Mont Kiara or Bangsar

Hi Guys - I am moving to KL by the end of this month. Office is located in Bangsar; but most of my friends live in Mont Kiara.

Been to KL once before and I really liked Mont Kiara area - however, haven't seen Bangsar much. Does it also have a sizeable expat population? Also, is it a safe area for family?

Confused :)

Hi Maaz. Bangsar has different living environment than mont Kiara, Its depend what kind of lifestyle you want,  Bangsar is more commercial than mont kiara, and nice living houses instead apartments. Bangsar is nearer with in reach to city center in few min, many Expat live there, more choices of eating Indian / Paki / and desi foods here, public transport is nearer.
Enjoy your stay in KL

Since ur office is in Bangsar, should get somewhere closer. Coz even Bangsar & mont kiara is close by, traffic is a hassle during peak hours. Not forgetting the construction of the MRT rail.
However, i think mont kiara has more appartments, housings for rent. This u could ask ur friends that is already in Mont kiara
