It's located just outside Kuala Lumpur, making it convenient for those who work in the city but prefer a quieter, more residential environment. PJ is home to numerous international schools, shopping malls, and supermarkets that carry imported goods, which makes daily life easy and familiar for expats. The area also boasts a lively café scene and plenty of Western and Asian dining options. English is widely spoken, and most locals are accustomed to interacting with foreigners, so it's easy to integrate.
