Taman Kobena is a rather old neighbourhood, thus upon first glance, it appears poorly maintained. There are a number of houses that have been renovated and coated with fresh paints, but the majority appear unkempt. Neighbourhood roads are narrow and compact, with cars lining the streets and double parked outside houses.Population and commercial density are both high, so there is a steady stream of activity throughout the day. Traffic during peak hours is congested on most roads into the housing development, especially since there are so many schools surrounding the area. Jalan Skudai is problematic, to say the least, so do avoid that road and try alternatives such as Lebuhraya Pasir Gudang or Jalan Tampoi.That aside, there is no doubt that living in Taman Kobena is convenient. Located within walking distance to schools, restaurants and commercial areas, there is not much of a need to venture far for amenities or entertainment. The airport is also just a 25 minute drive away.
