Taman Markisah in Bukit Minyak, Penang, is a residential neighbourhood where there are terraces and semi-detached homes which appear to have been around for quite some time. The landed residential properties at Taman Markisah are mostly single storey, with several rows of newer double-storey semi-detached homes. Access to amenities like eateries, convenience stores, a clinic and petrol station will require a short drive from Taman Markisah to the town centre of Bukit Minyak. About 5 minutes away, there are commercial hubs like the Pusat Perniagaan Juru Jaya and an AEON Big hypermarket. There are also a few schools nearby, namely SK Permai Indah and SMK Permai Indah. Taman Markisah is about 20 minutes from the first Penang bridge and the town of Seberang Perai via the North-South Expressway (NSE). Butterworth is also around 30 minutes from Taman Markisah via Jalan Bukit Tengah and Jalan Baru, which then connects to the Butterworth Outer Ring Road.
