Location of Vistaria Condominium
Vistaria Condominium is 18.1 km to Komtar. By Penang standard, it is very far from the city centre. If you work in the city, you better consider well if you wish to buy here. If you work in the Bayan Lepas Industrial Zone, it is not that far, but still, compared to other places, it is quite remote. On the other hand, if you are looking for a place near to greenery and nature, and you want it to be on the south side of the island, then this place is for you.
Public Transport at Vistaria Condominium
Rapid Penang Bus No. 302, 305 and 308 pass through Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim. If you live at Vistaria Condo, it is is unlikely that you will depend on public transport, but if you do, then you have a very long walk to the nearest bus stop every day.
Traffic along Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim is heaviest between the Sungai Ara village and the junction of Jalan Kenari. The junction of Jalan Bayan and Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim is a source of congestion, especially during rush hour, when traffic queues can slow traffic to a crawl.
