Taman Greenview is a matured residential high-end area so one can expect to be surrounded by successful, tasteful neighbors. This neighborhood is also surrounded by beautiful greenery and is popular with nature lovers, especially those who like to observe bird-life. This area is recommended for families working in Georgetown who would like to live in a serene environment that is not too far away from the heart of Penang.However, those living in Taman Greenview should own their own car, bicycle or motorcycle due to the lack of public transportation in this area. Traffic along Green Lane is also infamous for being congested especially at road junctions between Jalan Taman Greenview 1 and Jalan Tembaga due to the traffic lights. However, the Penang Munincipal Council (MPP) announced in May 2011 that an elevated U-turn will be constructed to relieve the traffic jam from Greenview towards Penang Bridge. Said elevation is estimated to be completed by March 2013.
