Description

Taman Seri Bertam is a small neighbourhood situated in Kepala Batas, Penang. One of the most prominent nearby landmarks is Hospital Kepala Batas, which is less than 5 minutes away by car and about 10 minutes away by foot. Thus, it is an ideal location for those working in the medical facility.

Of course, the hospital is not the only infrastructure near to the neighbourhood. Within a 2km radius of Taman Seri Bertam, there are numerous office buildings occupied by governmental bodies and well-known companies. As a result, there is a potentially healthy demand for housing in the vicinity.

Examples include Tenaga Nasional Berhad, the Syariah Lower Court of North Seberang Perai (also known as Mahkamah Rendah Syariah Seberang Perai Utara), Wisma Persekutuan Seberang Perai Utara, Pejabat Jurutera Daerah Jabatan Kerja Raya, the District Education Office for North Seberang Perai, the police headquarters for North Seberang Perai, the Civil Defence Department and the National Population and Family Development Board Malaysia (NPFDB).

From the neighbourhood, residents exit to Jalan Dua. Here, they can connect to other major roads like Jalan Tun Hamdan Sheikh Tahir, Jalan Bertam 1 and Jalan Datuk Haji Ahmad Badawi. Moreover, buses pass by all four roads, making the neighbourhood suitable even for those who do not possess private vehicles.

While Taman Seri Bertam itself is predominantly residential, consisting of double-storey terrace houses, there is no lack of restaurants, food courts and grocery stores nearby. Less than 2km away from the neighbourhood there is also a public school, SMK Datuk Haji Abdul Kadir, named after a local religious figure.

Also, for entertainment and recreation, residents can visit facilities like the nearby 36-hole Penang Golf Resort or the Sunshine Bertam hypermarket and cinema, which opened to the public in 2013.
