Putra Heights, Subang Jaya

Putra Heights is a master-planned township in Subang Jaya, Selangor, situated near the boundaries of Shah Alam and Puchong. Developed as a modern residential community during the 1990s by Sime UEP Berhad (now part of Sime Darby Property), the township is recognised for its well-planned neighbourhoods, landscaped environment and strategic location within the Klang Valley. Putra Heights has grown into one of Subang Jaya's principal residential townships, supported by comprehensive amenities, excellent road connectivity and the important Putra Heights LRT Station, which serves as the interchange between the Kelana Jaya Line and the Sri Petaling Line.1

Quick Facts

Location and Setting

Putra Heights occupies the southwestern part of Subang Jaya and enjoys a strategic location near the meeting point of Subang Jaya, Shah Alam and Puchong. Approximately 27 kilometres southwest of Dataran Merdeka, the township provides convenient access to major employment centres throughout the Klang Valley while maintaining the character of a predominantly residential community. Its location has contributed significantly to its popularity among commuters working in Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur.2

The township is characterised by broad tree-lined roads, landscaped residential precincts, neighbourhood parks and modern community facilities. Unlike older suburban neighbourhoods that developed incrementally, Putra Heights was planned as an integrated township with residential, educational, recreational and commercial components designed to support a growing population.2

History and Development

Development of Putra Heights began during the 1990s as part of the rapid expansion of Subang Jaya towards the southwest. Sime UEP Berhad envisioned the township as a modern suburban community offering high-quality housing within a landscaped environment. Over subsequent decades, additional residential precincts, community facilities and commercial developments were introduced, transforming Putra Heights into one of the municipality's most established townships.3

The opening of Putra Heights LRT Station in 2016 marked a major milestone in the township's development. As the interchange between the Kelana Jaya Line and the Sri Petaling Line, the station significantly improved public transportation and strengthened Putra Heights' role as an important transportation hub within the Klang Valley.3

Residential Character

Putra Heights comprises a wide variety of residential developments, including terrace houses, semi-detached homes, detached bungalows, apartments and condominiums. Many residential precincts incorporate landscaped streets, neighbourhood parks and security features that contribute to an attractive living environment. The township appeals to families seeking spacious housing as well as professionals attracted by its accessibility and comprehensive amenities.4

Green spaces are integrated throughout the township, while community facilities such as playgrounds, sports courts and places of worship support an active neighbourhood lifestyle. The township's carefully planned layout has enabled it to maintain a balanced relationship between residential development and open spaces.4

Education, Healthcare and Community Facilities

Putra Heights is served by a range of educational institutions, including government primary and secondary schools, private schools, kindergartens and childcare centres. Additional educational opportunities are available in nearby USJ, Subang Jaya and Puchong, where several colleges and higher education institutions are located. This accessibility has made the township especially attractive to families with school-age children.5

Healthcare services are readily available through nearby hospitals such as Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC), Sunway Medical Centre, Columbia Asia Hospital Puchong and numerous private clinics located within Putra Heights and surrounding neighbourhoods. Residents therefore have convenient access to both primary healthcare and specialist medical services.5

Shopping and Lifestyle

Although Putra Heights remains primarily residential, it contains neighbourhood commercial centres offering supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, cafés, banks, pharmacies and other everyday services. Larger retail and entertainment destinations are located within a short drive, including Main Place Mall, Subang Parade, Empire Shopping Gallery, Sunway Pyramid and IOI Mall Puchong. These complement the township's local amenities by providing extensive shopping, dining and leisure opportunities.6

The township also features parks, jogging tracks and recreational facilities that encourage outdoor activities. Community events organised by resident associations and local organisations contribute to a strong neighbourhood spirit and reinforce Putra Heights' reputation as a family-oriented township.6

Transportation

Putra Heights enjoys excellent regional connectivity through several major expressways. These include the North–South Expressway Central Link (ELITE), Damansara–Puchong Expressway (LDP), New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE) and the nearby South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE). Together, these highways provide convenient access to Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, Klang, Cyberjaya, Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).7

Putra Heights LRT Station is one of the township's defining landmarks. Serving as the southern interchange between the Kelana Jaya Line and the Sri Petaling Line, the station enables passengers to travel directly to destinations including Subang Jaya, Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Kuala Lumpur city centre, Ampang, Sri Petaling and Gombak. Rapid KL bus services further strengthen public transportation by linking the station with surrounding residential areas and commercial centres.7
