Location

Wangsa Maju station is the third last station northwards to Gombak.

The station is situated directly within the northern Kuala Lumpur suburb of Wangsa Maju. The station, located along the main thoroughfare of Jalan 1/27A (Malay; English: 1/27A Road) running from the northwest to the southeast, is wedged between two residential estates: Section 1 of Wangsa Maju to the southwest and Desa Setapak (Setapak Countryside) to the northwest, with Section 2 of Wangsa Maju located further northwest. In addition to accessibility from Jalan 1/27A, the station is also connected via Jalan 16/27B (16/27B Road), Desa Setapak's residential road.

Due to its proximity to various shopping centres, Alpha Angle and Aeon Big, and two higher education institutions - which are TARC and UTAR - in the region, the station is usually busy during the weekdays.
