1. KAJANG/SEMENYIH

The southern Klang Valley is getting quite popular nowadays, especially the Kajang/Semenyih area due to the MRT Line currently in construction, which helps in terms accessibility towards Kajang, according to Herbert Leong. To date, media reports indicate that more than 40% of the MRT construction has been completed.

Kajang/Semenyih connectivity is also enhanced by highways such as Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway (SILK), Kajang-Seremban Highway (LEKAS) and Sungai Besi Expressway (SBE).

Another reason behind Kajang being popular is its availability of landed houses, the most sought after type of residential properties. Kajang is also boosted by its short distance to Cyberjaya.

“Because of the close proximity, people are going into the south since the house price is still lower. It goes without saying that when the price around Cyberjaya increases, people choose to live nearby, if not inside,” Stanley Toh adds.

2. CYBERJAYA

“Cyberjaya basically have the infrastructure ready. It has good connectivity and is nearby a major town,” Toh explains. It is connected to Putrajaya and Shah Alam by major highways such as Damansara- Puchong Expressway (DPE) and South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE). “Also, MRT 2 Line will have its station in Cyberjaya,” he adds. As for completed station, Cyberjaya and Putrajaya shares an Express Rail Link (ERL) provided by KLIA Express. Another factor that attracts investors is the completion of retail outlets in Cyberjaya such as Shaftbury Square. Currently also under construction is the 101 City Mall. Toh believes that with the completion of 101 City Mall and its opening in 2015, although not directly located in Cyberjaya, will help attract even more population into the area. Cyberjaya is also nearby Puchong, so whoever is late to enter the market in Puchong will eventually venture to Cyberjaya as a place to live.

from the article below, Cyberjaya is covered. That means the station is at Lim Kok Weng and future cyberjaya city centre. Is Garden Residence Cyberjaya a good and convenience residential area to stay in the future?? Garden Residence is 3 minutes away from Lim Kok Weng. what is your opinion?

About the MRT Project
The MRT is a new urban rail system for the Klang Valley.
The first MRT Line, the 51km Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line will comprise of 31 stations, and serve 1.2 million people along the route.
The MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line, the second MRT line to be built, was approved by the Government in February 2014. The proposed alignment is expected to go for public display in the first quarter of 2015 and the final alignment is targeted for approval in August 2015.
The Klang Valley MRT will integrate with the Klang Valley’s existing rail transport network, namely the LRT, Monorail and KTM Komuter, as well as intra and inter-city bus routes. The end result will be better connectivity for Kuala Lumpur and its surrounding cities, while reducing the number of cars that enter the capital.
