Why buying into Taman Inderawasih at Perai?
Mr Go mentioned that his one of his first selection criteria is the affordability, during early tenure of his employment; able to buy a house first is to consider the financial part. If it is too high, it will burden the cash flow and will be living under stress. After details survey, single storey terrace at Taman Inderawasih is the best choice. The building structure and quality are good. The developer used red bricks to build the house. The area of this house has extra long in size, 20ft x 78ft.
Taman Inderawasih is under a planned township. There are few schools nearby such as Sekolah Kebangsaan Taman Inderawasih, SMK Taman Inderawasih dan Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Chung Hwa 3.
Transportation is very convenience for the residence at Taman Inderawasih. Public transport such as Rapid Bus is easily available. The Rapid bus station is near the Jetty at Chain Ferry. There is multiple roads access connecting each others. Ferry terminal, central bus station and KTM station are all within 5km distance. The two main highways, the North-South Highway just 2km away and the Butterworth Outer Ring Road (BORR) is just a stone throw away.
The other amenities near Taman Inderawasih are such as Mega Mall, Giant Hypermarket, food courts, markets, banks, hospitals are just within 3 km radius.
