Puchong South

 

Overview

Puchong South is generally referred to as the southern area of Puchong and around the Damanasara-Puchong Exrepssway (LDP) - Puchong South toll plaza. It covers residential areas such as Bandar Bukit Puchong, Taman Saujana and Bandar Putra Permai, and is about 30 minutes to the Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 25 minutes to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and 20 minutes to Petaling Jaya.

Accessibility and Transportation

This township started to rise in the late 1990’s after the development of the nation’s IT and administrative hubs in Cyberjaya and Putrajaya, about 20 minutes away. Puchong South is accessible by the newer highways, namely Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP), South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), Putrajaya-Cyberjaya Expressway, Maju Expressway (MEX) and North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE). The three major trunk roads – Jalan Puchong, Jalan Pulau Meranti and Jalan Putra Permai – also connect all major townships in the area. With the Puchong areas currently lacking public transport, the upcoming Ampang LRT extension (from Sri Petaling through Puchong ending at Putra Heights) and MRT 2 (from Sungai Buloh to Putrajaya through Serdang) will give the locale a boost.

The township is maturing nicely, with amenities such as AEON, Giant hypermarket, Selangor Wholesale Market, international schools - Alice Smith School in Taman Equine, and a host more in nearby townships, to name a few being Columbia Asia Hospital, Hospital Serdang, Putrajaya Hospital, Malaysia Multimedia University (MMU) and Lim Kok Wing University.
