Surrounding Bangsar Properties

Due to overwhelming demand for properties in Bangsar, there are plenty of new properties developments nearby the area. In fact, UOA Group (which is a reputable and renowned developer) has coined a new township which is so-called next Bangsar - named Bangsar South. Let's look at those potential properties on the fringe of Bangsar.

Currently, the developer only released Acacia and Begonia units for registration. In near future, the developer plans launch Cypress Service Suites .

It is strategically located bordering Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur - making it the centre of attraction within these two vicinities. Mid Valley Northpoint is favored as it is directly connected to Mid Valley Megamall. Hence, residents can work in the next block and shop and dine at the shopping mall - all within walking distance.
