Analysis

Ashley Green is situated on the hill slope of Bukit Gambier. It is the rising demand of housing properties in Penang that leads to the development of housing projects along the hillsides. Boon Siew Group, a pioneer developer in Penang since 1950 is in-charge-of this development. Its other residential projects include Casa Permai 2 and Taman Saw Kit in Penang and Damai 86 in Butterworth. Accessibility and convenience are always the factors to be considered when deciding where to live. In Gelugor, the Jelutong Expressway via the ramp near Tesco Penang makes it easy for people living in Ashley Green to travel up North to Georgetown and down south to Bayan Lepas. However, traffic along Jalan Bukit Gambier can be heavy because of the bottleneck at the junction between Yeap Chor Ee Road and Jalan Masid Negeri. Be it driving on your own or taking the public bus, it is unlikely to avoid this traffic jam spot.Although Bukit Gambier has only been in place since early 2000, the area of Ashley Green itself is pretty equipped with the basic amenities. Schools and shopping complex are available in the vicinity. Travel a bit further to Taman Tun Sardon, there are morning markets, evening/night markets and wet markets.There has been 20% increase in price since the Ashley Green project was launched. The increment is quite a good indicator for the potential of this prime residential project. The foreigner-friendly policy attracts foreign investors in Malaysian real estate, particularly those prime areas like Bukit Gambier. Nowadays, foreigners have extended their property interests from Kuala Lumpur, Malacca and Johor to Penang.The state government of Penang is planning big-scale infrastructure including second bridge, Penang Outer Ring Road and Monorail. All these can benefit the local property prices in Penang. The Outer Penang Outer Ring should also help ease and smooth out the traffic at Jalan Bukit Gambier. A compromise may be an increase in noise level nearby.Although playground is the only facility provided, nature lover can enjoy the scene of Bukit Gambier Waterfall being right behind the Mutiara Indah apartments in Bukit Gambier. This 3-storey semi-detached houses are good size for families with children. It comes with a wide array of land size. One can choose the one with large land area for gardening. This is especially good for building the own extension.
