Taman Semenyih Mewah is a well located residential area in Semenyih, especially for residents who work in the area. It is however a heavily populated area, and traffic usually tends to get extremely heavy during peak hours. Traffic is especially bad in the main trunk roads of Jalan Bangi Lama and Jalan Semenyih, of which both are roads that are necessary in getting into Taman Semenyih Mewah.Being located in Semenyih, Taman Semenyih Mewah has the sad but unfortunate stigma that associates residents to the low income earners group. As such, many developers whose new developments lie in Semenyih, try to insist that their properties are actually located in the borders of Kajang instead. Development is however swift and heavy in Semenyih, which is a good sign in turning it into a more affluential town.Property in Taman Semenyih Mewah has appeared to be an excellent investment in the recent years as prices have been increasing swiftly as development from the city centre spilled over to the outskirts. Prices might however drop soon in the property market slowdown, which will give those who are looking for a new home excellent opportunity to get one at an affordable price.
