Facility-rich enclave
Residents can be assured of a strong sense of security as the neighborhood boasts a 24-hour security system powered by guard patrol, visitor management system as well as CCTV surveillance.
The Glades is also equipped with fiber-optics for the convenience of residents, community portal and management services, as well as Wi-Fi access in the common areas.
A residents-only clubhouse situated within the township hosts an array of sports and recreational facilities. The clubhouse sits next to the waterways which forms the heart of this development.
This waterway was specially designed with a bio-filtration system to achieve a self-sustainable water body over time.
Within The Glades, parks are viewed as an extension from the internal space to the outdoors.
Residents can enjoy the park that can be used for many activities - walking through shaded areas, running adjacent to a stream and finding shade under a tree for a relaxing nap.
The Glades is also integrated with state-of-the-art green features. Some of these green features include rainwater harvesting, double volume tinted windows to allow maximum natural lighting into each household, energy saving LED street lighting, a recycling depot as well as a centralised waste management system.
The waste management system will transport the garbage from residents' homes directly to the recycling depot. This means there will no longer be a need for a garbage truck to pick up garbage from house to house.
Residents can shop at their very own neighbourhood mall dubbed the Glades Plaza located just at its doorstep offering more conveniences to its residence.
The township is easily accessible via major highways which include the Elite Highway, South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE), Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP), Kesas Highway and the Federal Highway.
