Setapak Jaya

Setapak Jaya is located to the southeast of Desa Setapak, about two kilometres to be exact. This is also one of the earliest settlements between Hot Springs and Wangsa Maju.

Setapak Jaya comprises mostly three storey low-cost houses built in the 80s and the more expensive double storeys built much later. There is a row of City Hall low-cost flats, too.

There are several rows of shops operating various types of businesses, some restaurants and of course hawkerstalls.

There is a morning market under a stretch of trees which operate from morning till noon and on Saturdays, there is a night market operating from 6pm to 10pm, by the lake. This road is usually inaccessible till 11pm.

Many of the houses still retain their old architecture but many have also been renovated and transformed into mini-bungalows amidst the low-cost settings, sometimes quite ridiculously mansion-like but who cares, if you can flaunt it, why not!
