As the areas closer to Kuala Lumpur are growing more congested with people and traffic, a large number of homebuyers have started looking outwards to locations that are further away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
Location however plays a major role in buying a new home, and first-time home owners might want to select a home that is close to their work place to ease the pain of daily commute. But where can such an affordable and family-centric neighbourhood be found close to the city?
In response to this need, Sime Darby Property created Bukit Jelutong – the 2,200-acre development of prime land with excellent accessibility to highways. Bukit Jelutong spans lush acreage of freehold land, and is well-planned to be a low density and self-contained community.
A genuine haven can be found in Bukit Jelutong, as it carries all the essential amenities that are synonymous with today’s modern neighbourhoods. Above all, it is an exclusive residential area. Everything is peaceful, and all necessities are a hop and a skip away.
Green Living at Your Doorstep
No longer will city dwellers need to drive to a park for recreational activities or suffer a polluted environment when enjoying an evening jog, for Bukit Jelutong is a beautifully designed township which has parks and open green spaces incorporated into its designs.
Aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, Bukit Jelutong is also home to the Sime Darby Football Club where the players train at the neighbourhood Bukit Jelutong Training Facility. The facility features a full sized football field with floodlights and well maintained grass.
Bukit Jelutong is also a golfers’ haven for its proximity to some of the country’s top golf clubs. Within a 20-minute radius of Bukit Jelutong are Glenmarie Golf & Country Club, Saujana Golf & Country Club, Monterez Golf & Country Club and Kelab Golf Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah.
Everyday grocery shopping is also no longer a major chore which involves much wasted time on traffic congestion, as within minutes of home are a myriad of shopping centres. The Tesco and Subang hypermarkets are mere minutes away, and Space U8, the country’s first eco mall in the country is less than 10 minutes away.
Some of the country’s best medical centres are also in the vicinity. The DEMC Specialist Centre and KPJ Specialist Hospital are only a short drive away from Bukit Jelutong. The private hemodialisis centre, Pusat Hemodialisis Shah Alam, is a short 10 minutes away.
In lieu of excellence in education, the tertiary centres nearby are KDU University College at Utropolis Glenmarie, MARA University of Technology and the Management and Science University (MSU). All these universities are within a 15-kilometre radius of Bukit Jelutong.
An interesting landmark nearby is the Masjid Tengku Ampuan Jemaah, which is named after the Sultan of Selangor’s late grandmother.
Ease of Accessibility
Complementing the excellent array of facilities in Bukit Jelutong is a comprehensive range of highways that connect residents to the city within minutes. Residents are hence within proximity to the city centre of Shah Alam as well as Bandar DiRaja Klang.
There is a dedicated exit point to Bukit Jelutong from the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) where residents can reach the Federal Highway in less than 15 minutes under clear traffic. They can also get to Setia Alam in less than 20 minutes.
Nearby is the Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE) that provides dedicated access to Rawang, and for easy access to the northern or southern states is the North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE).
With Bukit Jelutong’s strategic location, major suburbs within the Klang Valley are also minutes drive away. Subang Jaya is less than 15 minutes away, and Petaling Jaya is approximately 25 minutes away. Both the Kuala Lumpur City Centre and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) are less than an hour’s drive away.
The Future of Bukit Jelutong
Bukit Jelutong has been a major attraction for city dwellers who are looking for an affordable and family-centric yet stylish home close to the city.
The current hype of the town is Radia Residences, an integrated development that incorporates serviced apartments and an open air street mall that will be designed after Las Ramblas in Barcelona.
Across the road and complementing Radia Residences is Suria Residence and Skyz Jelutong, more family-centric homes that reflect quality and class in its build.
Coming to town soon will be the Rimbun Sanctuary Apartments which will be set next to a forest reserve, and the Rimbun Sanctuary Townhouse which will be situated within its own personal gated and guarded community.
There is still a selected number of upcoming developments to be launched. With its appeal as a self-sustaining township and its easy access to highways, Bukit Jelutong has the full attention of the public.
Rimbun Sanctuary is the much awaited for addition to Bukit Jelutong. Find out more about Rimbun Sanctuary here.
