Permai Ria is located right in the hub of Tanjung Bungah. The medium cost apartment neighbors Azuria and Grand Ocean. It consists of 2 blocks of 12-storey apartments. Each unit has a built-up area of 700 sf, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Basic facilities include a security guard and a covered multistorey car park plaza. Each apartment unit is assigned only one car park slot as well. In terms of basic amenities, Permai Ria is conveniently within walking distance to SK Tanjung Bungah, SK Pendidikan Khas Persekutuan and the BS Beauty Concept Academy. Dalat International School, Nurture Kids Enrichment centre, SMK Tanjung Bungah and International School of Penang are all less than 5 minutes drive away. Chinese food and seafood is also easily accessible on foot due to its close proximity to the beach (e.g. Sunshine Bay Seafood, Tsunami Seafood Restaurant, Gooday Restaurant). Of course, arguably the best perk of living at Permai Ria is being less than 10 minutes walking distance away from the Tanjung Bungah beach. Other conveniences include ATM machines (Maybank and Ambank) and two medical centres (Tejani Medical Centrem Klinik Shama) within less than 5 minutes walking distance. Pondok Polis Tanjung Bungah is also reachable in less than 10 minutes on foot as well, just in case of emergencies. By car, George Town is only 16 minutes away from the apartment. The Tanjung Bungah Rapid Penang bus hub is located just outside the apartment, making it convenient to travel back and forth from the unit.

Despite its medium cost status, Permai Ria is strategically located on a premium area surrounded by tourists attractions, a great view of the beach and is also close to the town area. In terms of investment, capital gain would be unlikely due to the age of the building. However, units in Permai Ria can be easily rented out to students, tourists, working professionals and families who would like to get away from the hustle-and-bustle of the city after working hours are over. Do note though that every unit only comes with one car park slot, which could be inconvenient for those who need to transit to the town area frequently. Also, as the 2009 December tsunami has demonstrated, the Tanjung Bungah beach can also become a deadly area to be in should the tremors of the tsunami hit Penang shores again.
