It is strategically located at the north and west of New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), east of Subang Airport Highway, south of Puncak Alam Highway. It is embraced by Kota Damansara to the north, Taman Tun Dr Ismail to the east, Subang Jaya to the south, and Kayangan Height to the west. It also sits between the Saujana Golf and Country Club and the Tropicana Golf and Country Club. It is served by the Federal Highway, Malaysia (Federal Route 2), New Klang Valley Expressway AH2, and Subang Jaya-Kelana Jaya. Interchange nearby will provide motorists to the various part of Klang Valley via Federal Highway, New Pantai Expressway (NPE) and KESAS Highway. With its strategic location, easy accessibility, and affluent customer base, Ara Damansara is poised to be developed into a prestige township offering a lifestyle that promotes close-knit community living.

Accessibility into the township is via the six-lane dual carriageway Subang Airport Highway and Subang Kelana-Link interchange. Second access is through New Klang Valley Expressway tunnel via Crimson Condominium to Damansara–Puchong Expressway (LDP).
