Sri Hartamas is one of Kuala Lumpur ’s newest residential neighbourhoods. Its name, which literally means Glowing Estates, is now a prime location because of its growing infrastructure with a country-like feel. Consisting mostly of houses, this neighbourhood is very well taken care of by its residents. The parks and other greeneries are beautifully manicured and the wide streets are kept clean. Such an environment is akin to that of country living. But alas, such beauty and lifestyle comes at a price and the real estate value at Sri Hartamas is considerably higher compared to the other suburbs. It is a magnet for expatriates and upper middle class young professionals who are seeking the status that comes with living in Sri Hartamas.
The city centre is a mere 15 minute drive away and Sri Hartamas has a geographical advantage compared to the many other districts in Kuala Lumpur . It has easy access to three of the major expressways that connect the city to its surrounding areas. The Sprint Expressway, The New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and The Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) are all easily accessible from Sri Hartamas. In addition, the Sprint Expressway enables travellers to access two smaller highways which is the Kerinchi Link and the Penchala Link. With the many options at hand, places such as Damansara Heights , Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Bandar Utama and many other districts are easily accessible by road.
Sri Hartamas also has a vibrant and colourful nightlife scene. Restaurants, shops and bars are strategically located at Desa Sri Hartamas, Plaza Damas and the Hartamas Shopping Centre to cater to the entire neighbourhood. Familiar names such as Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Mcdonald’s, Burger King and Guardian Pharmacy sit amidst the offerings that Sri Hartamas has to offer. Completed with fire and police stations, it offers high living with security.
For the physically active, there are choices of country clubs such as The Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club, the Royal Selangor Club and the Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club situated nearby. True Fitness Gym and Yoga Zone are also nearby to give fitness more variety. However, if you’re more into mental stimulation, then The National Science Centre, located near the entrance of Sri Hartamas, might just be the answer for you. Across the street from the green dome of the Science Centre is the Securities Commission, a building that is the epitome of modern but modest architecture.
Sri Hartamas provides a healthy balance for its residents and visitors. It is fully equipped with all the conveniences of modern technology such as wireless and broadband internet. It provides an array of activities spanning from shopping to food and sports to nightlife. With such a strategic location and its many facilities, it comes as no surprise that Sri Hartamas has grown to be the hot spot that it is today.
