Residents of Taman Kepong Indah generally enjoy smooth flowing traffic at all times of the day, especially if approaching from the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2). The turn-off into the residential area along the Selayang - Kepong Highway on the other hand is extremely congested during peak hours, with the slip roads to and fro the MRR2 being the worst affected.The neighbourhood of Taman Kepong Indah may not be as aesthetically pleasing as some of its neighbours; however, it still presents excellent living opportunities with its quiet and peaceful environment. Many residents are however deterred from utilising the facilities at the Kepong Metropolitan Lake Garden as they complain of an unbearable stench from the lake. House break-ins are also common in the area, posing a problem for residents.Taman Kepong Indah does not present so much of an investment opportunity as it sits on leasehold land where renewing the lease in future might be problematic. It is however at the moment an excellent place for locals to call a home as it is remarkably affordable for a home so centrally located in the city.
