STREET ATLAS

Choose a district.
Then read its streets.

The Core Zone contains 1,894 historic buildings arranged along four main streets and their cross streets. These six districts make the city easier to explore; they are property-search routes, not new official planning boundaries.

Official material names 13 main streets in the Core Zone. This atlas starts with the streets buyers compare most often and grows as better property information becomes available.

CORE ZONE

Use this to find a street. Confirm the exact property against the official boundary map.

STREET BY STREET

Even neighbouring streets can work very differently.

Core Zone

Beach Street / Lebuh Pantai

A former trading spine where frontage, loading, upper-floor access and weekday activity deserve close attention.

Core Zone

Armenian & Acheh Streets

A heavily visited cultural quarter where daytime footfall, neighbours, servicing and visitor pressure all shape the building.

Core + Buffer

Chulia Street & Love Lane

A long, changing corridor where evening activity, accommodation uses, traffic and building condition vary block by block.

Buffer Zone

Muntri & Campbell Streets

Two distinct streets with intact façades, mixed daily uses and a quieter decision around privacy, access and restoration depth.
