Raintree Garden, Penang

Raintree Garden, Sungai Ara (21 September 2009)


Raintree Garden (GPS: 5.31956, 100.26328) is an upmarket residential estate in the Desaria neighbourhood of Sungai Ara, Penang. It comprises Type A at Solok Kelicap and Type B at Cangkat Kenari 3. The houses here are 2-storey semi-detached.

Location

Raintree Garden is 17.7 km from Komtar. It is not the most ideal place to stay if you are working in the city, as it is simply too far, and you will wade through congested roads all the way. It is more appropriate for people working in the south side, such as at the Bayan Lepas Industrial Zone.

Public Transport

Raintree Garden is built for people with their own set of wheels. Your domestic help may have a long walk to reach the nearest bus stop. Rapid Penang Bus No. 302, 305 and 308 pass through Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim.

Amenities

The nearest school is Sekolah Menengah Sungai Ara, followed by Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan Chong Cheng and Sekolah Kebangsaan Mutiara Perdana. The nearest market is the Desa Ria Market in Desaria as well as the Sungai Ara Market. The bigger market in the area is the Bayan Baru Market. The nearest shopping centres include Sunshine Square and Giant Hypermarket. The nearest petrol stations include the Shell in Bayan Lepas town and the Esso, Caltex and Shell in Bayan Baru. The nearest hospital is Pantai Hospital.

Traffic

Traffic along Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim is heaviest between the Sungai Ara village and the junction of Jalan Kenari. The junction of Jalan Bayan and Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim is a source of congestion, especially during rush hour, when traffic queues can slow traffic to a crawl.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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