Setiawangsa is an eastern suburb in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, located less than 4 kilometres from the city centre. It is a much sought-after residential address in the Klang Valley. It was dubbed as the Cashmere Hills of KL, listing it as one of top wanted housing markets in Malaysia.
Puncak Setiawangsa and Bukit Setiawangsa is one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in Setiawangsa, positioned high up on the hills in the midst of a quiet surrounding, just minutes away from the hurly-burly of the city centre. This panoramic and easily accessible township is a much sought-after refuge for upper class Malaysians. Setiawangsa caters to the desires of Malaysians and expatriates of all walks of life.
The Setiawangsa landscape is improving and demand heating up. The housing facility availability in the area is another draw. The lists of A-grade tenants relocating here is growing, due possibly to the easier traffic flow (helped by the new Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway (DUKE)), competitive rentals and accessibility between KL, Petaling Jaya and other suburbs. Firms such as I & P, Right Balance Group, Fidin Universal, Tanjung and RB Helicopters all have their operational bases in Setiawangsa.
Setiawangsa's parliamentary constituency is currently led by Datuk Zulhasnan Rafique, who was the former Minister of the Federal Territories. He is one of the candicates from Barisan Nasional to win in the 2008 General Elections in Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory.
