Taman Tambun Jaya, situated in Bukit Tambun, Simpang Ampat, is a neighbourhood that consists of both residential and commercial properties. Residential properties here comprise double-storey terrace houses and a freehold low-cost 5-storey flat, while commercial properties include 1- and 2-storey shop lots mostly occupied by car service workshops and eateries. The neighbourhood is bordered by a main road, Jalan Bukit Tambun, and a smaller road, Jalan Tambun Jaya. The wide Jalan Bukit Tambun has a long planter in the middle, where cars often park, taking up a part of the road and potentially causing congestion in the area. Along both roads, residents will be able to find amenities like food and beverage outlets, mini marts, beauty parlours, shops and petrol stations. There is even a wet market less than 1km away in Taman Tambun Indah, the neighbourhood located across Jalan Bukit Tambun. Schools are aplenty in the area, ranging from public schools like SRJK (C) Keng Koon, SJK (T) Permatang Tinggi, SMK Mutiara Impian, SK Bukit Tambun, SK Taman Merak, SMK Bandar Tasek Mutiara and SMK Simpang Empat, to private schools and institutions like kindergartens, GEMS International School in Pearl City and the Penang International Dental College in Butterworth. Accessibility-wise, Taman Tambun Jaya has an advantageous position about 12km away from the Second Penang Bridge, which will take about 15 minutes to reach with uncongested traffic. It is slightly further to the Penang Bridge – about 16km. Also, the North-South Expressway (NSE) and the trunk road, Jalan Permatang Tinggi, are approximately 2km from the neighbourhood, allowing residents to travel to other towns and states with ease.
