Relocating to KL with family - seeking advice on schools, condos, and commuting

Ask Malaysians :blurp:

TL;DR:

Moving to KL with my husband and two kids (12 & 6). Husband will work in TTDI. We’re considering Sayfol International School and a 3BR condo in Jalan Ampang. No car for now — relying on train/Grab.

Questions for locals:

  1. How practical is commuting from Ampang to TTDI daily?

  2. Thoughts on Sayfol and any alternative schools for kids in Year 7 and Year 2?

  3. Tips for finding a family-friendly condo, and negotiating parking fees if unused?

  4. Better neighborhoods near TTDI for families with children?

  5. Any other advice for families starting fresh in KL?

We’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences from Malaysians — it would make this move much easier!❤️
