Although Pantai Apartment is set in a matured and developed area, residents should hardly face traffic congestion. The closest they will come to being stuck in traffic is during peak hours which is the norm unless one is staying in a village. Other than that residents ought to have an easy time getting around. There is not much information on this apartment which is good news because if the apartment had any problems it would be widely publicised as per the norm. It has been mentioned in passing that the apartments here are suitable for the aged, indicating that this apartment is rather peaceful. Investing in this apartment is a bit of a risk which might prove fruitful only in the long run as the price of the apartment has not shown much progression at all in the recent years in spite of the property boom in Penang. However as a permanent home it has potential as there are very few condominiums left in Penang anymore that has a sea view and is selling cheap. Furthermore it is well located, a factor that potential buyers will look into.
