Residensi Taman Melati is a new RUMAWIP (Residensi Wilayah) affordable housing development located in Taman Melati, Setapak, Kuala Lumpur. As part of the government’s initiative to provide homeownership opportunities for middle-income residents, this project is slated for launch in Q4 2025 as a leasehold property offering 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom units sized at 830 sq ft, priced at RM300,000 with free legal fees and one car park included.

The development comprises two residential towers (Block A: 33 floors, Block B: 40 floors) with an estimated 1000 units. Units feature practical layouts, each including a balcony, and come partially furnished as per RUMAWIP guidelines.

Residensi Taman Melati embraces an urban-lifestyle concept rooted in affordability and community living. It offers a thoughtfully designed environment with four unique facility zones—the Legend Pool Zone, Gathering Zone, Serenity Zone, and Fun Zone—creating diverse spaces for recreation and relaxation.

Facilities include a 30 m swimming pool, wading pool for children, indoor gym, sky multipurpose hall, playground, BBQ area, badminton court, yoga/aerobic room, laundry facilities, café house, reading cube, and garden lounge. The goal is to foster a sense of community while providing practical lifestyle amenities.
