Top Neighbourhoods in Malaysia
When you say “Klang,” the first thing that most people think of is the aromatic smell of the city’s renowned and authentic bak kut teh, a local meat dish cooked in herbal broth. Being one of the oldest cities in Malaysia, Klang contains many historical beauties that even locals might miss. Formerly known as “Kelang” by older generations, it used to be a royal capital of the Selangor state and is a royal city that possesses a history that predates even Melaka. In fact, remnants of prehistoric ...
Petaling Jaya, more commonly known as “PJ”, is a massive city that sprawls over a wide area of Selangor. It is the first ever planned town in Malaysia and its population has grown dramatically over the years. The area now hosts enticing hotspots including Jump Street Asia, the largest trampoline park in Asia. The city’s development began in 1952 within the area now known as “Old Town.” It was where the first 800 houses were built. PJ was initially developed as the satellite township for Kuala ...

Petaling Jaya
Known for their award-winning developer and concepts, Setia Alam is a well-planned township in Shah Alam that hosts a peaceful lifestyle in a green city. Taking a walk in its lush greenery is inspiring and calming. Formerly an oil palm estate spanning over 4,000 acres of land, Setia Alam has evolved into the flagship development by SP Setia Group that you see today. It is home to Setia Eco Park, the winner of the World’s Best Master Plan Development in 2007. The township has become the standa ...
Setia Alam
Setia Alam is one of the best place to live due to its superb township planning and grenery parks. It has most of the shops and malls that you need; hence no reason to travel out of Setia Alam during weekends. Traffic towards NKVE during weekdays morning can be challenging but manageable.

Setia Alam
Subang Jaya is home to well known educational facilities, long-lasting traffic, and bubble tea. Subang Jaya is a large township, referred to as Subang by locals. Subang Jaya was a rubber plantation in the 1970s. Now, the area shows no signs of its origins with its large, bustling population. The entirety of the area was developed by Sime Darby. Most of Subang Jaya consists of landed properties. Prices of property have steadily increased over the years. 10 years ago, a house could be boug ...
Subang Jaya
I grew up in this vicinity and I absolutely love this neighborhood. From the location of being so accessible to almost anywhere to having one of the best amenities in a stone's throw distance, there are no reasons to actually get out from Subang and hence the joke of people saying Subangites are rather selfish and they do not go out from Subang. But jokes aside, I would like to believe Subang will be the next Bangsar or MK in years to come. The traffic can be haphazard at times but it's at a managable level, the food variety is acceptable and the people are just friendlier on so many level.

Subang Jaya
Cheras is known for its amazing food, infamous traffic, and being self-contained. This is not surprising, given that it is a developed and sprawling township. It is both a suburb and a district, which straddles both the states of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. This township was once just a small and sleepy tin mining town that was home to a mere 500 residents. However, due to overpopulation in Kuala Lumpur over the years, Cheras was gradually developed into the metropolis it is today. Cheras is ...

TTDI
TTDI is one of the best blue chip suburbs in the KL/PJ area. It is well established suburb with lots of VIPs so safety and security is great if you are on the right street. Also it's one of the last places to experience water cuts and electricity cuts thanks to aforementioned VIPs. It recently experienced a 'hipsterisation' and there are lots of hipster cafes well balanced with great local hawker fare too. It has amazing accessibility to KL and surrounding areas via the LDP and Penchala Links / Sprint Highways. Parkwise, it has the award winning Desa Kiara and Taman Rimba Kiara parks, not to mention the Kiara Hill for exercise. Not too high density as high rise buildings are at a premium. Best streets are the Athinahpan area and Datuk Sulaiman in my opinion. Got a small but cosy kids library too. Great place to stay, as reflected by the ever increasing house prices. Amenities wise, the PJ Golden Triangle (1 Utama, The Curve, IPC / Tesco) is a stone's throw away and there is the awesome TTDI Wet Market if you're looking for fresh food and produce. Even Tropicana City Mall is nearby and the new Glo Damansara retail outlet is opening in July 2015 for even more choice. Also, the new MRT will provide even more convenient access to KL once it opens in 2016 / 2017. For one of the best suburbs outside of KL, look no further.

