Putra Heights is a residential township in Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. It is located in the Mukim (sub-district) of Damansara. The township could be easily located by the tall and famous Bukit Cermin hill in Putra Heights.

Background and progress

Putra Heights is a township filled with bustling activities that signifies the makings of a successful prime residential and commercial development.

There is a hill located in the heart of Putra Heights, namely Bukit Cermin which has earned its reputation as one of the most famous cycling hills in the Klang Valley.

The thriving commercial hub in this township is Putra Point – a commercial development that will serve the needs of not only the residents of Putra Heights but also of the neighboring cities, towns and townships such as Subang Jaya, UEP Subang Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Puchong and Shah Alam. Besides Putra Point, there is a Giant Hypermarket located around the area for the conveniences of residents.

The success of Putra Heights is apparent with properties in the township enjoying good capital appreciation in the secondary market. Coupled with other positive elements such as its strategic location, easy accessibility, superb architectural design, and attractive landscaping, Putra Heights has undoubtedly elevated its status as one of the most sought-after addresses in the Klang Valley today.

Premier Precincts

There are many precincts in Putra Heights, but some of them are more premier. These neighbourhoods are positioned in the midst of a quiet surrounding, just minutes away from the hurly-burly of the city centre and is a much sought after refuge for middle- to upper-middle-class Malaysians. These precincts are Putra Palms, Putra Crest, The Glades and Kingsley Hills.

Putra Crest is a precinct which consists of only bungalow lots. The land area is as large as 8,000 sqf to 24,000 sqf. It is located on a hill where the view of Kuala Lumpur could be easily seen.

Putra Palms is a precinct which consists of both link and villa houses. They are divided into different sections, namely Royale Palms, Royale Palms II, Grandis Palms and Mascarena Palms.

Education

In the township, education is quite limited so most of the residents send their children to schools in UEP Subang Jaya. However, there is an international education group, Kingsley International Group in Putra Point Commercial Center to provide international school studies or IGCSE O Levels for students.

Accessibility

The township is currently accessible via expressways and roads, and will be connected by the 2 proposed LRT extensions (Ampang Line and Kelana Jaya Line) scheduled to be completed in 2014.

The expressway that passes directly through the township is North-South Expressway Central Link (ELITE). The interchange at ELITE was opened to traffic on 19 February 2009, as the main route to Putra Heights. Other major expressways which connects through the ELITE expressway are the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) and Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS).

The 2 proposed LRT extension lines are the Kelana Jaya LRT extension line and the Ampang LRT extension line. The Kelana Jaya Line will be extended from the existing route from the Subang LRT Depot, running through the Dana 1 commercial centre in Kelana Jaya, to Kelana Centre Point, then to Subang Parade (interfaced with KTM Subang Jaya Komuter station), to Subang Jaya (3 stations), then to The Summit Shopping Mall at USJ 1, to USJ 9 near the Al Falakh Mosque and the USJ headquarter police station (USJ 8), then will be connected to USJ 19. The main station hub is located at Putra Heights, which will eventually connect with the Ampang Line to Sri Petaling. The construction of the project is due to be started in the mid-year of 2011 and is expected to be completed in 2014.
