As one of the main investment destinations in Malaysia, Penang attracts buyers for its real estate, not only from other states of the country, but also from various countries across the world. Until now, literature on Penang focuses on the tourism aspects. As a result, localities central to tourism gets more indepth coverage than the residential, commercial and industrial localities.
Understanding each locality is vital in making informed decision when planning to purchase Penang real estate. To start, the map below shows the various localities in Penang. These localities do not follow actual administrative divisions but are based on generally recognised geographic locations.
Also called Bandar Baru Air Itam, this self-contained township was developed in the late 1970s, and have a mix of older landed and newer high-rise development.
The state capital of Penang, George Town is home to the World Heritage Site, with its own height-controlled architecture, and newer high-rise development outside the core- and buffet zones.
Located on the eastern coast of Penang Island, Sungai Nibong developed in the late 1970s with large housing estates, with space for high-rise development in recent years.
A choice neighbourhood for holiday homes, Tanjung Bungah covers a hilly area on the north eastern part of Penang Island, west of Tanjong Tokong. It has luxury condominiums lining the coast.
Located on the southern coast of Penang Island, Teluk Kumbar is still semi rural, but as with all part of Penang Island, has seen both landed and high-rise development in recent years.

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.
