Analysis

Directly behind and not more than a 5 minutes walk away from Villa Sri Kenanga is Kompleks Sunny Point which is where residents will be able to do some shopping and dining without having to travel far from home. This development is also only a stone’s throw away from Universiti Sains Malaysia, making this an ideal location for students and employers of USM, thereby allowing for the residents to gain some extra form of returns if they were to decide to rent out their units to that particular group of people.However, the Batu Uban locale is somewhat similar to a residential island that is surrounded by major roads on all sides. Due to the high density of the living areas and insufficient parking spaces, many residents of neighboring blocks tend to park their vehicles alongside the roads outside their respective condominiums / apartments.Nevertheless, the traffic condition can be smooth except during rush hours when congestion from the Penang Bridge often spill onto the two aforementioned major roads as a result of its proximity to the Penang Bridge. It suffers from the gridlock created by traffic heading towards the bridge, particularly on Friday evening, when people rush to get out of Penang for the weekend.
