Bukit Kiara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bukit Kiara is an affluent suburb of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The area is in proximity to other exclusive suburbs such as Bukit Damansara, Mont Kiara, Sri Hartamas and Bangsar.

Bukit Kiara has often been described the 'green lung' of Kuala Lumpur, boasting many jungle trails through its characteristic hills and is a favourite amongst the health and nature conscious locals. Despite rapid housing and commercial development in the area, the area is still known as an enigmatic and exclusive area of Kuala Lumpur. Lately, Bukit Kiara is experiencing a rise in housing demand as the area becoming increasingly important; the Malaysian Securities Commission headquarters and the National Science Centre are located here.

Bukit Kiara is well equipped for recreational purposes as the area is home to Bukit Kiara Equestrian & Country Resort, Selangor Club, Sime Darby Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club and Bukit Kiara Sports Complex. Private facilities for members include a swimming pool, spa, gym, indoor and outdoor tennis, basketball, and badminton courts, a bowling alley, horse riding and polo facilities, restaurants, golf, fishing and billiard rooms.
