Bangsar
Bangsar, also Bungsar (archaic), is an affluent residential suburb
on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, lying about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi)
south-west of the city centre. It is part of the Lembah Pantai
parliamentary constituency. Bangsar is administered by Dewan
Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) unlike other townships in the Klang
Valley such as Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya which have their own
municipal councils. Neighbourhood residents' associations and
business councils play a part in communicating with the local
authority but they exercise no legal or administrative power. Malays
make up the majority of the population at 61% followed by the
Chinese at 24%, Indians at 15%.
Bangsar has grown rapidly in recent years, but has paid a price in
terms of traffic jams and a shortage of parking places. Developments
in neighbouring Bukit Damansara and Mid Valley Megamall have caused
increased traffic to pass through Bangsar, especially along Jalan
Maarof.
New shops and attractions are sprouting up in Bangsar, but many do
not survive long, especially food and entertainment outlets. Other
long-standing outlets have been very successful, opening up a second
branch in Bangsar itself. Examples are Alexis and La Bodega, Coffee
Bean, and McDonald's which can be found on Jalan Telawi and also
Bangsar Shopping Centre.
Being a mature part of Kuala Lumpur, new property launches are few
in Bangsar. Serai, a two 21-storey residential towers development by
Bandar Raya Developments Berhad is one of the few new properties in
Bangsar in the recent years.
Bangsar is four kilometres from the Kuala Lumpur city centre. It is
also connected to the city of Petaling Jaya via the Federal Highway
or the Sprint Highway. The New Pantai Expressway begins at Jalan
Bangsar and passes through Jalan Pantai Baharu, Pantai Dalam, Jalan
Kuchai Lama, Jalan Klang Lama, Bandar Sunway and terminates at
Subang Jaya. The Sprint Expressway, at the northern end of Jalan
Maarof connects to Bukit Damansara, Jalan Duta, Sri Hartamas, the
New Klang Valley Expressway, the Damansara-Puchong Expressway and
several suburbs in Petaling Jaya.
The Bangsar LRT station on Rapid KL's Kelana Jaya Line is located on
Jalan Bangsar. Abdullah Hukum, Kerinchi and Universiti LRT stations
are also located nearby. Bangsar is a five minute drive from KL
Sentral, a major transportation hub in neighbouring Brickfields.
