The township has numerous schools, colleges, a hospital, places of worship, and vibrant commercial areas.

Subang Jaya was developed by Sime UEP Berhad, the property development arm of the Malaysian conglomerate Sime Darby Berhad. The site was formerly an oil palm plantation called Seafield Estate. Construction work in Subang Jaya began in 1974 and was concluded in 1988. Upon the completion of Subang Jaya, in that same year Sime UEP began clearing land for the development of USJ.

In 1997, Subang Jaya was granted with the status of a municipality. Local authority was transferred from the Majlis Perbandaran Petaling Jaya (MPPJ) (Petaling Jaya Municipal Council) to the newly gazetted Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ) (Subang Jaya Municipal Council). The MPSJ holds local government authority not only in Subang Jaya, but USJ, Bandar Sunway, Puchong and other parts of Petaling district.

A shopping complex, Subang Parade and the hypermarket chain Carrefour serve Subang Jaya. The SS 15 area also serves as a commercial centre. In nearby USJ, other shopping complexes , The Summit Subang USJ, MYDIN and local hypermarket chain Giant, now owned by Dairy Farm International (DFI) (acquired in 1999) provide alternative shopping destinations for Subang Jaya residents.

Subang Jaya has also become known as a higher education hub, with three large colleges in the area, namely Taylors University College, Inti College, and [[1]]Metropolitan College, and Sunway University College, which is a few kilometres from Subang Jaya. This has led to much of the housing in the area, especially in the SS15 section, being converted to accommodation for students. Also, many education consultation firms offering advices regarding overseas educational opportunities are located in this area.

Subang also has 4 national primary schools and 3 national high schools, as well as one national-type primary school. There is also a private school which caters for both primary and secondary levels.

Subang Jaya is well-connected to the cities of Kuala Lumpur and Shah Alam and the townships of Petaling Jaya, Bandar Sunway and Klang via a network of highways, namely the Federal Highway, the Shah Alam Expressway, the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), the New Pantai Expressway (NPE), the North-South Expressway Central Link and the Damansara-Puchong Expressway. Subang Jaya is also served by an urban-suburb rail link, the KTM Komuter. In August 2006, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Mohd Najib Abdul Razak announced that the western end of the Kelana Jaya Line would be extended to Subang Jaya as well. Given its high accessibility, ample amenities and strategic location, demand for properties in Subang Jaya has soared, pushing prices upwards by as much as over 100% in some areas.

Health care in Subang Jaya is provided by the private Subang Jaya Medical Centre. Other private clinics and dental surgeries provide basic healthcare services.

Masjid Darul Ehsan in SS 15 is the main worshipping place of Muslims in Subang Jaya. There are also two other mosques in SS19 and SS17, but the former has been closed for remodelling. There is also a Hindu temple and a Buddhist Association building where Buddhists worship as well in SS13. A Baptist Church (First Baptist Church Subang Jaya) can be found in SS17.

One of the current infrastructure development of Subang Jaya is the new flyover of Subang-Kelana Jaya Link connecting the Kewajipan Roundabout of New Pantai Expressway E 10 towards Subang Airport Highway (route 15) of Federal Highway (route 2).

A freak hailstorm which was likened to a typhoon hit Subang Jaya on 10 March 2006. It was the worst storm ever experienced by residents and it damaged the roofs of houses and uprooted trees around town. Residents of SS13, SS14, SS15 and SS17 were the hardest hit.
