Taman Sri Andalas, Klang Insights

**##Overview##**Located nearby South of Klang city, Taman Sri Andalas is one of Klangs largest residential townships, which was first developed around 1982. It is also close to Port Klang and is surrounded by Taman Bayu Perdana and Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (Klang GH) in the West, Taman Klang Jaya in the South, Taman Sri Istana in the North, while a host of other housing estates occupy its Western border. It is a multi-racial middleclass neighbourhood with Malays being the predominant race here. Quiet and peaceful in its residential sections, its main commercial centre along Persiaran Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (PTAR) or Jalan Langat is quite the opposite being bustling with business activity.The properties here are a mix of leasehold and freehold lands where there are single and double storey terrace houses, semi-detached and bungalow homes, and shop lots built in various phases over the years. There is much greenery with trees, palms, and bushes lining roads along the main and minor roads, the parks, lush green lung hills, and playing fields. The enclave is self-contained with good facilities and amenities that support the needs of its inhabitants. There are still clumps of natural green forests at various patches throughout this area which are yet to be developed or utilize. At the top of the hills of Taman Rakyat that occupies a large chunk of TSA, is a communications tower with water reservoirs that supply water with pressure head to the surrounding areas below. Although TSA is quite ideal for living and raising families, however, in recent years, the crime rate seems to have gone up noticeably with a spate of break-ins, robberies, snatch thefts and more recently, gangster-ism among school students here.**##Amenities & Facilities##**Taman Rakyat is an 81 acres attraction to thousands of people seeking recreation and physical exercise especially with its natural lush green environment and permanently anchored exercise equipment it has placed along its jogging tracks and trails.
