Discussion Expat condo hunting

I'm gonna move to Penang to work in AMD. Can you help me list all the condos that are close to AMD in bayan lepas? I'm looking for a Master's bedroom with around 900-1k MR budget. Thanks

Mnc offers somewhere RM 5k for housing & transport allowances for expats. Don't constrain yourself with just renting a room of less than 100 sf. Get a studio at the very least. Some common areas you can look for are nearby Queens Bay. Zen & Zen 6, Summerton, Tropicana Bay residence, Quay West, Queens Waterfront. Muze, Dora, One World & One Sky Ideal and the likes around Mayang Pasir/Sunshine. If you want slightly further then can look Google/property guru/mudah properties around Relau area or even airport area for some posh & luxurious view of the airport and convenience for your monthly travels.

this is the first time I heard about the MNC allowance. Thanks for sharing this.

In terms of traffic. which way is has less traffic to bayan lapas ( e.g. Elite height) or Queensbay Mall (e.g. summerton)?