Puchong
The traffic is horrible during the peak hours. Other than that, this is a very convenience place, a lot of amenities and facilities can be found at here, like schools, banks, hospitals, shops, restaurants and park. A great place to raise a family.

Damansara Jaya
awesome location. Great access to most areas, but still very quiet, I'm guessing due to the continued presence of big old trees to dampen the noises. Crime rate is going up tho, but i reckon that's the same for any area these days.

Desa ParkCity
Pretty like this town area, well-panned and well-maintained place I have ever seen. The well-known central park, a nice place to chill out with family, friends or even pet. A great place to live in but a bit pricey.

Subang Jaya
This is where I grew up and live in. Traffic is horrendous only at certain area such as Summit USJ area and sometimes SS15 due to colleges and overload of eateries. As for crime level, there are innumerous landed houses which has been broken into and snatch-thefts are quite common too. Apart from that, I love Subang Jaya! :-)

Bukit Jalil
I've only ever had to go to Bukit Jalil for concerts and football matches at the stadium so the only thing I disliked about the area is the traffic. No matter how early you are, or whichever day it is, traffic is still bad. Every time I'm there, it's a standstill. I should try going there on weekends, just to see what traffic's like then.

Mont Kiara
This place is filled with expats , many families are attracted here due to the existence of international schools, malls and centrally located commercial districts. Amenities are within blocks of homes, and hospital, banks and easy access to highways. I used to work in this area, there are plenty of places for entertainment here such as bars and restaurants.

Cheras
I was born and raised in Cheras. Despite the traffic jam, Cheras is a vibrant and joyful place with great neighborhoods. Cheras is a home to a lot of night markets and bazaars (including KL downtown), many good eateries, shopping malls (Cheras Leisure Mall, Connaught Market Centre (Giant Hypermarket), Carrefour Cheras, Jaya Jusco Taman Maluri, Viva Home, AEON Jusco Cheras Selatan, Cheras Sentral Shopping Mall, Hero Super Market (located at Bandar Sri Permaisuri) and Aeon Jusco Mahkota Cheras . Cheras also famous for its schools (Alam Shah Science School, SM Sains Selangor) and institutions of higher learning (YPC-iTWEB, UCSI, HELP, UTAR). Cheras hosts the Star LRT Line, ERL Expressway, KTM Intercity Railway and the new Interstate bus station, Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS). Major highways in Cheras include Jalan Cheras, Cheras-Kajang Highway, SMART tunnel Highway, MEX Highway (Kuala Lumpur-Putrajaya), and KESAS Highway. Cheras also is a part of newly proposed Klang Valley MRT, with MRT station at Taman Pertama, Taman Midah, Cheras Leisure Mall, Plaza Phoenix, Taman Suntex, Bandar Tun Hussein Onn station and Taman Cuepacs. The proposed MRT line is named as MRT Line 1 (Sungai Buloh-Kajang MRT Line). With the completion of MRT line in Cheras-Kajang, the traffic jams are expected to be improved. This obviously a major boost for the developments of many more residential & commercial properties in Cheras-Kajang now and coming years.

Sri Petaling
Busy place with high traffic volume. Highly accessible zone to kesas/ kl. Many eateries around the area. Place is quite dodgy; security must be stepped up around Sri petaling.

Bandar Sunway
Despite the fact that Sunway is super convenient due to the huge shopping mall, Sunway Pyramid, I wouldn't want to live here, not unless it's the South Quay high-end development area. Most of the properties here are swamp by college student, therefore it could get a little noisy, filthy and safety issues. If I'm raising a family, I wouldn't choose to live here.

Ara Damansara
Pretty new township and still very quiet. Can easily access to Subang Airport Highway and NKVE. It might be pretty jam during the peak hours. The Oasis Square got not a few nice restaurants.
