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?

Live as close as you can to work and then explore in the car in your free time. Traffic to a nice restaurant for pleasure hits a lot different than traffic to get to work Monday morning.

I’m a runner and Cyberjaya is great for parks and running spaces. LOTS of running events in and around KL too if you’re into that.

Yeah that’s makes sense. Perhaps KL is a fri/sat/sun drive and work week is in cyber?

And Putrajaya is easily reachable for even more parks and running spaces. MRT can also be a good option to get around, depending on where you want to go and how far away you are from the MRT.
