Mawar Apartment is a 4-storey walk-up apartment with a freehold tenure, built in an enclave along Jalan Bukit Kecil 1, Sungai Nibong in the mid-90s. The apartment’s 60 units all come with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and have a built-up area of 850 sf, making it suitable for singles, couples and smaller families. Despite the apartment’s age, it has aged gracefully, with a relatively well-maintained and clean environment. Its 3 blocks are arranged around a landscaped garden, which offers a tranquil oasis away from the busy roads around the apartment. Facilities are minimal – car park lots and 24-hour security – but the Mawar Apartment makes up for this fact to some extent with its convenient location near to urban facilities and amenities. For example, it only takes 5 minutes on foot to reach Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, where there are eateries, pharmacies, banks, petrol stations and even a police station. As the road is also a main route in Penang, many buses and cabs also pass by the area. Driving to Queensbay Mall takes less than 10 minutes, giving the Mawar Apartment’s residents access to even more cafes, restaurants, beauty centres, a cinema and other retail outlets and offices. The Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway is also very near to the Mawar Apartment, allowing residents to travel easily to other places in Penang, from George Town in the northeast all the way to Batu Maung in the southeast of the island. Nearby schools include the SJK (C) Kwang Hwa, SMK Sungai Nibong, SRK Sungai Nibong, SRJK (C) Shih Chung and SJK (C) Min Sin. For parents with younger children, the D’Monte Child Care and Development Centre and a Kumon centre are a 5-minute walk away, and there is a nearby park – the Taman Sri Nibong Park – for jogging, walks and games.
