Setia Alam is an affluent young township in the heart of the Klang Valley, and an extremely popular location for homebuyers. Setia Alam property is comprised of a variety of different developments, including the award-winning Setia Eco Park, a gated and guarded community of luxury bungalows and semi-detached housing.
The first development in Setia Alam was launched in 2004, and since then has gone on to become one of the Klang Valley’s most desirable addresses. This affluent suburb is located in the Shah Alam area of Selangor, and boasts a fully integrated and purpose-built community with a particular focus on natural design. A unique aspect of this design comes in the form of the township’s ‘Village Green’ areas, a focal point of green space for each community interconnected by landscaped pedestrian walkways. The natural charm of Setia Alam makes this a popular and affluent neighbourhood, with a Setia Alam house for sale on PropertyGuru reaching up to RM8.5 million today for a high-end luxury bungalow.
Setia City Mall is the sparkling jewel at the centre of this self-contained neighbourhood, a modern integrated shopping centre offering extensive retail, F&B, and entertainment options. It is home to popular department store Parkson, as well as a range of entertainment outlets such as a branch of Golden Screen Cinemas and Wangsa Bowl, as well as a karaoke venue and a number of arcades.
Residents can indulge their craving for outdoor activities in neighbouring Setia City Mall Town Park, a 10.5-acre landscaped park complete with waterfront views and modern childrens playground. Popular Setia Alam Central Park is another outdoor alternative, with basketball courts, jogging tracks, and also home to a playpark for the kids.
Urbanfresh Supermarket in Setia City is one of a number of local supermarkets to meet resident’s shopping needs. It offers standard grocery staples alongside a more limited global offering, with a leaning towards international Asian food. Tesco Setia Alam and Giant Hypermarket Klang Sentral provide two other conveniently located hypermarket alternatives, with a huge range of shopping goods all under one roof.
Setia Alam is home to a number of international and private schools located throughout the area, as well as those in nearby townships such as Shah Alam and Subang Jaya. Idrissi International School, Dwi Emas International School, Peninsular International School Australia, and Tenby Schools Setia Eco Park are just a few of the highly regarded private school options for primary and secondary education within the township. The neighbourhood is also home to Setia Badminton Academy, which offers focused badminton training alongside casual court hire.
Setia Alam food is primarily focused around the dining opportunities of Setia City Mall, making this a major focal point of restaurants in the neighbourhood. A further food-focused hub can be found around the area of Jalan Setia Prima, which is also home to Setia Alam’s popular night market.
Despite the popularity of the neighbourhood, connectivity remains one of the major challenges that residents of the area must struggle with. Public transport is limited, with RapidKL bus services connecting to Shah Alam providing the major link to connections throughout the Klang Valley. The closest railway station is KTM Klang, over 7km from the township.
Road links from Setia Alam are focused around major links to the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) but traffic congestion can be significant during rush hour, as residents of the popular suburb all channel towards the same travel routes. Plans to tackle the congestion include an expansion of the highway and further feeder roads to ease jams at busy times.
