Why this address
Four things buyers weigh at Ferringhi Residence
A quiet, low-density address near the Batu Ferringhi beachfront. Here is the case, and the catch.
Beach and resort strip close by
StarProperty puts Batu Ferringhi Beach and the Holiday Inn Resort about 1 km away, and the Batu Ferringhi market is about 800 m away.
Near an international school
The International School of Penang (Uplands) is roughly 500–700 m away, depending on the source.
Low-rise and gated
Twenty 5-storey blocks of 3+1-bedroom units, with two car park bays per unit and resort-style grounds including an infinity pool and clubhouse.
What to weigh: distance from town
Gurney Drive is about 13 km and the airport about 34–35 km away, and the coastal road is the main route. The later Ferringhi Residence 2 towers add supply nearby.

Is it for you?
Which kind of buyer are you?
The same building suits different people for different reasons. Pick the line that sounds like you.
🏠 Living here yourself
Layouts here run from about 1,510 to 1,752 sq ft. Ask me which stacks get the better view and the least afternoon sun; that changes the price more than the floor.
💰 Buying to rent out
Compare the recorded rents in "The price numbers" above with the instalment on your loan. Smaller layouts usually rent faster; larger ones hold tenants longer.
👨👩👧 Family with children
Check the school and clinic distances in the location section, the number of car parks per unit and how busy the lifts are at 7.30 am.
✈️ Buying from overseas
Foreigners can only buy above the state minimum price and pay 8% stamp duty from 2026. Ask me which units here qualify before you shortlist.
Straight talk
What I will not hide from you
Every project has trade-offs. These are the ones I would want to know before paying a deposit.
- ⚠️ A newer project, so many owners are renting out at the same time. Expect competition for tenants for the first few years.
- ⚠️ Landed homes: check the land title, the facing, and whether the house has had extensions that need approved plans.
- ⚠️ Asking prices are not sale prices. Compare any offer with the recorded transacted price per sq ft above before you commit.

I work with local families, investors and buyers from Singapore and overseas. If a project is not right for what you need, I will say so; that is usually worth more than the brochure.
