The Malaysian Lifestyle

Living in Johor Bahru offers Singaporeans the chance to enjoy more space, lower costs, and a slower pace, just minutes away from home.

Housing is dramatically cheaper, with spacious condos and landed homes costing a fraction of Singapore rents or mortgages. Dining out, groceries, and entertainment are far more affordable, letting you enjoy café culture, weekend seafood feasts, and mall trips without blowing your budget.

Car ownership becomes realistic, thanks to lower road tax and no COE, and everyday conveniences, from petrol to parking, cost much less. Families benefit from a wider choice of international schools and enrichment options at friendlier prices.

With the right planning, JB lets you stretch your dollar, upgrade your lifestyle, and still stay close to Singapore for work, friends, and family.
