It is accessible via Setia Alam Highway from the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) since the interchange was opened on 14 July 2006. Setia Alam is also accessible from the Federal Highway and Klang via Jalan Meru. This township is developed by S P Setia Berhad.

Setia Alam is an integrated development spanning over of land. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) which had placed restrictions on the establishment of entertainment outlets such as pubs, discos and lottery business.

Setia Alam is represented in the Parliament by the Member of Parliament for Shah Alam, Khalid bin Abd Samad and State Assemblyman for Kota Anggerik, Mohd Najwan Halimi.

History

This RM 20 billion township was launched in 2004 by SP Setia Berhad. It was formerly known as North Hummock Estate, which was owned by the family-controlled See Hoy Chan Group. However, instead of developing the land themselves, the group sold the land to SP Setia.

The project consists of a few major developments marketed as Setia Alam (a 2,525-acre integrated township with mixed residential and commercial development), Setia Eco Park (791 acres of fully gated and guarded luxury semi-dee and bungalow development and is Malaysia's first eco township), Setia City (a 240-acre integrated green city centre development), Alam Nusantara by PKNS and Anjung Sari by Sazean Group. Both Alam Nusantara's and Anjung Sari's lands (totaling 614.26 acres) were sold by SP Setia to PKNS as parts of SP Setia's strategies to develop the Setia Alam development.
SP Setia's Setia Alam and Setia Eco Park townships have won a number of awards locally and internationally, including the World's Best Master Plan Development for Setia Eco Park in FIABCI International Prix d'Excellence Award 2007 held in Barcelona, Spain. In 2013, Setia Alam won the World's Best Master Plan Development in FIABCI, held in Taichung, Taiwan.

Today, both Setia Alam and Setia Eco Park are some of the most sought after residential townships in the Klang Valley.

Known issues

Despite its award-winning developer and concepts, Setia Alam is also known to suffer from soil settlement. Houses in older phases are reported to be affected by the soil settlement. Walls were cracked and leaning by more than 15 degrees. The developer took responsibility by re-building the walls out of goodwill.

Location and accessibility

Setia Alam is located on the western flank of Shah Alam, just adjacent to its boundary with Klang. It is served by a spur route of the NKVE . Selangor State Route links Setia Alam to Puncak Alam and ultimately Kuala Selangor due north and downtown Klang due south.

The closest rail station is the KTM Klang, about 7.6 km south. RapidKL bus route 753 connects Setia Alam to the Section 14 bus hub in downtown Shah Alam.

Traffic crawls along the NKVE-Setia Alam Link during rush hour have become rampant in recent years as more residents moved into the township especially with the completion of apartments at Setia Alam North and spillover from neighbouring townships, such as Bandar Bukit Raja, Aman Perdana and Meru.

On 18 April 2018, Eco World's township Eco Ardence which adjacent Setia Alam, has opened a link road from Eco Ardence (North) to Setia Damai 15/16. This new road can be accessed from NKVE Setia Alam Toll.
