There are many nice condos in Penang, if you check out Penang Properties they have some good condos to rent. My husband and I used them when we purchases our properties in Penang. On the three occassions that we bought, sold Desmond Cheng was fantastic, never pushed us, recommened severl place, never pushed suggested ideas to us, was more than glad to pick us up at hotels and drive us around to show us what we wanted, he also showed us what was available for our needs, such as shopping, banks, eating places etc,I get nothing from him but would recommend him 100%, very laid back but extremely helpful.
We have a condo in Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah,moving to a Bungalow in the next six month, Enjoy Penang it is a beautiful place with beautiful people.

Susy,

Thanks for the info on Penang. I've heard many good things about the city.

What size place did you rent, ie how many rooms, sq. meters or sq. ft, cost per month, furnished etc.? What does a decent home cost to buy in Penang in a reasonably decent area? Is that a condo in a high rise? I would think rents and purchase prices would be a bit soft - they are everywhere else due to the collapse in the world's economies. Thanks in advance and congrats on your new digs!
