Location
Mar Vista is 11 km from Magazine Circus. It is a little on the far side for people working in George Town, as you have to work your way through crowded roads every rush hour. And it's definitely far if you're working in Bayan Lepas. It's a good place to retire or work from home, as the view is fantastic.
Public Transport
Rapid Penang Bus 101 pass along Jalan Tanjung Bungah. However the apartment is quite a distance from the main road.
Amenities
Most amenities are not within the immediate vicinity. The nearest petrol station is along Jalan Tanjung Bungah. The nearest school is Dalat International School. The nearest market is the Tanjung Bungah Market. The nearest shopping centres include Tesco Tanjung Pinang, Straits Quay and Island Plaza. The nearest hospital is Penang Adventist Hospital.
Traffic
Traffic along Jalan Tanjung Bungah is heavy but congestion has been reduced since parts of the road were widened.
