TOP PICKS BY BUYER GOAL · For Foreign Buyers
Start with the life you want to build in Penang: healthcare access, a school routine, food and shopping, and a comfortable home base when family visits. Then check whether the particular property and title are eligible for your purchase.

Compare George Town / Gurney for city healthcare and convenience, the north coast for school routes and coastal living, and Queensbay for retail and south-island access. Lifestyle suitability is separate from foreign-purchase eligibility.
Island Hospital is at 308 Macalister Road in George Town. Compare actual access to your chosen hospital, follow-up appointments, groceries and dining from the project entrance. Test the weekday route and arrival arrangements rather than relying on a straight-line distance.
Uplands’ campus is on Jalan Sungai Satu in Batu Ferringhi. North-coast options may be useful to compare, but test the school run and confirm admissions directly. Larger bedroom layouts can help when family visits or a study room is needed.
Check current foreign-buyer thresholds, state consent, title restrictions, financing and applicable taxes with the appointed solicitor. The recommendations here are lifestyle candidates, not a declaration that every unit is eligible.

| View Cantonment Residence ↗ | Pulau Tikus | Freehold | From RM 2,910,000 · indicative | Confirm matched unit price and size | 2,009–4,540 sq ft | Expected Q2 2029 — owner-updated PropIn Project Library | Own Stay | Historical reference · current quotation not dated | Large family layouts in the city corridor | Reference: Cantonment Residence is a freehold, residential-titled condominium on Cantonment Road by BSG Property and VST Group. Its strongest distinction is space: only 128 residences, four to six homes per floor and eight layouts from 2,009 to 4,540 sq ft. Compared with compact serviced residences and denser new launches around George Town, it is positioned as a lower-density, large-format home with two to four parking bays by layout, three-tier security and a Level 10 leisure deck. The trade-off is its premium RM2.91 million published entry point, so buyers should compare total space, privacy and residential title rather than price alone. | Two to four parking bays depending on layout; selected entitlement/vehicle fit to confirm. | Not publicly disclosed; obtain dated management fee and sinking-fund schedule | 2,009 sq ft · reference | Confirm specification | Pending verification · research 2026-10-07 | 2026-10-07 · source review only |
