What Dutamas is

One name,
four directions.

Dutamas is a neighbourhood in north-west Kuala Lumpur with no formally drawn boundary. When people say Dutamas, they usually mean Publika and Solaris Dutamas, and the corner around MITEC and KL Metropolis. Jalan Duta lies to the east, Segambut across the railway to the north, and Mont Kiara and Sri Hartamas to the south-west.

A word from Kevin

Living here? First decide which side your days are on.

“If you work in Mont Kiara and your children are at an international school, the south side gives you more choice. If you take the train into town and your children are at a Chinese primary school, look north of the railway, at Segambut. The good thing about Dutamas is that neither side is far.”
