you not just buy a house in ecoworld. you buying a lifestyle in a township with the exclusive experience.

island 800k only can buy upper tier condo or very old subsale terrace in old area with no guard and facilities with narrow roads and many cars parked at the roadside as there is not enough parking in the house compound

just like buying 2 myvi vs 1 X70. you get more cars with myvi but you cant get the comfort and safety of the X70

no place in island you can find this type of well designed township with potentially huge growth potential. batu kawan is just like bandar utama/mutiara damansara/ kota damansara 20 years ago.

Obviously you didn't visit this area.
Signs of settlement already happening at Design Village. Roads & external parking lots sinking.

😂😂😂😂😂

Omg lol



😂😂😂😂😂

That place is a living oven. Isolated and hot af, 24 7 sir condition indoor.

Wow... 800k in Penang...

Good luck to those "investor"

You not looking hard enough.
On the island RM600k 1300 sq ft 3bed 2 toilets 1 car park apartment, 4 units to a floor, near schools and market.
Many flipper & investors kenot tahan almost 2 yrs of covid are desperately cutting their loss!

So too are developers, gives you fully furnish unit, just wanna you to move in and stay!
Not to give the impression of a dead condo - ada guards but no resident!!

"Got ikea nearby so price must increase 99"

- buying a house as an "investment"

What is the original price ?

landed gated

need to pay maintenance

both Ikea shoplots and Design Village in very sad state. Not much happening before Covid, much worst now.

IKEA was set up there due to cheaper land for larger business premises, yet “smart” prop flippers think the land is valuable…. The irony.

For this kind of houses with township planning and gated/guarded that is around the price.

For penang island those with similar township planning for comparison:

Botanica - balik pulau
Southbay - batu maung
Quayside - tg tokong
Permai garden - tg bungah

Still got some boutique one with not as large township but yeah prices not cheap for these that want “clean/neat” neighbourhood.

Those you mentioned one some are old neighbourhood with alot of legacy issues, like drainage, illegal parkings, small narrow lorongs etc.

RM838k for 2.4k sqft is quite okay to pay for a premium price.

you don't expect to walk into Gucci/Prada/Hermes/LV and expecting to pay Bonia/Carlo/Nike price right?

First phase was only 7xxk when its first launched. Anyhow it is fully sold by the developer during the Launch

The Light - Gelugor

The size and number of those houses make the place seem....on the lower end ?

Edit : Didnt check the sqft per house yet

This is true alot of big ass flies. But the problem lies in location just not nice and far from island.

Well in terms of settlement issues, I remember when straits quay launching people also say don’t buy cause its reclaimed land. Well that turn out alright, cause the neighbourhood and its residence prop up the prices.

Actually if you really go to that place, the only weak point is - bad signal

Theres no such thing about bad/foul smell or flies

Settlement issues is dependent on the developer.
Many tall buildings in Singapore/Hong Kong seldom have this issues.

Straits Quay landed property do have water ponding issues & some roads & pavement are slightly lower than original.

Which Ikea in Malaysia is built with double doors and positive air?
