Location, Area Description and Demographic
Sri Hartamas has a geographical advantage; located very close to the entrance of two major expressways that link the city with the surrounding suburbs. See New Klang Valley Expressway and Damansara-Puchong Expressway. The travel time to anywhere in the Klang Valley area, as a result is surprisingly short, even during rush hour. The New Klang Valley Expressway, or the NKVE (the official name as stated on the website of PLUS Expressways Berhad, the highway concessionaire) refers to a stretch of the North-South Expressway in Peninsular Malaysia which starts from Bukit Raja near Klang town, and ends at Jalan Duta in Kuala...

Sri Hartamas's most prized feature is the greenery and isolation. It is surrounded by a hill range that dots the Klang Valley, giving the area an isolated country feel, despite being only 15 minutes away from the center of Kuala Lumpur. The country feel, coupled with the easy transportation access via car, has made it a magnet for the up and coming, young professional, Malaysian upper middle classes. The neighborhood has a manicured esthetic, with a park like feel, something the area residents guard.

Residents of the neighborhood participate in the resident's association. In years past, the association has a hired a private security firm to patrol the area. The isolation of Sri Hartamas and the surrounding area made it prey to crime for a while, though this is not prevalent today.
The homes in Sri Hartamas consists of townhouses, adjoining semi detached homes and small town bungalows. Built by a Malaysian developer in the 80s, the streets are strangely wide, compared to other areas. The wide streets turned out to a boon for multi car households that live in the area with limited garage space when the neighborhood went through a renaissance period.

1990s Renaissance Sri Hartamas gained considerable popularity as a desired neighborhood during the Asian boom of the mid 1990s. Prior to that the belief by Malaysians was that the neighborhood was too isolated, with little to no infrastructure in the area. With no grocer in the neighborhood at the time, one had to drive for 15 minutes, to another neighborhood to buy a pint of milk! . As the demand for quality housing in Kuala Lumpur increased, this soon became irrelevant.

Indeed, the easy transportation access being close to the expressways, proved to be Sri Hartamas's savior. Other developments in the area followed. Down the street, a huge condominium project "Mont Kiara" soon took off.
Mont Kiara as well as Sri Hartamas became very popular, not only with the Malaysian young professionals, but with the expatriate families, who hail mostly from Australia, Japan, Britain and Europe at this time. Mont Kiara, is a northern suburb of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. ...

The extra security and the 2 international private schools in Sri Hartamas that opened at this time made the area a boon for expatriate families. Sri Hartamas for a while, circa 1996-1999 became an international neighborhood, with residents originating from different countries.

Sri Hartamas Today The isolation and greenery of Sri Hartamas, with easy access to anywhere; the trademark of the area, gave away some of it’s luster when access to a 3rd expressway that links the area with the rest of Kuala Lumpur opened.

Changes post-1990s boom Another development followed, this time bringing some of the infrastructure that Sri Hartamas initially lacked: restaurants, shops, bars and as well as an outdoor Malaysian style food bazaar. Much of the shops and pricing cater to the relatively affluent and expatriate demographic of the area.
Upscale Amenities and Conveniences For Malaysia, the area conveniences reflect the demographic, a sharp contrast to other areas of Kuala Lumpur: A nursery in Sri Hartamas, aside from childcare, offers introductory classes in French. There is also strangely, a disproportionate number of Japanese and Korean restaurants in Sri Hartamas, catering to the large number of Japanese now living in nearby Mont Kiara.
Amenities nearby include: 2 golf courses, a country club, a very "posh" health club and spa, several American chain stores and other conveniences, such as being within the 30 minute delivery area of both Pizza Hut and Dominos. This article or section reads like an advertisement. ...

Infrastructure Infrastructure here is excellent, with developed country utility services and operating standards (i.e Wired telephone, electricity & broadband internet) and services (i.e trash collection). Prior to 1995, due to the terrain of the area, mobile phone coverage here on certain operators in Sri Hartamas was spotty at best. Today, all mobile phone carriers have base stations throughout the neighborhood, with excellent coverage. Look up Telephone in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Changing Area Though some of the greenery and isolation remain, Sri Hartamas is not as quiet as it used to be. The traffic influx as well as other new developments nearby has brought an increasing number of people to the area. Through some of its isolation is gone, the young Malaysian professionals that initially moved into the area stayed on.
However, the expatriate community that once lived here in large numbers dwindled after the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-1999, when people moved back to their home countries. The area continues to be popular with expatriate families, particularly those with children. The Asian financial crisis was a financial crisis that started in July 1997 in Thailand and affected currencies, stock markets, and other asset prices in several Asian countries, many considered East Asian Tigers. ...
Though no reliable census exists, there is a healthy balance in the number of residents from the different Malaysian ethnic groups in Sri Hartamas, with no obvious majority group, unlike other parts of Malaysia.
