Hi. I'm one of the locals that reside here.


What would you like to know?

Pros :

Really nice and green neigborhood (you can see ppl jogging / cycling at any hours of the day ,even at 11pm , so its relatively safe if you ask me)
lots of hipster/ kopitiam / fresh vibes with youngsters.
easy access to nature - kemensah, genting highland, also to KL

cons:
more and more condo's are being built, enroaching the back bukit tabur. expect traffic to be much worse after they VP .

In some parts, especially town centre (melawati mall area) , Traffic is really bad especially during peak hours . Why ?

- Small roads (melawati is old township, I've been living here since the 90's)
- Pasar malam every tuesday / thursday / saturday
- lots of school, and ppl picking up their kids

i found that everytime i go at these times, (like 5pm) , i just take moto , forget about car.

also saturday is also jam ya, morning coz of pasar tani.

If you ask me if I recommend ?

Yes , definitely if you have the budget . I believe its a bit better than wangsa maju and setiawangsa. Setiawangsa also not bad, but price will be on a higher side. Plus you don't get the greenery as good as melawati.

can't think of any other place I would reside in KV as of now .

u cycling at night ?

now they are doing pipeworks, not so nice to cycle anymore . have to wait until project finish. but still nice place to jog , though

yes, from melawati, its either use MEX or sungai besi highway . (exit near ampang there) . Bottleneck at MRR2 usually at flamingo hotel at peak hours.

for public, nearest LRT is wangsa maju or sri rampai. but no last mile transport, either have to park somewhere or take bus . (actually lot of bus here, got rapidKL bus depot somewhere near the melawati bukit mas roundabout , not sure of the timings though)

nice, enjoy your stay

anything u wanted to know just hit me up

yeah . lots of running club around here. most i found is around the bukit mas roundabout . (near Ordinery coffee shop) and the street burger . around this area is quite alive at night .

lots of dog owners bringing their dog here too.. just yesterday saw 3 -4 ppl walking their dog lol

around here M40/T20 malay won't care what u do walk dog or walk cat as long u not do anything shady

what u want to eat?

nasi ayam hainan singapore , legend one is at the medan selera near the traffic light.

another mee goreng mamak stall at hameed in medan selera near melawati mall (in front of this medan selera also many classic chinese kopitiams./ chapfans)

the legendary cendol/rojak is the said rojak nearby melawati school

if want pizza can go lapane (honestly best pizza i've eaten), its near bulatan bukit mas. (higher end stuff)

Best thing is u can choose low end or high end dining stuff, all are here.
