Taman Shanghai

Taman Shanghai (also known as Shanghai Garden) is a matured estate just off Old Klang Road. Some of the freehold detached properties even sport frontage to the well known Old Klang Road. Built in the late 1960s, Taman Shanghai is also surrounded by larger neighborhoods like Taman Desa and Petaling Lama. While the other neighborhoods boast of more privacy being further up-hill and surrounded by greenery, Taman Shanghai provides its residents with fast and easier access to amenities. Some of the Taman Shanghai detached properties along the Old Klang Road have even been converted for commercial use; for example, used-car dealers and an old folks' homes are amongst those that have found its location prime and accessible to the public. The majority of Taman Shanghai is made up of detached properties (bungalows) except for a few roads of terrace houses, walk-up apartments and condominium units (Gemilang Indah Condos) available for rent or for sale. All the major banks and businesses are within 5-10 minutes drive of Taman Shanghai. Eateries, educational institutions, and even the Pearl Point Hotel is but a stone’s throw away. Mid Valley Megamall is also less than 10 minutes away, while the KL city center, another 10 minutes. Commuters enjoy using the Old Klang Road as it links up with so many major highways like Federal Highway, NPE, Seremban Highway, MAJU expressway which can take you to Bukit Jalil, Puchong, Sunway and all the way to Ipoh. Needless to say, there is a high traffic flow surrounding the area of Taman Shanghai.

Analysis

There are many things that are appealing about Taman Shanghai. Residents in the area have lived most their lives here. Many grew up in the neighborhood, moving out only for furthering their education or work relocation reasons. A matured housing area is still endearing to many, as it attracts established and stable-income earners. Residents will tell you that they enjoy the peace and quiet of the hilly area. But the old will soon make way for new even as residential bungalows are being converted for commercial use and increased traffic brings with it noise and pollution. Taman Shanghai is an affordable freehold residential locality for middle to upper income earners. The stability of the area with established businesses and amenities are attractive and the accessibility to the city center and surrounding townships a big draw.
