Commercial amenities like convenience stores, shops, restaurants,
school, clinics, banks and malls like Wangsa Maju Walk Mall, Aeon Big
and Aeon Alpha Angle Shopping Centre make life in this neighbourhood a
breeze.
Medical centres like Columbia Asia in Setapak and Gleneagles Intan
Medical Centre Kuala Lumpur are located nearby. Education Institutions
like Fairview International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL), Sri Utama
International School, SMK Taman Setiawangsa and SK Wangsa Maju Zon R10
also add value to the place.
Proximity to convenient public transportation is key – made
accessible by both the Wangsa Maju and Sri Rampai LRT stations. This
makes Wangsa Maju attractive to first-time home buyers.
Over the past few years, Wangsa Maju has moved up the scale. Now,
prominent developers including IJM Land Bhd – with it successful lanuch
of Seri Riana Residence are taking interest in the potential of the
area, even as the population here continues to grow.
As the demand for housing grows here, there are several upcoming developments in the pipeline for 2014 by reputable developers.
“Wangsa Maju was known as a middle to lower-middle class
neighborhood. However, the advent of new high-end, modern develoments
and the quantum leap in accessibility, with the completion of the DUKE
Highway has transformed its landscape, and it attracting upper middle
class families here.
“There is definitely a lot of upside potential as prices are still
more affordable compared to Bangsar, Petaling Jaya and Taman Tun Dr
Ismail,” observed Henry Butcher director Lim Eng Chong.
