The Ukay Heights reminded me a lot of old Hollywood Hills/Beverly Hills, but just a bit more tropical. I love the architecture and the windy, hilly roads. And . . . your jazz piano music couldn't be more spot on and tastefully relaxing Taylor. Thanks so much for sharing this one with us.
We just loved Ukay Heights, and your tour brought back so many great memories. It is so green, hilly, and lush, and the diversity of the architecture makes it interesting to explore. The apartment is stunning, and how fantastic to have that rooftop terrace!
Definitely aggreed; it reminded me of Honolulu/wikiki east side of the island neigborhood. Thanks so much for sharings. Let this type of videos keep coming...
Watching the video over my morning coffee here in Amsterdam. The intro music and motorcycle tour was so nice and relaxing and the video was like having a conversation with new friends. Thanks!
Wow, just wow,Taylor! What a place! It was so nice of your guests to let us into their beautiful home. Thank you for showing us another wonderful neighborhood, so green and lush. There seems to be something about the Malaysian vibe that just comes through on the screen. I hope you are continuing to improve and am sending you my best wishes. Until next time! Be well.
What a nice area, clean, no traffic, lots of greenery and great views. Love the nice open unit and a private roof top. The cheeky Monkeys scare me though. Good luck to them for doing so well but I guess a lot of hard work went into it. Love these videos showing different parts of KL. Thank you.🙏👍🙂
Hi Mr Taylor .. nice video..next.. try explore BUKIT ANTARABANGSA not far from Ukay Height ..you will be amazed by the greenery..it is a residential area wt condos, bungalows and terrace houses..There's a famous place call STELVIO BUKIT ANTARABANGSA/SUNSET VIEW...crowded with ppl especially on weekends..
very nice drive around video.. love the ambience music.. you made it so very appealing.. yes.. beautiful homes.. the night view must be something to die for.. but the truth is my dear Taylor.. it's heaven for mosquitos.. and those monkey's are vicious pest.. I was there about 30 years ago.. not sure what the situation is like now.. those two couples are one tough cookies.. I don't suppose you could do a video about the up and coming new big town in Genting highland.. I heard its selling like hot cakes.. there's few Videos about it..
Hi Taylor, enjoyed that very much, thank you. Nostalgia for me. Apart from KL there are also suburbs in Petaling Jaya that you will find similar houses and greenery, like PJ sections 14 or 16/ Jalan Gasing. Very mature, convenient, green areas. Easy accessibility too from Ampang KL via train too. There is a big, gorgeous park with a lake - Taman Tasik and a magnificent Thai Buddhist temple there. There used to be the oldest A&W in Malaysia there as well but was torn down in 2020. My friends and I used to meet up there after school back in the '70's😁 ...stay well. Looking forward to your next adventure 👍
@@andrewtaylor4558 Thanks for replying, Taylor. Can I recommend one more place that you may like to check out? Sentul area. Not far from your place and near KL Performing Arts Centre. Beautiful buildings and grounds and restaurants/bistros within. used to be a warehouse for the Railway. I attended a theatre workshop for seniors there once...so impressed by the area....anyway sorry, thought I'd share that in case you might want to know what else KL offers...😄
Upon reviewing you old program I stumbled upon a great place to stay upon our arrival to KL ! Thanks for the tips and locations to explore!! Do more of these to boost your viewing! 👍
Taylor, this was exquisite 👌🏻 I love piano jazz and this neighborhood is stunning 😍 Your guest's penthouse was fabulous too, and the view! Thank you so much for sharing thjs with us.
Is good idea to explore around by bike 😅 thank for showing beautiful & nice view of the penthouse ☘️🌿🌱⚘️🍀🗺🏕 have a nice weekend Andrew lets explore ahead 🛵
Great place. Ukay Heights looks Okay! 😊 Likes the green view as also the buildings and penthouse Condo. And besides that privacy and just to relax really good to stay .Travel by bike really cool, Andrew.
Great tour with good smooth tunes accompaniment. A little longer and deeper session with the folks being interviewed would have been nice but otherwise very enjoyable! 👍
Oh this remind me of my 8 months stay in UK heights. I never did like it there because living in Malaysia that I love, is all about family, friendship neighbourhood, societal interaction and connection with nature. Anyone can tell that living in the "kampungs", we can get a higher dose of these. I consider my life is an adventure in paradise till I widen my perspective learning from the social media, that this planet is all about the struggle of the good against evil. We foolishly thought that by climbing up the pyramidal power structure, we improve the quality of our lives but instead we eventually isolate ourselves and loose the heart connection with all live forms coming out of that one consciousness. I am waiting for the rest of the world to understand this, so that we can make this world a paradise that we all dream of.
