What SS2 is like
SS2 was developed in the 1970s and is a mature Petaling Jaya neighbourhood made up mainly of double-storey terrace houses, with some detached houses on larger plots. It is mostly owner-occupied by families, and its tenants are often young couples and students from nearby universities.
Its commercial hub is known for food: long-running eateries, a daily morning market, night markets on Monday and Thursday, hawker centres and durian stalls, alongside banks and bridal shops. Old shophouses are being turned into cafes and a pickleball venue, though the former SStwo Mall has stood empty since 2015 and its owner has said it will not redevelop the site.
The LDP, the Sprint and Jalan Harapan are close by, and Taman Bahagia LRT station on the Kelana Jaya Line serves it along with buses. Parking in the commercial area can be very hard at busy times. Small parks and playgrounds sit mostly among the houses, and in 2024 landed homes sold at a median of RM627 psf.
