Hi all,
I'm relocating to work in FIZ soon, considering buying a house in Bayan Lepas area. Max budget 600k. Sg. Ara area got many choices such as Imperial Grande, One Imperial, Sierra Residence, Skycube, Iconic Skies. Got any tips for me to consider if I'm planning for a long term stay? If I leave like 7am from Sg. Ara can reach FIZ by 8am?
Don't mind farther abit towards Orchard Ville, Setia Sky Vista or Setia Pinnacle if it's more advantageous over there for being low density.
Thank you all in advance for sharing your wisdom!

QUOTE(oe_kintaro @ Oct 29 2021, 04:06 PM) Setia Pinnacle is pretty nice in terms of workmanship like all Setia projects from that time period. One hour usually enough to get to work in the FIZ, but also depending on route and the location of your workplace. FIZ got 4 phases on the island. Penang rush hour traffic can be pretty funny. Miss an important time window by a few mins, you'll find yourself caught in a massive congestion that adds 15- 30 mins to your commute. Thank God I shifted my commute to the mainland. Wow do you commute from mainland to the island, one of the FIZs as well? Where do you stay in the mainland? How long does it take you to commute like that? |

QUOTE(oe_kintaro @ Oct 30 2021, 08:29 AM) Actually I stay on the island and commute to Batu Kawan for work using the 2nd link. Majority of native islanders will not do that as they perceive it as "far". In reality I save petrol on my commute because it's smooth traffic all the way as I'm always travelling on the opposite direction of rush hour traffic. It only takes me 35-40 mins, the same amount of time for a Penang islander to get to the FIZ, plus I get the bonus of a stress free, congestion free commute with a great view. I see. Ya it can be unintuitive to think that travelling across the bridge somehow saves more petrol than commuting on the island itself. 2nd bridge is it got a lot of cars coming to the island in the morning and going out of the island in the evening? |

QUOTE(oe_kintaro @ Oct 31 2021, 10:56 AM) 2nd bridge generally not as jammed as 1st bridge. Once you get on the ramp, you can basically travel at cruising speed both ways even at peak hours. Driving within FIZ means dealing with start stop traffic and congestion. Wow sounds good wei. It's good that you are able to have this convenient commute. Who knows when development will ramp up and cause 2nd bridge to be just as congested as the 1st. Not soon enough that's for sure. I found this article regarding some controversy of an affordable home project impacting Setia Pinnacle: https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news...-of-access-roadIt's from 2 years ago, wonder how's the situation now. Might have to arrange an appointment with an agent to have a look see. |
