Analysis

The developers are GSD Land, a development company that only focuses on the area of Sungai Ara, Penang. All units within Gardens Ville has been sold out within three months of launch. Penang is one of the states in Malaysia with the highest rates of property capital appreciation. Some attribute this to the governance of Penang which has been stellar, therefore attracting considerable amounts of expatriate interest.There are relatively few cons to the property, one of which is the traffic. The traffic in Penang is horrible as the population density is among the highest in Malaysia. Nearby, Jalan Paya Terubong, and Jalan Tun Dr. Awang is congested often before, during and after peak hours. But if you have chosen to live in Penang, traffic is merely part and parcel of it.
