major renovations.
What is the biggest downside of living in Section 2?
The infrastructure is showing its age, and the high-density student living often leads to noise and trash management issues.
Are there any modern condo developments in this section?
No, Section 2 is almost exclusively legacy landed property and low-rise apartments; for modern high-rises, you have to look at Section 7 or 13.
