Taman Ara Damai Tasek Gelugor | Freehold Single-Storey
GSD Land's Taman Ara Damai, outside Tasek Gelugor, is built around one idea: a three-bedroom home with every room on the ground floor, in a township big enough to have its own park, hall and shops.
Here is where that works, where it does not, and whose life it fits. The headline trade-off is simple: lots of space and no stairs, but a long drive from the island.

Why Choose Taman Ara Damai Tasek Gelugor?
- Every room on one level — nothing to climb, now or in thirty years.
- Tall living-room ceiling — about 13.7 ft, which keeps a single-storey house from feeling low.
- Township amenities — lake park, field, outdoor gym, cycling track, multipurpose hall and surau.
- Flexible interiors — internal walls are non-load-bearing.
- Freehold land — individual titles on residential land.
Where Taman Ara Damai Tasek Gelugor Falls Short
- No security — neither gated nor guarded.
- Cement yards — the developer hands over the side and back areas as bare cement, not lawn.
- Distance from the island — 37 km to George Town, 40 km to the airport.
- Permit renewal pending — the current advertising permit expires on 3 November 2026.
Who Taman Ara Damai Tasek Gelugor Suits
Retirees and couples planning to age in place, families caring for a relative with limited mobility, and anyone working in Kepala Batas, Bukit Mertajam, Butterworth or across the border in Kulim. It is a poor fit for buyers who commute daily to the island or who want a gated, guarded compound.
Where the Build Stands
The developer's statutory panel expects completion in November 2026, and its Summaries describe the build as running 24 months from each buyer's SPA. A Type B show unit is open at the site office in Taman Desa Ara. A separate later phase of 157 Type B houses was listed in January 2026 with its own Q3/Q4 2026 target.
Location & Connectivity
The township lies on the road from Tasek Gelugor to Ara Kuda, in Seberang Perai Utara close to the Kedah state line, with the Butterworth-Kulim Expressway to the south.

How the House Is Laid Out
In Type A the living room and Bedroom 1 sit at the front with a bathroom between them, the dining area and kitchen take the middle and back on one side, and Bedrooms 2 and 3 line up on the other side with the second bathroom and a yard at the rear. Type B/C swaps that around: a long living-dining space down one side, Bedrooms 1 and 2 opposite it, and the kitchen, Bedroom 3 and the second bathroom across the back.
