Analysis

Actually, a lot of people are confused about the border of Bukit Bangsar and Bangsar Park. To make it easy, Bukit Bangsar is the thriving commercial enclave while Bangsar Park is the residential enclave with million ringgits bungalows and terraces. Bukit Bangsar is a good place to stay for one who heavily rely on public transport or wants to live next-door to the office.

However, in terms of liveability, the area is too congested with a lot of commercial activities – day and night. Traffic and parking are two main issues in the vicinity of. It is hardly to find a car park here during office hours. Adding to the headache, you might face indiscriminate double-parking problem – which is a usual scene in the vicinity.
