Living in Subang Jaya

by | Community, i-Stories, Rental Trend

Formerly a rubber estate, Subang Jaya has since undergone a significant transformation—facing developments in the hands of Sime UEP Properties. In terms of geography, Subang Jaya initially comprised of several areas which include SS12 to SS19, Taman Wangsa Baiduri, Taman Mutiara Subang and Taman Bukit Pelangi.

Then, in the late 1980s, Sime UEP Properties had developed an extension to Subang Jaya, which was how UEP Subang Jaya, or more commonly referred to as USJ, had come about (if you didn’t know what USJ stood for, now you do). Known for being a well-established neighbourhood filled with amities, Subang Jaya has become a popular area for people to visit, as well as live, due to how convenient it is.

Despite being a considerable distance away from the capital city, you wouldn’t have any trouble getting anywhere, as Subang Jaya houses impressive accessibility, being connected to Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya via a network of expressways and rail transit. There are also various malls and entertainment centres in Subang Jaya so you wouldn’t face any shortage for entertainment or necessities either. 

Read on to find out more details about what Subang Jaya has got to offer to have a feel of what living there would be like!

1. Shopping malls

If you have visited Subang Jaya before, the chances are that you have noticed a mall with an Egyptian-themed architecture with a massive pyramid and lion.

Having a bowling alley, indoor archery, cinema, arcade, as well as an ice-skating rink, you will never have an uneventful day out at Sunway Pyramid. 

On the other hand, if you wish to avoid the crowd and prefer a more quiet shopping experience, especially when you’re looking just to buy some groceries, there is the Empire Shopping Gallery. Located near Subang Parade (the first mall in Subang Jaya), Empire Shopping Gallery offers a selection of eateries and retail shops alongside a supermarket—Jaya Grocer.
