KL East: Premium Living Amidst Nature with the Best Connectivity
The 159-acre Urban Reserve Masterplan has perfected the art of seamlessly blending forest tranquillity with urban convenience.
The importance of living in greener environments has long been touted for its numerous benefits, including improved mental and physical health, enhanced well-being, and increased longevity.
A new study found that access to green spaces makes people 2.5 years biologically younger on average. It was also discovered that homes with 30% green cover within a 5km radius had residents who were 2.5 years younger biologically compared to homes with 20% green cover. While the difference may not seem vast, it’s not hard to calculate the significance it will have on the human health and well-being long-term.
Fortunately, Sime Darby Properties has perfected crafting homes in nature to almost an art form, particularly the 159-acre urban reserve masterplan, KL East. You can now live by the forest within city limits with a 200-million-year-old natural wonder as your backdrop and well-thought-out amenities within walking distance.
