The rising prices of property in and around the KL City Centre have caused property buyers and developers to start exploring hidden gem neighbourhoods to tap into their potential. One such neighbourhood is Setiawangsa. Nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Setiawangsa has recently emerged as a sought-after destination for buyers and investors.

Setiawangsa has undergone significant transformation over the years. The foothill and mid-hill areas were originally part of Bukit Dinding, developed gradually in the 1980s and eventually renamed Bukit Setiawangsa. It has come a long way from its beginnings as an unassuming suburb into the thriving urban centre it is today. Let’s look at some of the reasons why Setiawangsa has become a sought-after address for property buyers today.

Unparalleled connectivity and accessibility for its residents

Setiawangsa has easy access to major highways such as DUKE, MRR2, SPE and SUKE & AKLEH, which offers its residents easy access to places such as Petaling Jaya, Ampang and Sungai Besi. This gives Setiawangsa residents access to most major city centres around the Klang Valley.

Setiawangsa residents also have access to the Putra LRT line through the Setiawangsa station, which will give it east commute access to the heart of KL city, Petaling Jaya and Subang.

The potential resident of The Vesta Residences by Skysierra gets an even sweeter deal as the high-rise development will be located just walking distance away from the new proposed AU 2 MRT station from the upcoming MRT 3 Circle Line and only a short 1.5km away from the existing Setiawangsa LRT station. Commuting has never been easier, and you can say a proper goodbye to those hours stuck in traffic.

A self-contained township

One of the attractions of Setiawangsa is just how well-planned the township is, which ensures that many of its developments are strategically located and offers great conveniences to residents.

For example, the aforementioned The Vesta Residences is just a short 5km away from the main business centre in Setiawangsa, where residents will have access to amenities such as clinics, banks and F&B outlets. The AEON Mall AU2, which is the neighbourhood mall in Setiawangsa, is within walking distance from The Vesta Residences.

The Bukit Setiawangsa Park serves as a central green oasis for residents of Setiawangsa, providing an opportunity to embrace an outdoor lifestyle and engage in activities such as walking, cycling, and catering to a variety of other recreational preferences.

A suburb within the city

One of the main selling points of Setiawangsa is its proximity to the City Centre. It is situated just 9km away from KLCC, so all the world-class lifestyle and dining options that KL city offers are merely a 10-minute drive away for Setiawangsa residents.

Yet, it still retains its serene suburb feel, which makes it special because it allows its residents the excitement and convenience that comes from living just a short distance away from the City Centre without having to give up the residential feel of a suburb.

This makes it a township suitable for working professionals and young families because of its proximity to the major business centre in the Klang Valley and for multi-generational families because of its serenity.
