Taman Saga is one of the more outskirt housing developments of Ampang, located very close to nature. However, despite their seemingly remote location, traffic here is usually congested in the evenings, especially along Jalan Taman Putra. The slip roads are usually the worst congested, with traffic getting even worse closer to the city centre.The neighbourhood of Taman Saga is a very well established one that where the houses are aged and old fashioned. Although this quaint neighbourhood is quite attractive, one of the resident's biggest fears is the continuing problem of soil erosion on the Saga Hill which reeks of a major landslide in the making every time it rains, causing soil to flow down.Many people love the idea of Taman Saga and living here in the remote areas of the city's outskirts; however, the soil erosion is something to needs to be addressed as soon as possible. On top of that, the land title is also leasehold, which might pose problems in the future. However in the meantime, residents and buyers who are looking for a nice and peaceful home will be able to find a good place in Taman Saga.
