As such, the homes in this area are generally sold partially furnished, with many coming with built-in kitchen cabinets as well as various odd bits of furniture. Many of the homes have also been renovated upon numerous times over the years.Jinjang Utara is primarily a very old housing development with no facilities offered.

Analysis

Jinjang Utara is a very conveniently located housing development with many access roads via many highways and many trunk roads. However, depending on which route residents use to get home, they may get stuck in extremely heavy traffic congestion during peak hours. Usually the worst affected routes are from Jalan Ipoh, while the smoothest routes are via the Duta - Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE).Jinjang Utara is a very old housing development that used to be called "no-man's land" due to the massive and aggressive gangsterism that used to go on here. The majority of the population here are Chinese due to the British allocating the area to the Chinese population in history. The gangsterism issue has long since dissipated in history, although the majority of the population still consists of Chinese.Although it is very centrally located, Jinjang Utara does not hold much appeal in terms of investment; firstly because of its leasehold title, and secondly because the area still looks quite backwater. However, those who are looking for a permanent residence close to civilisation will find that the neighbourhood carries its own kind of charm, and that the houses here are fairly affordable.
