Bukit Gambier, some times also written as Bukit Gambir, is a newly established neighbourhood in Penang. It is located along Jalan Bukit Gambier, which is the extension of Yeap Chor Ee Road. The Bukit Gambier neighbourhood extends from Island Glades in the north to Sungai Nibong Kecil to the south, and is bordered by USM, Sungai Dua, Taman Pekaka, Lip Sin and Bukit Jambul.

Bukit Gambier is primarily a residential neighbourhood that includes Gambir Heights, Jade View and the affluent neighbourhood of Palace Hill. The area was only established in the early 2000, as demand for residential properties pushed development towards the hill sides. A large part of the campus of Universiti Sains Malaysia in Minden is also located within Bukit Gambier.

Getting there

Rapid Penang Bus 301 and 302 pass through Jalan Bukit Gambir.
