Location of Regency Heights

Regency Heights is 17.7 km to Komtar, 8.5 km to the Second Penang Bridge and 6.1 km to the Penang International Airport. By Penang standard, it is far from the city. If you work in the city, you should think twice before considering a home in this neighbourhood - after all, you will be travelling through other people's neighbourhoods before you get home. It is best for people working in the south side, such as at the Bayan Lepas Industrial Zone - though even then, I would say it is a bit remote.

Public Transport at Regency Heights

Rapid Penang Bus No. 302, 305 and 308 pass through Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim. The walk to the nearest bus stop is terribly far - something to consider if you rely on public transport.

Amenities at Regency Heights

The nearest schools include Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Chong Cheng, Sekolah Menengah Sungai Ara and Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan Chong Cheng and Sekolah Kebangsaan Mutiara Perdana.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
