Sri Hartamas (Golden Estates in English) is an affluent residential township in the Segambut constituency of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Sri Hartamas is located right next to Mont Kiara, another affluent township consisting of mainly high-rise apartment buildings and contains a significant expatriate community, as well as Bukit Damansara to the southeast.

The wide streets turned out to a boon for multi car households that live in the area with limited garage space when the neighbourhood went through a renaissance period.

Mont Kiara as well as Sri Hartamas quickly became very popular, not only with the Malaysian young professionals, but also with expatriate families, who hail mostly from Australia, Japan, China, Britain and mainland Europe.

The extra security and the two international private schools in Sri Hartamas that opened at this time made the area a boon for expatriate families.

Americans as well as single expatriates on the contrary tended to prefer living in nearby Bangsar, another neighbourhood closer to restaurants, clubs, bars and shopping malls.

From there, the firm was established under a joint venture with real estate tycoon Tan Sri Chong Kok Lim, Datuk Syed Kechik from Kumpulan Syed Kechik Sdn Bhd and Datuk Wong Kee Tat from Kuala Lumpur Industries Holdings Berhad.

However, the expatriate community that once lived here in large numbers dwindled after the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997–1999, when people moved back to their home countries.

As a challenge, the contestants' who flew in from Poland in Leg 9 of the series, were asked to roam the neighbourhood soliciting surat khabar lama (Malay), or "old newspapers" (English) from Sri Hartamas residents for recycling.
