Maluri station is located close to Jalan Cheras, close to Kerayong River
, with access points towards the road and the eastern tip of Taman Miharja
(Miharja Estate). As implied by name, Maluri station is intended to serve the locality of Taman Maluri
to the northest, as well as surrounding housing estates, including Taman Pertama (First Estate) and Taman Kobena (Kobena Estate) to the southeast and a portion of Taman Miharja to the west. Taman Miharja is also partially served by the neighbouring Miharja station

The station is currently the only elevated station along the Chan-Sow Lin-Ampang route, owing to fact that the original KTM tracks close to the station crossed Jalan Cheras as a level crossing
. During construction of STAR over the old KTM route, it became necessary to run the STAR line over the road to prevent frequent traffic stoppages and eliminate the possibility of collisions between the trains and road vehicles (similarly, certain roadways crossing the original tracks were also converted into elevated flyover
s over levelled tracks). Maluri station, which was built directly southwest from the crossing, was thus required to adapt to the track's height.
