Area Outlook
Kota Kemuning's property market has experienced remarkable growth since its inception, witnessing significant appreciation in property prices. Many residents took advantage of this upward trend by either selling their homes for upgrades or selling properties later at higher prices.
The township's popularity is further enhanced by the presence of prestigious golf and country clubs, such as Bukit Kemuning Golf and Country Club and Kota Permai Golf and Country Club, which have hosted various sports championships. The abundance of green spaces and fresh air encourages an active outdoor lifestyle, with residents of all ages often seen jogging along Kota Kemuning Hill Park and the lakeside of the 22-acre Wetland Park, which received landscape planning and urban redevelopment awards in 2003. The township's serene surroundings, complemented by numerous parks within walking distance of homes, attract a health-conscious and active population of all ages, making it an ideal place to settle down.
Accessibility is one of Kota Kemuning's strengths, as it is well-connected via major highways like KESAS and LKSA. However, residents may face traffic congestion on the KESAS highway during peak hours, which is a minor trade-off for living in a lavish location where all amenities are conveniently within reach.
Properties in Kota Kemuning are predominantly freehold, adding to the attractiveness of the area.
Until 1994, Kota Kemuning was under the municipal authority of Klang (MPK), but it was later transferred to the jurisdiction of Shah Alam City Council (MBSA).
