1Maintenance fees
What it costs to keep a home here each month
12 projects here state a fee per sq ft: from RM0.66 at Arden Serviced Residence to RM0.36 at Dover, Causewayz Square. Across the portal, the middle project with a known sinking fund pays RM0.40 psf.
What this means for buyers
Maintenance is paid every month for as long as you own the unit, on top of the loan. For an 800 sq ft unit, RM0.40 psf is RM320 a month; RM1.00 psf is RM800. City-centre towers with hotel-style services sit at the top; suburban family condos cluster around RM0.30 to RM0.45.
Check what the figure includes: a "+10% sinking fund" adds a tenth on top (we added it for the ranking). Figures given before handover are the developer's estimates and can change.

2Schools & hospitals
Schools and hospitals within reach
In Johor Bahru the middle project has 0 schools and 0 hospitals within a 15-minute walk, and 6 hospitals within a 10-minute drive (3 projects measured).
What this means for buyers
A 15-minute walk is about 1.2 km on real paths, not a circle on the map. City areas often have several schools within walking distance; newer suburbs may have none, so plan for driving. For families, a school nearby is not a guaranteed place: ask the school about intake before you buy.
These counts come from OpenStreetMap, a community map. Some schools and clinics are missing or mislabelled, so treat the numbers as a guide and look at the map before deciding.

3Crime
Recorded crime in Johor, by police district
Recorded crime in Johor rose 19.5% in 2023 to 5,330 cases; about 77% were property crime.
Police districts are not the same as the areas on this site, and PDRM does not publish district boundaries, so the whole state is shown.
What this means for buyers
Bigger, busier districts record more crime simply because more people live, work and shop there, so compare a district with itself over time rather than with a smaller one. Most recorded crime is property crime: break-ins, vehicle theft and other theft. How well a building is guarded matters too, and district totals cannot show that.

| Police district | Crimes 2023 | Violent | Property | Change from 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batu Pahat | 373 | 88 | 285 | +18.8% |
| Iskandar Puteri | 571 | 123 | 448 | +31.0% |

4Local taxes
What are assessment tax and quit rent?
Councils charge a percentage of each home's annual value: 4% for homes in Kuala Lumpur, 3% for condos in Petaling Jaya, 5.5% for condos on Penang Island. Johor Bahru uses a different base, so its rate is not comparable.
| Council | Rate | Of | Applies to | In force |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBJB Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru | 0.08% | improved value (land + building) | Housing and others | not stated |
| MBJB Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru | 0.22% | improved value (land + building) | Serviced apartment | not stated |
Revaluations
- MBJB: Values are assessed at 1 July 2020 levels; the start date is not stated on the MBJB site. source
What this means for buyers
Assessment tax (cukai taksiran, "cukai pintu") goes to the city or municipal council. Most councils charge a percentage of the home's annual value, the yearly rent the council estimates it could fetch: a home valued at RM18,000 a year at 4% pays RM720 a year (MBSJ's own example). Quit rent (cukai tanah, or cukai petak for strata units) goes to the state land office.
Both go up when the council or state revalues. Selangor councils moved to new valuation lists from 1 January 2025 with increases capped at 25%; serviced apartments usually pay a higher rate than ordinary condos.

5Malls
How full are the shopping malls?
Shopping malls in Johor were 74.2% let in H1 2026, against 73.7% a year earlier.
What this means for buyers
A busy mall nearby is a daily convenience and supports rents. Low occupancy and a lot of new mall space coming in the same state mean some malls will struggle; a struggling mall next door is not the selling point it looks like in a brochure.

| State | H1 2025 | H1 2026 | Space now (sq m) | Coming (sq m) | Planned (sq m) |

6Green building
Which projects are green-certified?
5 projects here appear on the GBI or GreenRE lists under the same name and developer.
| Project | Certifier | Rating | Stage | Dates |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arden Serviced Residence | GBI | Certified | Provisional | 06 Oct 2025 – 05 Oct 2028 |
| Amberwood Resort Residences @ Johor Bahru | GreenRE | Silver | Provisional | 2026-03-01 |
| GEN RISE | GreenRE | Silver | Provisional | 2025-02-18 |
| GEN SPHERE | GreenRE | Silver | Provisional | 2025-06-30 |
| M Grand Minori | GreenRE | Bronze | Provisional | 2026-02-10 |
What this means for buyers
A GBI or GreenRE rating is an independent green-building certificate. On the GBI list, a provisional rating comes from a Design Assessment and the final one from a Completion & Verification Assessment, so ask the developer which stage the project has reached. A project missing from this list may simply not have applied.
Sources: Green Building Index certified-projects directory (gallery.greenbuildingindex.org, list as of 30 Sep 2026) and GreenRE project list (greenre.org), both downloaded 21 Oct 2026. A project is listed only when the certifier's row has the same project name and the same developer; GBI dates are the certificate's validity, GreenRE dates the award date. 8 more possible matches were left out because the developer company, phase or tower in the certifier's row differs from ours.
