Grand View offers convenient access to other parts of town by roads such as Persiaran Gurney, Jalan Bagan Jermal, Jalan Mount Erskine, Kelawei Road, and not to mention the network of lanes and smaller roads within the region. However, this strategic location has a negative side to it as traffic is generally heavy around the area, given that Jalan Tanjung Tokong is a road frequented by many Penangites. Peak hours in the morning and evening, weekends and public holidays are also times when traffic may come to a standstill.
Hence, Grand View condominium is a property that may not be suitable for everyone. Those who have to commute to Bayan Lepas or the mainland on a daily basis may find it draining to go through the congestion every day, while expatriates or retirees may enjoy the convenience of being close to Gurney Drive and Batu Ferringhi.
