描述

Taman Sri Bayan is an established neighbourhood located in Sungai Ara, Penang. It consists of several different residential developments, whether landed or high rise, as well as commercial shop lots. The myriad of developments are all freehold.

Overall, the homes at Taman Sri Bayan appear to cater to those working or running businesses in the Bayan Lepas industrial zone nearby. There are apartments such as the Desa Bayan Apartment, which caters to those within the middle income range. There are also larger semi-detached homes, which appeal to those who are in the higher-medium to high income range. Evidently, the neighbourhood is also home to some who are much more well-to-do, as seen in the few bungalows around the area.

Amenities within Taman Sri Bayan can be found at the commercial lots, where there are convenience stores, eateries and more. The nearest school is SK Mutiara Perdana, while SK Bayan Lepas is a little drive down Jalan Dato Hashim. Other schools nearby are SJK (C) Chung Shan, SRJK (C) Chong Cheng, SMK Sungai Ara, Seri Relau National School, the Fairview International School and others.

A wider choice of amenities will require a short drive to the town of Bayan Baru, where more commercial hubs house countless conveniences like banks, clinics, restaurants, and the likes. Queensbay Mall is also around 15 minutes’ drive from the neighbourhood while another commercial hub, Bayan Baru is just beside the complex.

Accessibility wise, Taman Sri Bayan is located just off Jalan Dato Ismail Hashim and Jalan Tun Dr. Awang. These 2 roads lead to the town of Bayan Baru as well as connect to Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah. Jalan Permatang Damar Laut is also accessible from Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, leading to Batu Maung and the second Penang bridge. Other key locations north of Bayan Lepas can be accessed via Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah as well as its alternative the Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu Expressway, where the first Penang bridge is about 15 minutes away. Georgetown is about a 30-minute journey from the neighbourhood.
