The freehold homes of Desa Palma have very much appreciated in value with units on the subsale market going from RM1.3 million. Rental is also on the higher end, at RM1,600 per month.

Shopping malls such as Island Plaza, Gurney Plaza, and Gurney Paragon are also just a few minutes’ drive away, whereas schools are also aplenty nearby, such as SK Jalan Residensi, SMK Westlands, SMK Convent Pulau Tikus and St. Christopher’s International School. Close at hand are also Island Hospital, the Gleneagles Penang Medical Centre, and the Loh Guan Lye Specialist Centre in case of the need for medical attention. Accessibility wise, Desa Palma is just about 5 minutes’ drive to the Georgetown city centre via Jalan Burma or Jalan Macalister, each situated on either end of Leburaya Codrington where the property is located.
