Introduction
Titiwangsa is synonyms with the one of the biggest attractions in Kuala Lumpur, the 230 acres Titiwangsa Lake Gardens. Opened in 1980 by Tun Hussein Onn, the lake gardens was formerly a tin mines before converted to recreation area for the city folks. The lake gardens not only consists of lake but they also has sport facilities, Istana Budaya, Perpustakaan Negara and Balai Seni Lukis. (Fun fact: you can book the facilities in Kompleks Sukan Taman Tasik Titiwangsa from the link DBKL ).
Despite its long history, the area is pretty low profile and unlike area such as Bangsar, Damansara Height and DPC which have been hogging media highlights. Titiwangsa primarily occupied by bungalows, Titiwangsa golf club, schools etc. The area is pretty much developed and any new development will be heavily scrutinized by both local authority and residents. In 2017, Mahsing proposed to acquire a 3.56acre prime land in Titiwangsa for RM650m GDV however few months down the road the deal was aborted due to non-fulfillment of SPA condition. The rumor was local authority did not approve the proposed density which was part of the SPA condition.
Move forward today, there are not one but two new development are coming! Both new developments are heavily using Titiwangsa as their selling point. Are they really part of the Titiwangsa area? Would residents object to another high density development? Let’s find out.

Location, Accessibility and Surroundings
In PropcafeTM opinion, Titiwangsa is bordered between Jalan Pahang on West, Jalan Tun Razak on the South, DUKE highway on the North and Jalan Sultan Yahya Petra (formerly known as Jalan Semarak). The area enjoys a great accessibility where multiple arteries will bring the residents to Mont Kiara, KL Sentral, KLCC, Hartamas, Mid Valley within 10km.
Taman Tiara Titiwangsa Accessibility
This small pocket of land known as Taman Tiara Titiwangsa and primarily consists of undeveloped bungalow lots as well grand bungalows. Apparently this Taman Tiara Titiwangsa used to be known as Kampung Seavoy, an old settlement (part of Kampung Air Panas, a Chinese New Village) where land was reserved for senior civil servants. These plots of land were reserved for the senior government servants as a token of appreciation for their service to the country.
Essentially the residents at Taman Tiara Titiwangsa get around KL by using the road system around here whether to and from KL etc. Infact, readers can check out the road system which PropcafeTM already covered it in The Reach by Binastra review (click the link here to read the review Propcafe The Reach review )
D’ Brightton @ Titiwangsa is flanked between the Jalan Tiara Titiwangsa 3 and Jalan Ayer Panas Baharu. Despite just a hundred meter apart, there is a stark different between both roads. The roads in Taman Tiara Titiwangsa are wide with lush tree and pedestrian walkway on both sides of the road. The roads seem to be well maintained as well. However, many of these bungalow lots are left undeveloped. Where else in being old Chinese new village, you can expect zinc roof houses, chaotic arrangement, Chinese temple, narrow roads with both kerbs parked with cars etc.
