Island Glades, Penang

Island Glades, Penang (3 July 2017)


Island Glades (GPS: 5.38392, 100.30517) is a residential neighbourhood within the suburb of Jelutong, in George Town, Penang. When the entire Green Lane was developed, it became a new suburb detached from Jelutong, and Island Glades became a neighbourhood within Green Lane. Although today it is one of the older housing estates, until the beginning of 1960, Island Glades was still countryside. Before Island Glades was developed, Green Lane was just a single country road leading south.

Island Glades developed rapidly between 1960 and 1975. New houses filled up the former plantation land (hence "glades"). When they were brand new, every row had a different colour roof. So it was quite a vibrant sight. In the early 1980's there was an attempt to rename it Taman Mutiara, but that never really catch on. Today, new high rise residential housing continues to be constructed at the edges of Island Glades, as far as there were still land to build.

Island Glades is 6.2 km from Komtar, making it an ideal place to stay for those working in the city.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
