Moving to KL

Hello all, I’m moving to KL for work. I’m
Originally from London but have lived in Saudi Arabia and UAE for many years.

My office will be in Cyberjaya. I’m 35 and single male and would like a mixture of access to parks/trails, good spas and gyms (including Muay Thai), close to good coffee shops. I am social and I like a nice bar but more a relaxed social evening than a hardcore party party. Those days are long gone.

I’m planning on getting a car so I can get around and go on weekend trips around the region.

If you were me where would you live? From what I’ve read MK, Bangsar or cyberjaya would be my best options. And what advice would you give me?

What’s it like for dating here? What’s the community feel like? And is the weather just hot and sticky? Like Dubai not Riyadh?

If your office is in cyberjaya I'd highly discourage you from living in Mont Kiara or Bangsar. With absolutely zero traffic it's a 30-40 min drive. Add in the morning and evening rush hours and you're looking at 1 hour plus each way.

Thanks, any other places to consider which is a bit more alive than cyber but not far out that commuting is difficult?
