Jalan Zainal Abidin in Georgetown, Penang, begins with Jalan Burma on one end and Jalan Macalister on the other. Properties along the road include an apartment complex and several shops and offices. The commercial properties encompass some pre-war shophouses as well as shop offices built in the late 20th century, most of which are two storeys in height. There are also several taller buildings which have been rebuilt over the older, existing shop units. The apartment complex, known as PPR Taman Manggis, on the other hand, is an affordable housing development towering at 18 storeys tall. Amenities along Jalan Zainal Abidin include a few eateries, mostly catering to those who work in the shop offices there. Other amenities such as banks, convenience stores and supermarkets can be found in the nearby shopping malls, namely Penang Times Square, Prangin Mall and Komtar Walk. Jalan Zainal Abidin is highly accessible, being just minutes from the Georgetown city centre and connected to the major roads of Jalan Burma and Jalan Macalister. A short drive down either road will link to Pengkalan Weld and the Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu Expressway as well as other roads such as Jalan Magazine, Jalan Dr. Lim Chwee Leong.
