What Makes Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) So Special?
As a realtor, the most common question I get from clients who are not familiar with TTDI is: What makes this place so special?
o When you look up TTDI houses for sale, you’d find:
RM1.3M – 1.8M for an old, run-down 40 years old terrace house.
o When you look up TTDI single storey houses for sale, you might be surprised to find:
RM 1.18M for a single storey house with no renovation but getting snapped up within days.
Are you wondering why?
Where is TTDI Located?
The easy, simple way to justify the price tag is to say that the centrality of its location. You will see on the map that TTDI is surrounded by major highways leading to Petaling Jaya or KLCC -- Penchala Link, Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong -- and just a short drive from the Kerinchi Link.

There is also an MRT TTDI Station. For those of you who would like to search, the station code is SBK10. There are feeder busses going around the area to take residents to the station. For more information on the feeder bus schedule within TTDI, you can head over to: https://www.mrt.com.my/feeder_bus/index.htm
However, there are many other locations within Klang Valley that can offer similar conveniences and probably at a slightly lower price tag.
So, what more does TTDI have to offer?
Amenities and Facilities in TTDI
That the amenities are in abundance and that there are commercial conveniences within the area.
Start your day with a latte from Quartet. Scoot over to Dusun to grab some kombucha and fresh fruits before heading to your car to pick up your laundry at Zeccy.
You might want to grab some fresh vegetables and fish from your local grocers: Fresh Grocer or Ever Fresh before going to Maybank/CIMB/RHB/ to take care of your financial errands.
In the evening, perhaps you’d like to go for a little stroll around the park then you head to Taman Bukit Kiara. If you wish to go for a hike, just drive over to the TTDI hills for a pleasant hike.
Do all the above without leaving the TTDI vicinity. Now, isn’t that convenience at your fingertips?
The TTDI Community

The lifestyle and conveniences the area offer fits the demographic of the modern family: Young or Retired.
TTDI is a special and unique place to live because of its community. It is a community that has shown over time that all it stands for and its efforts to make this a better place is to leave a legacy: to leave this place better for the next generation. You will find that the parks are well-kept & the streets are clean. When there is debris or rubbish – someone takes the initiative to call the local authorities to do something about it.
In the early 2000s, TTDI’s crime rate was on the rise. The residents then decided that something had to be done for the good of this neighborhood through a new policing programme. The initiative — a collaboration between the Home Ministry, Performance Management and Delivery Unit, and the Malaysian Digital Economy Corp, which aims to speed up tasks and give the police enough time to investigate cases — entails equipping police personnel with protective gear, logistics tools and non-lethal weapons such as stun guns, body cameras and other system improvements.
Through this programme, the crime rate in TTDI has fallen by 40% just 20 months after the programme kickstarted. In the early stages, monthly meetings with the residence were held to keep an open dialogue. The community here is highly intellectual with strong civic mindedness. This makes the area a very safe and healthy environment to raise a family.
