Jalan Cheras Shops for Rent & Sale
Jalan Cheras is the long main road running from the city's edge through Cheras, with the MRT Kajang Line running along much of it. Shoplots along and just off it serve some of KL's densest neighbourhoods.

Where is the shop stretch on Jalan Cheras?
Jalan Cheras runs south east from the edge of the city centre through Cheras towards the Kajang direction. The MRT Kajang Line runs along much of it, with Maluri station serving the Taman Maluri hub and Taman Connaught station serving the Taman Connaught hub. Shoplots line parts of the road itself, but most ground-floor trade sits in the townships just off it.
Which stretch of Jalan Cheras is best for a shop?
The stretches around Taman Maluri, with AEON Taman Maluri, Sunway Velocity and the Maluri interchange nearby, and around Taman Connaught, with its weekly night market and UCSI University, draw the biggest crowds. Units facing Jalan Cheras get visibility from heavy traffic, while rows one street in rely on residents and are easier to park at. Because the road is long, customers near the city end are mostly commuters and workers, while further out they are mostly families from the estates.
How much is shop rent on Jalan Cheras?
There are too few recent ground-floor adverts on Jalan Cheras itself to give a fair range, and asking rents vary with stretch, size and frontage. Recent sale adverts leaned leasehold, so check the remaining lease on any unit. For a fuller picture of the area, see Cheras shops for rent and Cheras shoplots for sale, which include the township rows off the main road.
What businesses do well on Jalan Cheras?
- Chinese and Malaysian F&B, kopitiam, noodle shops and economy rice
- Bakeries, cafés and bubble tea near MRT stations and students
- Pharmacies, clinics, dental and optical for dense housing
- Banks and 24 hour convenience stores wanting main road exposure
- Car accessory and tyre shops on the busier stretches
When is Jalan Cheras busiest?
Morning and evening rush hours bring the heaviest traffic. F&B near the townships peaks at breakfast and dinner, and the Taman Connaught night market draws large evening crowds on its weekly night.
Parking and access
Peak hour congestion on Jalan Cheras is heavy. Units with a service road and parking in front, or rows one street in, are much easier for customers to reach than units facing the main carriageway with no stopping.
What to check before renting or buying
- Compare a main road unit with a township row a street away on rent and parking.
- Check the title and remaining lease, since much sale stock is leasehold.
- Confirm approved use and signage with DBKL.
- For a whole shoplot, the upper floors add rental income.
