Analysis

Taman Cheras is an excellently located housing development that is much sought after by home buyers for its easy connectivity. Residents do however have to put up with severe traffic congestion on a daily basis, due to the many housing developments in the area. Peak hours usually see Jalan Cheras and the Middle Ring Road 2 severely congested, where motorists can expect to be stuck in traffic for hours on end.The majority of the tenants at Taman Cheras is of the Chinese population, as Cheras is a popular residential area for the said population. The town area is generally hectic and noisy, while the housing areas offer peace and quiet. There have however been many reports of break-ins and snatch thefts, especially in the housing areas, resulting in many residential bodies hiring their own security team for the neighbourhood.Taman Cheras is viewed by some to be an excellent investment, as besides sitting on freehold land, it is also only 20 minutes away from the Kuala Lumpur city centre; a rare commodity in the city nowadays. As such, its prices have been soaring in the recent years, and many who are looking to own a home in this area can expect to pay hefty prices for them.
