Seremban 2 is a self-contained township that offers a wholesome living experience, complete with community friendly amenities and facilities within a safe and serene environment. The development is IJM Land’s flagship development in Negeri Sembilan. It was launched in 1995, and spans across 2,300 acres of freehold land. S2 Heights is part of Seremban 2 and it covers over 1,500 acres. Thus, in total, Seremban 2 covers 3,800 acres.
Seremban 2 has emerged as one of the most progressive and successful developments in Negeri Sembilan, and according to their website, the development is currently at 80% completion with population of 62,000 residents. It is expected to reach a population of approximately 100,000 upon maturity.
Seremban 2 was a joint venture between IJM Land and the Negeri Sembilan state government. It serves as an extension to the congested Seremban town, and as the gateway to the Greater Klang Valley under the National Structure Plan which gazetted 30% of Negeri Sembilan, including Port Dickson, Nilai, and Labu.
Within Seremban 2, there are plenty of amenities that are readily accessible, thanks to the approximately 1,500 commercial units in the township. The units are occupied by restaurants, boutiques, workshops, service centres, entertainment outlets, banks, and many others. There are also government service offices such as the Malaysian Customs Department and the Malaysia Palm Oil Board in the township.
Community activities were regularly held to bring residents together. For example, they’ve held carnivals, the IJM run, open houses, appreciation nights, musical fiesta, art exhibitions, and many more.

There are several shopping malls in Seremban 2, such as AEON, Lotus’s, Mydin Mall, and NSK Trade City. There are also numerous education institutions at Seremban, including Sekolah Kebangsaan Seremban 2A and 2B, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bukit Kepayang, and Zenith International School. Universiti Teknologi MARA Seremban is a short drive from the township, and Negeri Sembilan’s education hub at Nilai is less than an hour’s drive away.

Initially, purchasers were mainly from Seremban or neighbouring areas. Over the years, many from the Klang Valley have chosen to settle down in Seremban 2.
