Quick answer: River Park or Khaya Residences?
Choose River Park if you want the lower price (from RM 604,000, or from about RM 799 per square foot), the lower monthly fee (RM 0.352 psf including sinking fund), two car parks or more per home, and completion soonest, with a target of Q3 2026. Choose Khaya Residences if you want the LRT about 300 m away, Mid Valley and KL Eco City close by, a wider choice of 19 layouts from a 630 sq ft 1-bedroom to a 1,321 sq ft 3-bedroom, and you can wait for completion, expected in Q2 2029.

Location: how they differ
The two are about 1.0 km apart in a straight line, but they sit on different road and rail networks. Khaya is on Jalan Bangsar at the Kerinchi end, within a short walk of three stations (Kerinchi LRT about 300 m, Abdullah Hukum LRT about 360 m and Abdullah Hukum KTM about 390 m), with KL Eco City Mall about 480 m and Mid Valley Megamall about 710 m. River Park is on Jalan Pantai Dalam, with direct access from the Federal Highway and the NPE; its rail link is Angkasapuri KTM, about 300 m by walkway, and its review lists Mid Valley City at about 3.7 km and Abdullah Hukum LRT and KTM at about 3.8 km, so I would treat both as a drive. The developer plans a shuttle to Mid Valley City and Abdullah Hukum LRT for two years after completion, at its discretion. Both are close to Sekolah Kebangsaan Bangsar: about 90 m from Khaya and about 680 m from River Park.
| Nearby (approximate) | River Park | Khaya Residences |

Price per square foot and monthly cost
River Park starts from about RM 799 per square foot; Khaya is about RM 1,157 to 1,434 (gross), so River Park is clearly the cheaper of the two per square foot. Its fee is lower too: RM 0.352 psf against about RM 0.50 psf, both including the sinking fund. For comparable units (maintenance fee only):
| Comparable unit | River Park | Khaya Residences |
|---|---|---|
| Two bedrooms, about 860 to 870 sq ft | A3 / A4, 861 sq ft: about RM 303 a month | D, 869 sq ft: about RM 430 a month |
| About 1,000 sq ft | About RM 352 a month | About RM 500 a month |
| Three bedrooms, about 1,160 to 1,180 sq ft | B, 1,180 sq ft: about RM 415 a month | K, 1,164 sq ft: about RM 580 a month |

My view: who should pick which
The gap here is price against location. River Park is the value buy: it is much cheaper per square foot, the monthly fee is lower, every home has two bathrooms and two car parks or more, it has a residential title, and it is due first, with a target of Q3 2026. What you give up is walkability: Mid Valley and the LRT are a drive or a shuttle ride, not a walk, and half the homes have no balcony. Khaya is the location buy: three stations within about 400 m, KL Eco City and Mid Valley close by, a Bangsar address, and far more layout choice, from a 630 sq ft 1-bedroom to a 1,321 sq ft 3-bedroom. You pay a higher price per square foot for that, and you wait until Q2 2029 in a 61-storey tower of 795 homes.
Pick River Park if…
- you want the lower price per square foot, from about RM 799;
- you want the lower monthly fee, RM 0.352 psf including sinking fund;
- you have two cars and want two car parks with the unit;
- you want to move in or let out sooner, with a target completion of Q3 2026.
Pick Khaya Residences if…
- you commute by LRT, with Kerinchi LRT about 300 m away;
- you want Mid Valley and KL Eco City close by;
- you want a 1-bedroom or 1 + 1 from 630 sq ft, or a 3-bedroom larger than 1,180 sq ft;
- you want more than 40 facilities, including a 50 m lap pool.
