Taman Dedap is an established, freehold mixed development located in Butterworth on the Penang Mainland. Positioned right off Jalan Ong Yi How and nestled closely to the highly active Raja Uda and Bagan Ajam districts, it is a mature neighborhood that features a balanced mix of residential landed homes and busy commercial shop offices.
The area is heavily favored by locals because it sits within a high-growth zone while maintaining a peaceful neighborhood feel, famously located near key institutions like Butterworth Chung Ling High School.

- Market Character: These homes are highly sought after because they offer quiet, landed living while being literal minutes away from Butterworth's main commercial strips. Subsale prices fluctuate depending on renovations, with premium corner units commanding values upward of RM 1.1 million.

The commercial segment comprises 2-storey and 3-storey terrace shop offices that cater to a steady, built-in customer base from the surrounding residential estates.

- Rental Market: Ground floors command robust monthly rates between RM 2,000 and RM 2,500 due to high visibility. Upper floors offer highly accessible entry points for businesses, renting out between RM 1,000 and RM 1,500 per month.
