Choosing a place to stay in Penang (22 September 2017)
This article is written specially for the benefit of people who are planning to move to Penang, and are considering different neighbourhoods before selecting a property. The scope of this article is presently Penang Island, but I will expand it to include Penang Mainland in the future.
Coming from a different state or country, you might not be very familiar with the neighbourhoods in Penang. So, on this page, I show you the location of the various neighbourhoods, in order that you may immediately understand their distance from the town centre . The main roads and provide you information about each of them, so that you can make an informed decision when you wish to buy a property or rent one.
In addition to giving you an idea about the neighbourhood, I will also share with use details such as traffic situation in the area, geography, and practical matters such as location of the nearest market and shopping mall.
When choosing a property, it is worth to determine its distance from your place of work, particularly if you are going to stay there. If your plan is to collect rental, then its distance from the city centre or centres of industry (such as the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone) should be taken into consideration, on top of other considerations, such as availability of amenities in the area. So properties should not be consider as stand alone, but rather impacted by its surroundings.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
