Kajang

General Description

Situated in the southeastern region of Selangor, Kajang offers more than just its renowned satay and hot pepper soup. It's approximately 20km away from Kuala Lumpur and less than 15 minutes from Putrajaya and Cyberjaya.

After emerging as the district capital of Hulu Langat following the Klang War in 1807, Kajang gained prominence. Its connectivity with Putrajaya, the Malaysian Administrative Centre, has further enhanced its significance. The town's transformation was catalyzed by coffee estates in the 1890s, contributing to the rise of neighborhoods like Balakong, Bandar Damai Perdana, and Country Heights alongside Kajang.

Incorporating both affordable and upscale housing options, Kajang now thrives as a vibrant address for urban residents. The completion of the Sungai Buloh-Kajang MRT line in 2017 ushered in a new era of property development, adding to the town's dynamism. Three MRT stations—Sungai Jernih, Stadium Kajang, and Kajang—enrich the town's connectivity.

Despite its "Satay Town" moniker, Kajang holds diverse allure beyond culinary fame. It is a mature township with amenities catering to convenience and a high quality of life. Recreation is well-covered with parks like Kajang Skate Plaza and Kajang 2 Lake Park fostering community bonds. Golf enthusiasts have the Saujana Impian Golf Course as a haven.

Located just 30 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur by car and easily accessible via MRT, Kajang boasts a wealth of hidden local treasures that cater to various culinary preferences.

Area Outlook

The population of Kajang has been consistently rising due to the availability of more affordable housing options on the outskirts compared to the city center. Several shopping complexes like Billion Shopping Center, Metro Point Complex, Union Square, and De Centrum Mall contribute to the town's amenities. The area is well-equipped with healthcare facilities, supermarkets, recreational parks, and a range of educational institutions, offering a balanced lifestyle away from urban hustle while providing ample entertainment options.

The property development history traces back to the 1980s when MKH Berhad initiated Taman Bukit Indah and Taman Bukit Mewah in 1981. Following this, the upscale Country Heights residential estate featuring uniquely designed bungalows and a golf and country club was introduced in 1992.

Well-connected to major highways like Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway (SILK), Kajang–Seremban Highway (Lekas), Southern Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), and Cheras–Kajang Expressway (CKE), Kajang's potential is increasingly acknowledged by developers, leading to continued growth.
