Development started in 1993 on former swampland, transforming the area into a modern integrated community. The project became a pioneering example of large-scale planned urban development in the Greater Jakarta region.
Korean residents form a significant part of the community and shape the local business and food scene. Their presence has created distinct neighborhood pockets with Korean shops, restaurants, and cultural centers that visitors can explore.
The community connects to Jakarta through the Jakarta-Tangerang highway with regular shuttle services available. An upcoming MRT line will improve connectivity and make travel to and from the area easier for visitors.
