Taman Samudera is one of the older housing developments in Port Dickson in the state of Negeri Sembilan. Located metres close to the sandy white beaches, this housing area is a mere half an hour away from the city of Seremban and one hour away from the busy city centre of Kuala Lumpur. Properties here are all leasehold which further adds to its value of being a beach fronting housing area.The Taman Samudera which is otherwise also known as Taman Samudra, was clearly targeted towards the middle upper market as the houses here are all double storey terrace houses. The prices are also vastly different at approximately RM330,000 a unit, although those on auction can be found at prices as low as RM49,500. Each house has a fairly large built up of 2,160 sf with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.Being one of the oldest developments in Port Dickson, any houses for sale that come from Taman Samudera are pre-owned and are most likely to be sold partially furnished. Buyers can usually expect a fully fitted out kitchen with inbuilt cabinets, while light and fan fixtures are a given with an occasional upgraded safety grill built at the front door.Taman Samudera was not built with facilities in mind, and as such there are no playgrounds in the housing area. However, there are a few eateries within walking distance with the popular one being the Hassan Murtabak while closer to the main roads there is a Maju Jaya Carpet Store.There are a high number of schools in close distance of Taman Samudera such as the renowned SRJKC Chung Hwa, SM Chung Hwa Port Dickson and SM Teknik Port Dickson amongst the few. There are also many banks near the housing estate such as Ambank, BSN, Public Bank and Maybank, therefore banking needs are never an issue; and the closest hypermarket to home is the Giant hypermarket which is only 3.5 kilometres away.Taman Samudera is well connected to the city of Seremban and Kuala Lumpur via the main road Jalan Bakar Sampah which serves the neighbourhood. The aforementioned road connects to the Seremban - Port Dickson Highway and the North - South Expressway making travel to either Kuala Lumpur or Seremban highly convenient. Public transportation is virtually non-existent in this town, therefore it is highly advisable to own your own transport in order to live here.

Taman Samudera is a very nice, quiet and peaceful housing estate to stay in and within walking distance to the beaches of Port Dickson. Residents here live a very peaceful life with no traffic congestion to contend with on a daily basis. In fact, traffic is always clear, even during peak seasons where throngs of local tourists visit the sandy white beaches of Port Dickson.Taman Samudera has an exclusive community in the sense that all the neighbours know each other due to the small community. The residents also live in peace as in spite of the lack of security, crime rate is still rather low with no reports in the news for any crimes.Houses in Taman Samudera are hard to come by as not many residents are willing to let go of their homes. However, lucky investors who are able to purchase a unit will be able to rent it out as a holiday home to the many tourists and visitors. Homes here are also suitable as retirement homes; however those who come here looking for job opportunities would do better to look closer to the city as work opportunities are on the slim side in this small town.
