Best place to stay if work location is Kulim Hi Tech Park

Hi,

What will be best place to stay for family if the work location is Kulim Hi Tech Park. I am ready to compromise on travel time.

Butterworth will be a good solution ?

What about Penang Island?

Thank you in advance for your time!!

Butterworth is fine. Penang Island is always the choice of most expatriates. It depends whether you can put up with at least 1 hr each way per day. People who commute to Kulim tend to live near the first bridge. The Light housing is popular. But the main expat community is north of George Town. An area I like and would live in if I had a car is Karpal Singh Drive. If schooling is required look around Pearl City (Simpang Ampat (which may be of interest anyway)
