Puchong is a major town and a parliamentary constituency in the Petaling District, in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. Bordering Kuala Lumpur, it is part of the Greater Kuala Lumpur area. It is bordered by Petaling Jaya in the north, Subang Jaya in the west, Cyberjaya and Putrajaya in the south, and Seri Kembangan in the east.
Once a small settlement consisting of the tin mining and rubber tapping communities, Puchong has evolved into one of Klang Valley's most vibrant and bustling townships. While parts of Puchong have developed with residents who commute and work in both urban and suburban areas, many pockets have yet to fully mature, allowing a greater sprawl of urban dwellers to seek inhabitancy. This demand in living space is largely driven by the commute distance to Kuala Lumpur City Centre and sharp increase in property prices across other parts of the Kuala Lumpur (KL) metropolitan area.
