Van Praagh Road, PenangVan Praagh Road, Penang (9 September 2012)


Van Praagh Road (Malay: Jalan Van Praagh) is a road in the Batu Lanchang area between Green Lane and Jelutong. It is usually regarded as part of Jelutong. Originally an insignificant side road, Van Praagh Road has today become a major artery, with the development of many high rise apartment blocks in the area.

Van Praagh Road is busiest on Friday evening, when the Taman Kheng Tian Night Market is in full swing. It is a convenient place to live, with the apartment units catering to the lower to middle income families. There are also a limited number of double storey link houses located off Van Praagh Road priced around RM700,000 (as of 2010) and above.
