Transformation of the area can clearly be seen, as akin to Bangsar South in Kuala Lumpur where low cost flats are allegedly being demolished to make way for high end high rises due to the excellent location.Property in Taman Bukit Gambier will make for a good investment, as demand for property on the island is high, especially with its proximity to the city. Investors will find that prices are continuously increasing as land in Penang becomes more and more scarce.