I understood completely what you're trying to say but I guess different people have different preference and way of connecting with others and their community.. but personally I also felt that living in a big house is nice but only if I'm living with a big family, with lots of children playing around. It will be so lonely to be living with just my spouse or a couple of grown up children looking forward to widen their horizons beyond our home boundary.. a decent size home (like the couple's condo or even smaller) is already perfect for me to live and retire tho I still prefer to be on the ground than up in the sky.
Ukay Height is so overbuilt now. My father built a house there back in the mid 80s. At that time it was very spacious, your next door neighbors where like at least two house spaces away. Lots of privacy. There were a lot more single family home then. Now I saw in your video there are lots of townhouses linked together. Ukay Height is a favorite place for expats and foreign embassy staff since Jalan Ampang were known as and I believe still known as the Embassy Row. I still remember that the first or second shopping mall that open back then was Ampang Park. Not big but very pleasant mall to walk around. Good memory. Now thinking of coming back to K.L. Been in the U.S. for too long.
Thank you it was great fun fun video I liked it so much the area very fancy and clean and quiet also should be safe this is great also the House is so big for army not for two people 😂😂 thanks again and see you soon. 🙂.
Taylor, c’est pour les riches et célèbres, les Beverly Hills de Malaisie. C’est magnifique vue de KL, un quartier serein et une excellente musique de fond, . Incroyable vidéo, merci beaucoup.
Greetings from Palm Harbor! Just found your channel and am enjoying it as we're REALLY thinking of moving out of Florida as well and heading to SE Asia - cheers Sir!
Thank you for a charming video. I liked the interview too. Can you do a video on the facilities and amenities nearby? Where do the residents shop most frequently? Gyms, supermarkets, organic farms, restaurants, community hangouts, etc. That would be most interesting for viewers!
Loved this video, Taylor! While I am not eying KL as my retirement spot, it is still nice to see what it there and yes this area is lovely. Is there any chance you may move back to Penang?
I know Taylor you Prefer Penang but it really doesn’t get much better than this Perhaps you could do a video on the new building on KL the SECOND HIGHEST IN THE WORLD
You should go visit my sister and her husband at Signal hill Kota Kinabalu. They have a beautiful place overlooking the sea. And another sister also at same area but different house their place is facing the woody area
Apologize for my off topic question. Where will you recommend for first time visitor to stay in Peneng that is close to public transportation and street food vendors?
Yup, we have to maintain it and for us, it's getting harder as we're in our sixties, but you can always hire a gardener to come over every other day or week to help do the cleaning up. The price to pay to wake up in the morning listening to birds singing in your garden and green peace😊💚
Nice job showing around this mostly upscale neighborhood. It just shows if you have money, you can live well in any country. This lifestyle is out of reach for most of us in America.
Is it called UK Heights because that is where all the British expats live? 🤣 I like that there seems to be no traffic there! I also like the background music in the video, but it's a bit loud 😂
Its actually the glamorized name for 'Ulu Kelang' which is the district where this neighborhood is located. Ulu Kelang actually sounded very rural and unattractive in local language thats why the land developer gave such names to elevate the township standard and status.
Nice, mansion row, kind of boring for a single person. I'd rather live in some place a tad bit more interesting. One of those rice field villages on the Borneo side would be more stimulating if it had a screaming internet connection and a quick ride to KK when you wanted to do the urban thing.

Hi @tkam9
Just FYI, Ampang Park mall has gone and now replaced by MRT station.
The other oldies mall nearby is Ampang Point Shopping Mall.
Glad you're making videos again. Hope things are getting better day by day~
I haven’t missed a week. I put up a new video every Saturday morning, 8 am Malaysia time. 😊

Incroyable vidéo, merci beaucoup.
Thank you so much 😊
It looks like a fantastic area!
It is!
We have watched every video and we love them so much we have decided to move to Malaysia from the UK in the next few months ❤️
Wow, good luck to you!
Ohhh small world, I know him!!! I used to work with him in Bangkok, good to see him here.
Greetings from Palm Harbor! Just found your channel and am enjoying it as we're REALLY thinking of moving out of Florida as well and heading to SE Asia - cheers Sir!
Go for it! 😊 I have a condo in Clearwater!
