BJ Court, Bukit Jambul, Penang

Real Estate Review: BJ Court, Bukit Jambul

BJ Court is a single block of 33 storey apartment in Bukit Jambul, Penang. Completed in 1998, it is still presently the tallest building on the southern half of Penang Island. It is located adjacent to Bukit Jambul Complex shopping mall. Each 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment has a size of 750 square feet (or 700 square feet of built-up area).

What I like about BJ Court is the panoramic view. What I don't like about it is the high density and congestion.

Facilities

Facilities include security services, covering parking, a swimming pool, jacuzzi, squash court and gymnasium.

Location

BJ Court is 13.7 km from Magazine Circus making it quite a distance from the city centre. However, using the coastal expressway, you can easily make the distance speedily. It is ideal for people working in the Bayan Lepas area. It's location next to Bukit Jambul Complex also mean it is easy to get food and shopping. However, the location will be noisy every night.
