描述

Sri Ivory Apartment is a high-density apartment residence located in Farlim, Penang. The single-block complex towers at 25 storeys high, housing a whopping 600 units. Completed in 2004, the apartment displays signs of wear from being battered by the weather.

All units in the leasehold Sri Ivory Apartment are sized at 700 sf with a standard layout of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Just snug to fit a small family of 3 to 4 members. Prices of units for sale on the market begin from RM228,000, which could be much higher than its initial price. Rental is also quite high compared to other lower density apartment complexes or even older condominiums in other nearby towns, at RM700 per month.

Sri Ivory Apartment as it would appear, was established to provide affordable and liveable housing geared for those in the middle income sector. There are a few facilities offered to residents, such as a basketball court, community hall, children’s playground, and even a landscaped garden. Apart from that, there is also a multi-storey covered parking lot for residents to utilise. The property also has a guarded entrance.

Though there is a commercial shop office right in front of Sri Ivory Apartment, there are not many amenities around it, with only an eatery or two and a sundry shop, as well as a gym operating within. More conveniences will take about a 5-minute walk down Lengkok Angsana where the property is situated, to some shop lots across the Thean Teik Highway. A Giant hypermarket and the All Seasons Place commercial plus a residential development is also located further up the Thean Teik Highway, a little over 5 minutes’ drive from Sri Ivory Apartment.

There are no schools within walking distance of Sri Ivory Apartment, with the nearest ones being in the Greenlane area, such as SMK Georgetown, SK Batu Lanchang, SMJK Chung Hwa Confucian, Convent Greenlane, SMK Haji Zainul Abidin, and SK Jalan Hamilton all within 10 minutes’ drive of the property. Others a little further away include the Penang Free School, SMJK Heng Ee, SRJK (C) Sum Sum and more in the Jelutong area. The nearest hospital is the Lam Wah Ee Hospital, also about a 10-minute drive from the residence.
