Real Estate Review: BayStar Condominium, Queensbay, Bayan Lepas, Penang

BayStar (GPS: 5.33467, 100.30802) is a condominium in the Queensbay area of Bayan Lepas. It is located right across from Queensbay Mall. BayStar comprises two 11-storey blocks with a total of 160 units. Each unit has a size ranging from 1,562 to 2,491 sqft. All units are corner units in a semi-detached layout, affording great views of either the sea or the mall.

The proximity of Queensbay Mall is a definite plus point for BayStar. Other conveniences such as restaurants and banks are also close by. On the negative side, it is built on reclaimed land, which is not favoured by many. Furthermore, the only access roads connect to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, which is prone to traffic jams.

Traffic situation at BayStar Condominium

Access to Queensbay is through the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway and Jalan Aziz Ibrahim, which connects to the Sungai Nibong junction at the Express Bus Terminal. Both the expressway and Jalan Aziz Ibrahim experience heavy traffic especially during rush hour, Friday evenings and Saturday evenings. When these two are jammed, you are cut off from the rest of Penang - but at least you can go shopping at Queensbay Mall.
