Shah Alam area guide

About Shah Alam

Shah Alam was built on the Sungai Renggam rubber and oil palm estate. The state chose the site in 1973 and the town opened in 1974 as the new seat of the Selangor government, after Kuala Lumpur became a Federal Territory. It was proclaimed the state capital on 7 December 1978 and became a city on 10 October 2000. The city council is MBSA.

The city grew in steps: Sections 25 to 28 were added in 1983, Setia Alam, Bukit Jelutong and Kota Kemuning in 1994, and parts of Sungai Buloh in 1997. Sections 1 to 24 form the centre with the state buildings. North Shah Alam has the U sections, including U1, U2 and Kampung Melayu Subang, and south Shah Alam has Kota Kemuning and Bukit Rimau.

Household income

Central Shah Alam (Sections 1 to 24), Bukit Jelutong, Bukit Subang and Setia Alam are in the Shah Alam seat (P.108). Its median household earned RM 10,831 a month in 2024 (DOSM), up from RM 10,520 in 2022, against RM 10,688 for Petaling district. About 461,900 people lived in the seat in 2024.

Not all of the city is in that seat. Kota Kemuning, Bukit Rimau and Sections 26 to 28 vote in Kota Raja (P.111), where the 2024 median was RM 8,948. Glenmarie and Taman TTDI Jaya are in the Petaling Jaya seat, and the northern U sections around Subang Perdana are in Sungai Buloh. These are whole-seat figures, not Shah Alam's own.

House prices per square foot

In NAPIC sales in the 31 Shah Alam buildings we matched, a condominium or apartment sold for a median of RM 376 psf in 2024 (65 sales) and RM 399 psf in 2025, or RM 394,000 per unit. That is a little below the figure for all high-rise sales in Petaling district (RM 406 psf in 2025).

Low-cost flats in our matched buildings sold for a median of RM 170,000 in 2024. Many Shah Alam homes are landed houses, which are not in this table; see the Petaling district page for terrace prices.

Median sold price	2024	2025	Jan–Jun 2026
Condominium / apartment	RM 376 psf · RM 350,000 (65 sales)	RM 399 psf · RM 394,000 (38 sales)	RM 333 psf · RM 280,000 (16 sales)
Flat	Too few sales (5)	Too few sales (2)	No sales recorded
Low-cost flat	RM 275 psf · RM 170,000 (27 sales)	Too few sales (5)	No sales recorded

NAPIC gives the district but not the town, so these are the sales in the 31 buildings of this area that we matched by name in NAPIC Open Sales Data (JPPH). New projects selling their first units can pull a year up. psf = price ÷ floor area of the unit. Under 10 sales shows "Too few sales". Recent months are not complete yet.
