Bukit Dumbar overlaps with Jelutong.
Facilities at Dumbar Villa
Facilities are quite basic such as guard house, fencing and parking lot.
Location of Dumbar Villa
Dumbar Villa is 5.7 km from
Komtar. It is suitable for people who work in George Town. The access road to Dumbar Villa is however pretty narrow, and it leads to the ever-congested Jelutong Main Road. The plus point is that you can leave your car at home and walk to the market, which is a short distance away.

Traffic situation at Dumbar Villa
Traffic is heavy along Jalan Jelutong. There is also a bottleneck in front of the
Jelutong Market. There is a makeshift divider along the road to prevent motorists making illegal turning in to Bukit Dumbar Indah, but still several risk themselves as well as on-going traffic to make the turning.