Hi Taylor
A very different video from others. You will become a neighborhood guide for foreigners who want to come in KL.
Thanks 😊
Other places are mount kiara, bangsar, bukit tunku (previously called Kenny hills)
Ty sir!
Nice VDO and indeed a very beautiful Penthouse. Would be nice to have a little bit longer interview with the very sympathetic owners....
What a fancy house 🤩
Yes, beautiful. 😊
Looking forward to watching YOUR moto tour through a busy market. Mixing -it-up with a few pedestrians! - Petaling, perhaps?
Not a chance. 😂
Thank you for a charming video. I liked the interview too.
Can you do a video on the facilities and amenities nearby? Where do the residents shop most frequently? Gyms, supermarkets, organic farms, restaurants, community hangouts, etc. That would be most interesting for viewers!
Great suggestion!
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL 💚💖💙💜💛
Yes, it is. 😊
nice hood...yeah...i'm down for that hood.
Loved this video, Taylor! While I am not eying KL as my retirement spot, it is still nice to see what it there and yes this area is lovely. Is there any chance you may move back to Penang?
Thanks, I might move back to Penang. Not sure yet. 😊
What a nice looking neighborhood. Probably too pricy for me. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
When will be your next video? Looking forward to it !
Every Saturday morning at 8 am Malaysia time. Subscribe and check notifications so you won’t miss! 😊
I know Taylor you Prefer Penang but it really doesn’t get much better than this
Perhaps you could do a video on the new building on KL the SECOND HIGHEST IN THE WORLD
Very nice.
Thank you
😊 ukay origin standfor ulu kelang district , like beverlyhills 😊
Still prefers Georgetown anytime, mate
Desa park city is very good. can have a look there too
I need to go there!
Morning andrew
You should go visit my sister and her husband at Signal hill Kota Kinabalu. They have a beautiful place overlooking the sea. And another sister also at same area but different house their place is facing the woody area
Sounds great!
Taylor...how long did it take to learn to drive on the left? Great video
Thanks, took me about a week to learn. 😊
Wow, makes me want to retire to this neighborhood, if I can afford it.
Apologize for my off topic question. Where will you recommend for first time visitor to stay in Peneng that is close to public transportation and street food vendors?
Probably Tanjung Tokong. Very centrally located. 😊
How did you keep the camera so steady while riding your Vespa ?
I have it in a harness around my chest. Plus the camera takes out vibrations
🙏🏼
I appreciate your channel. Do you have an idea how much housing is in that neighborhood to rent? Condos and small homes? Thank you
Nice neighborhood. I just keep thinking about yard maintenance in a tropical climate. Everything must grow like weeds.😂
Yup, we have to maintain it and for us, it's getting harder as we're in our sixties, but you can always hire a gardener to come over every other day or week to help do the cleaning up. The price to pay to wake up in the morning listening to birds singing in your garden and green peace😊💚
You got that right! 😂
Many Malaysia from claim from "UK"
Yep
UK stands for Ulu Klang NOT United Kingdom
Monkeys.... cute but you need strong bars to keep them out
Thanks for the great video
Thanks for watching!
Nice job showing around this mostly upscale neighborhood. It just shows if you have money, you can live well in any country. This lifestyle is out of reach for most of us in America.
Sadly 😞
Bangsar is the best. 🤣🤣🤣😀
What’s the rent like for a 3 or 4 bedroom in these areas?
Check Property Guru
Yeah but I only have social security $1300 I need some in the $200 to $300 price
czcams.com/video/noOQ1MV_QXg/video.html
What are the prices there for a comparable apartment? As seen on the video? only approximately.
Nice area. 😍💐🐲
I’m not sure but probably over rm 6,000
It doesn't seem to have many apartments for rent. How much does it cost to rent a one bedroom in the area?
Not many apartments in this area.
@@andrewtaylor4558 I wonder if Damansara Heights has many condos
What about rental prices in that area? And public transport?
I’ve seen condos there for under rm 3,000
@@andrewtaylor4558 very interesting. Will you show us in another episode??

I also like the background music in the video, but it's a bit loud 😂
No, it’s Ukay. Named for a nearby area. You can always turn down the volume. 😂
Its actually the glamorized name for 'Ulu Kelang' which is the district where this neighborhood is located. Ulu Kelang actually sounded very rural and unattractive in local language thats why the land developer gave such names to elevate the township standard and status.

Have you faced any instances of discrimination?
Not personally
