Gelugor sits at the gateway of Penang Bridge — minutes from USM, the FIZ, and George Town. This dual-demand market makes it one of the most resilient room rental zones on the island. Room-by-room rental may produce a different gross collection from whole-unit rental. Results depend on the property, room configuration, rent achieved, occupancy and operating expenses.
