PETALING JAYA: Soaring property prices in city areas, coupled with their low salaries, have made owning a home at their preferred locations an unattainable dream for young people, which is why many continue to rent.
According to the National Property Information Centre, the average price of a condominium or apartment in the Batu district in Kuala Lumpur is RM735,000, while a similar property in the Setapak district, also in Kuala Lumpur, costs RM430,000.
