Location
Villa Sri Kenanga is 9.4 km from Magazine Circus. It is about mid way between the north and south part of the island. Using the Jelutong Expressway, you can reach the city in 15 minutes if there is no traffic jam. Due to its proximity to the Penang Bridge, Batu Uban suffers from congestion created by traffic heading towards the bridge, particularly on Friday evening, when people rush to get out of Penang for the weekend.
Public Transport
Rapid Penang Bus No. 301, 303 and 304 pass along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah.
Amenities
The nearest schools to Villa Sri Kenanga are Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Gelugor, Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Phor Tay, and three Chinese primary schools, Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Keong Hoe in Sungai Dua; and Kwang Hwa Primary School and Shih Chung (Primary) Branch School in Sungai Nibong. The nearest market from Batu Uban is at Lip Sin. The nearest shopping mall is Queensbay Mall. The nearest hypermarkets are Tesco Extra and Tesco Penang, both about the same distance away. The nearest petrol station from Batu Uban is the Mobil at Pantai Jerejak and the Caltex next to Tesco Penang. There isn't a hospital really nearby. Pantai Hospital and Lam Wah Ee Hospital are both about equal distance away.
Traffic
Villa Sri Kenanga is in Batu Uban, which is like an island surrounded by major roads. Due to the high density and inadequate parking space, many tenants of neighbouring blocks park their vehicles along the roadside outside their condominium. Nevertheless traffic is smooth except during the evening rush hour, when traffic congestion from the Penang Bridge often spill onto the two aforementioned major roads.
