Although Emerald Heights is located in a highly secluded and pristine area, traffic congestions are not something that the residents can escape during peak hours. Although the residential roads are generally clear of traffic, getting to the residential area itself will be a massive problem as Lebuhraya Thean Tek tends to have very heavy traffic flows during peak hours.
Despite the desperate gridlock on all roads in Penang during peak hours, Emerald Heights is nevertheless the perfect place to come home to after a day in the hustling and bustling cities and towns of Penang. Residents will be able to lie back in nature and enjoy the quiet neighbourhood amidst the safety of their enclave.
With prime land running out on the island of Penang, Emerald Heights is fast becoming one of the most sought after investment plans in property due to its freehold status and upmarket location where prices are being pushed up due to the limited availability of these homes. Many of the residents here call this place "home" instead of "investment", as it is currently one of the most prime addresses in Penang.
