Jalan York is a road in the outer suburb of George Town, which connects Jalan Scotland to Jalan Dato Keramat. It has existed under its present name since the turn of the 20th century, though it was known as St Andrews Road as early as 1804. Along this road you can still see old properties like Hong Chuan Buddhist Institute, Penang State Secretary Residence, Union High School and Masjid Jalan York. Today, Jalan York is a leafy, upscale neighbourhood. To add, this place is relatively quiet. Most of the properties here were only built at the end of the 1960s and 70s - consisting of double-storey terraces and bungalows. Currently, the subsale price for the property starts from RM1,500,000 onwards. Nestled 3.4km away from Magazine Circus, the location is ideal for those who are working in the city. The nearest bus stop is along Dato Keramat Road and Scotland Road. The best part is that the traffic in Jalan York is usually not congested. Apart from that, the nearby areas offer amenities such as petrol stations, grocery markets, as well as Penang General Hospital and Penang State Mosque. Schools in the vicinity are Ramakrishna School, SMKA (L) Al-Mashoor, Methodist Boys Schools, St. Xavier’s Primary School, SRJK (C) Shang Wu and SMK (P) Sri Mutiara. Meanwhile, famous shopping malls like Gurney Plaza, Gurney Paragon and Island Plaza are just about 10 to 15 minutes of drive away. There are plenty of other amenities such as convenience stores, banks, eateries, post office, saloon, wet market and more in Pulau Tikus, Batu Lanchang or Georgetown area, which are just minutes away to drive to.
