UEP Subang Jaya (often referred to as USJ by locals) is a major residential township in the Klang Valley, adjacent to its older and smaller twin township of Subang Jaya. USJ covers an area of 10.12 square kilometres, and has a population of over 150,000.

USJ is now a maturing township well-provided with amenities. It features one of the only 3 vision schools in the country and newly built schools, the Subang Jaya Municipal Council Complex with its adjoining football turf and athletic fields and a very vibrant and robust commercial centre dubbed Taipan(USJ 10).

Taipan is the township's central business area and is famous throughout the Klang Valley for its variety of food outlets. There are numerous food outlets ranging from fastfood, alfresco dining, modern contemporary cuisine down to fusion Asian-western food.

USJ also has shopping malls such as the Summit Square and local hypermarket chain Giant and local whole-saler Mydin,located at the north-eastern part of the residential city.

Due to the location of the township at the criss-crossing of a network of highways, it has experienced accelerated growth, and rocketing property appreciation. These highways and byways that define the edges and that passes through the town makes it one of the most accessible places in the country but also as one of the most congested places in the Klang Valley. These network of highways are the Federal Highway, the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Ekspress Lingkaran Timur Tengah (ELITE), KESAS, the Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP) and the New Pantai Expressway (NPE).

Subang Jaya inclusive of the USJ area boast of three lane roads in a residential area, however due to the excessive dependency to private transportation, this residential's road system are often over-capacitated during rush hours. (includes lunch and dinner time during the weekends). Sometimes, the traffic congestion can be very bad due to traffic lights not working after a storm or when the traffic lights' timing are faulty.
