Thats, is 10 - 15 years story...

Hope that the roads in the area could also be re-planned and widened, otherwise the increase in population will only be making the traffic there even more congested.

Jalan Bukit Kukus got help on traffic at there?

Hi all,

I was planning to get a property for own stay recently. However, it is pretty hard to find a property that fulfilling all criteria/ need we want (which is usual).
There were a few factors that quite of hard for me to decide, hope anyone could give some advise.

My target range were about 600-700k.
Option 1: Projects with good location (to me), but probably with new developer e.i sandilands, the sun, celesta, montage etc. However, it is the developer were not so "branded" or common like IJM, setia, ecoworld, ideal.

Option 2: Projects with better developer (IJM, Setia, Ecoworld), it is either with very weird location (e.i eco terraces, sky vista) or it is way overprice (e.i waterside). But we can observed those also come with better workmanship and finishing, also management.

Option 3: Projects with "reasonable price" or average developer (Ideal), which with very acceptable PSF (e.i golden triangle, one imperial etc), but also crowded location and density.

I were toward option 1, but developer quality and management also kind of concern me, caused been observed sandilands price were not moving or project like the clovers, arteS.

I hope any experiences or experts could some POV or advise.

Hi all,
I will be relocating to Penang due to work soon and now I am considering if I can or should stay in the island because of traffic. My work place is in kulim hi tech park and if I stay in the island I should reach the bridge before 7am and in evening after work I will probably reach bridge around 630pm to 7pm. Will this be a problem with traffic as I see some bros mention that this direction traffic is not so bad. Is this true? Would appreciate for any advise to be given and thanks in advance

Not as bad as living on the mainland and commuting to the island for work. You are generally moving in the opposite direction of peak traffic, but you do need to get a feel of your specific route and get used to getting up early.

In general it is still ok as you will always be in the opposite direction of heavy traffic... morning time u will see ppl jam from mainland to island and going back time vice versa. But one thing you cannot avoid is the travel time is still 40 or 45 mins at least (one way) depending where u stay at island side and that could mean you will spend at least 1.5 hrs on the road daily. Also when got accident on the bridge, then good luck as well. If you are renting a place only then ok la. Try first and if too long commuting time then you can consider rent a place at kulim lo...

Well, I am used to waking up early in morning so that’s not a issue to me. I believe morning travel will be good for me but it’s the evening part going from mainland to island I am most worried. Distance wise I believe it will be around 40km but it’s not really far if  don’t get stuck too long in the bridge   

Oppsss, I will most likely be using the Penang bridge as I am looking to stay at queens waterfront where it’s more convenient. Using the 2nd bridge will be too far. Will Penang bridge be same in terms of jam for the direction I am using?

Unfortunately Alesi, the unit I have in consideration is pool view facing, not seaview facing. But with morning sun. In Queens its like rm800+psf even for units facing QB mall, no need to mention about those units seaview facing 😅 Way out of budget haha.

Units in Quay West seaview facing is higher in square foot size, therefore making it more expensive. Also a mere dream for a first house buyer like me 🤣 Plus, full seaview is not 100% guaranteed as there are, like you said future reclamation works to be done on the shoreline.

I did consider Tropicana Bay previously, but thought twice in buying second handed property as I understand that legal fees will be higher? 🤔 Plus I did hear that the gov is giving some benefits to first time home buyers buying off property directly from the developer (for this year at least)

May I ask for your kind opinion on high density condos? Like versus low density condos, as I’ve seen a lot of Fb ads promoting “low density” as one of their selling points. The density per acre has got me a bit worried that I’m thinking of considering future developments in that area instead 😅 Which may backfire if prices are skyrocketing high.

Would also like to know about the work quality of this developer aka Asia Green Group. Would like to consult professionals like yourself because I can sense that you have a lot of experience in this field ☺️

I've experienced staying in a unit facing east. It's actually very bearable compared to afternoon sun. The walls facing the sun don't have sufficient time to warm up to make the room hot after the sun stops shining on them (noon time onwards). In fact, I only manage to dry my clothes on the balcony if I take them out early enough when there's still sunshine.

Hi Mushigen Thanks for the feedback! I assume you’re staying in a condo located in Penang as well? Afternoon/early evening sun here can kill a population I swear 🤣🤣 Therefore facing the morning sun is a must to me lol. Are you living around Bayan Lepas area?
