重点报道：Seri Kembangan 琢磨蜕变中
位于吉隆坡以南的Seri Kembangan，距离赛城约15公里。该处拥有许多大家熟悉的地标性建筑，例如跑马场、金马皇宫酒店、The Mines购物中心以及博特拉大学（UPM）。 这个以往被称作沙登新村的地方，后来改名为Seri Kembangan，因着地理优势以及人口不断增长，已经逐渐蜕变成为年轻购屋者的的置产选择地点之一。 Propedia Consultancy 创办人Vicky How表示，地理优势是让Seri Kembangan从新村蜕变成市区的主因，这里毗邻各个人口与基础设施发展完善的住宅区，包括Sri Petaling、Bukit Jalil、Puchong、Bandar Kinrara、Cyberjaya以及Putrajaya。 她说：“早年赛城和布城在发展初期，并没有太多的房屋选择，最靠近这个地区的Seri Kembangan因此成为首选，因该处距离最靠近、基础与便捷设施易得以及租金相对较低。” 赛城在90年代被誉为大马矽谷，吸引上百间科技资讯公司进驻，距离该处15公里之遥的Seri Kembangan也因此受益，商业活动与工作机会大增。 How表示，精明隧道的启用，缩短了Seri Kembangan通往吉隆坡市中心的路程，也带动了人们对于Taman Serdang Jaya以及Serdang Jaya房产的购兴。 她说：”Seri Kembangan面积颇大，从最南到最北在无交通状况下需要驾驶约40分钟，因历史因素，这里的房地产种类多元，有数百万起跳的豪华洋房，也有售价低廉的木屋。” 综观过去数年的房屋交易数据，Seri Kembangan房价稳步走扬，特别是靠近高速公路的房产，价格增幅尤为显著。 根据EdgeProp.
