Where is Taman Connaught and what is it known for?
Taman Connaught sits in Cheras, in the south-east of Kuala Lumpur, between Jalan Cheras and the Cheras-Kajang corridor. It is one of the older and larger Cheras townships, surrounded by landed homes and apartments, with Taman Segar, Taman Midah and Taman Cheras next door. The area is famous for the Connaught night market, one of the longest in the Klang Valley, which brings crowds from across KL every week. UCSI University adds students and staff, and Cheras Leisure Mall is a short drive away.
Main shop streets: Jalan Cerdas, the Jalan Menara Gading rows near UCSI, and Jalan Manis on the Taman Segar side.

Typical (middle half of recent adverts), from 36 rent and 41 sale listings in the last six months. Tenure of sale units: freehold and leasehold.
Both freehold and leasehold units are on the market (15 freehold and 25 leasehold adverts), so compare tenure as well as price.
Units facing the night market route, corner lots and main-road frontage ask at the top of the range; inner rows sit lower. Asking prices are not final deals, so there is usually room to negotiate.
Which ground-floor businesses do well in Taman Connaught?
- Chinese restaurants, noodle shops and dim sum: long-standing residents eat out daily.
- Bakery, dessert and bubble tea: night market evenings and student traffic support takeaway trade.
- Mala, hotpot and supper spots: Connaught stays busy after dark.
- Pharmacy, clinic, dental and optical: a large, mature population needs everyday healthcare.
- 24h convenience store, laundromat and mini market: practical services for dense housing.
- Bank and money changer: strong local spending in an established centre.
What should tenants and investors check before signing?
- Night market day: the weekly market closes roads and changes parking; good for some trades, harder for others. Visit on that evening and on a normal day.
- Street by street footfall: Jalan Cerdas and the market route are far busier than back rows.
- Fit-out for F&B: many shophouses are older, so check exhaust routing, grease trap, water supply and three-phase power.
- Licensing: Taman Connaught falls under DBKL; confirm approved use, signage and any outdoor seating.
- Investment: compare tenure and remaining lease years alongside price. Buying the whole shoplot adds rental income from the upper floors, and ground floors attract covenant tenants such as banks, convenience chains, pharmacies, clinics and F&B chains.
