Taman Hillview is a township in the Klang Valley. It is located in Ulu Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. The township lies in a landslide-prone area. It is located next the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2.
This township was once home to many Western expatriates circa 1970s. It is located roughly halfway between Ampang and Melawati. Taman Sri Ukay is a residential area located immediately adjacent to Taman Hillview.
Due to its proximity to the nearest hills, a collection of houses and apartments were built here. Many major landslides occurred due to the soil erosion that occurs after heavy rain.
