Older and less dense than most in Gurney Drive; living here is middling: reports mention noise and complaints about the management. About 4 min by car to St Christopher's International Primary School.

What Gurney Drive is like

Gurney Drive is the seafront strip of George Town's north-east coast, between Persiaran Gurney on the sea side and Jalan Kelawai inland. The road was laid on the shore in the 1930s and took its present name in 1952, hawkers have traded along it since the early 1970s, and today its towers, two shopping centres and a few temples stand within a few hundred metres of the water.

The waterfront is changing. Gurney Bay, a reclaimed park beside the road, opened its first 11.2 hectares in February 2024 with a promenade, playground and skate park, and a second phase of about 30 hectares is still being built. The hawker centre is due to move there in early 2027, with space planned for 127 hawker stalls. Roadside parking near Gurney Plaza was cut back in 2026 and a multi-storey car park is planned, because parked cars leave a single moving lane at peak times.

Getting around still means the road. The Mutiara Line LRT is planned across the island, with completion targeted for December 2031, but no station has been named at Gurney Drive.
