    Shah Alam’s growing population has fuelled housing demand, which has grown by 38.5% after it gained city status in 2000. Unlike Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya cities which have grown organically, Shah Alam is a structured master-planned city.<\/p>\n

    With different sections developed such as sports, education, government administration center, and industrial developments; Shah Alam housing developments are generally low density in a pleasant green environment with recreational parks like the Shah Alam National Botanical Gardens.<\/p>\n

    It offers an environment that promotes work-life balance – where healthy living has become a catchphrase commonly used by property developers when positioning their developments in Shah Alam.<\/p>\n

    Shah Alam was once perceived as a Malay area due to large tracts of Malay reserve land here but it has become more multi-racial over the years. Coupled with new housing projects that target young homebuyers, commercial activities have grown and Shah Alam is becoming more vibrant and diverse.<\/p>\n
