Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya: Neighbourhood Review & Property Guide

Last updated: May 2026 | By Ian Fan | Reading time: ~8 min

Ara Damansara is a 739-acre (2.99 km²) residential township in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, developed from 1999 by Sime Pilmoor Development Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sime Darby Berhad. Today it encompasses approximately 4,000 units across a diverse mix of property types — from leasehold high-rise condominiums and serviced residences to freehold gated-and-guarded landed enclaves. It is bordered by Tropicana to the north, Kelana Jaya to the south, Bandar Utama to the east, and Shah Alam to the west.


Property Prices in Ara Damansara

Ara Damansara has a dual-tenure property market — one of the most important things to understand before buying here. The high-rise condominiums and serviced residences are predominantly leasehold, while the landed gated-and-guarded residential enclaves are freehold. Both can share the same Ara Damansara postcode, so always verify the specific land title (geran) before purchasing.

Based on Brickz.my transacted data (Aug 2024 – Jul 2025), the overall area median across all 192 residential transactions is RM 520,000 / RM 556 psf.
