Analysis
The township environment of Emerald East is very serene and tranquil - as claimed by many residents and passer-by's. It is well furnished with lined trees and landscaped vegetations. No wonder Emerald is dubbed to become the prominent residential enclave of Rawang.Even though it is a secured area, there have been several break-ins occurred in the area at the moment of writing (April 2011). The residents claimed that the guards at the guard house are lazy and will open the gate barrier to almost anybody who wants to get in. Hence, if you are moving into Emerald East, perhaps you should fork some money for the alarm system. However, by July 2014, no similar claims have been reported as of late.
