Johor Bahru (JB) has been developing quickly, with many modern shopping centers and plenty of good food options available throughout the city. The general vibe is more relaxed compared to neighboring Singapore, which many visitors find appealing. There are also reasonably priced housing options in peaceful communities such as Leisure Farm and Bayou Creek, making it suitable for extended stays.

However, while JB shows a lot of potential, it struggles with follow-through on major projects. There are frequent reports of failed or underused developments, like Forest City, and many public transport projects that never materialize. A big concern is the local healthcare systemโ€”some visitors shared serious negative experiences, raising questions about quality and reliability.

Despite its flaws, JB offers plenty of positives that still make it a rewarding place to live or visit for extended time. The relatively low cost of living and laid-back pace of life continue to attract people, but anyone considering long-term relocation should be aware of the limitations, especially in healthcare and infrastructure.

There are some lovely communities to base yourself from with very reasonable rents. Check out Leisure Farm, Bayou Creek.

JB is developing nicely. Lot of ultra modern shopping centers, good food everywhere, ppl are more chill than in SGP.
JB however can't seem to go the distance. Shops and new fashipnable areas are empty. Project disasters like the ghost Forest City. Frequently cancelled public transport projects. Healthcare is still questionable. (Lost 2 rellies to poor/wrong treatment in JB. One of them just recently.)
If JB just pulled off what they intend to do, it would be a great place.
Still love visiting JB and could stay for extended time. The upsides are bigger than the downsides.

Johor is a dirty, ugly city across the causeway from northern Singapore. It's a very busy crossing both ways. I've been here many times to shop with my wife and MIL but have nothing to recommend. It was at least a cheap place to get glasses. Last time I went the 1MDB project had been launched to great fanfare in Johor. It was supposed to the the project that would unseat Singapore. It turned out to be a big scam and lots of people lost money, especially the Malay taxpayers.
Other parts of Malaysia are fantastic (Borneo, Penang, KK, KL). Johor is kind of lousy. Got sick a few times eating there.

    No members are here right now. If you are, add it as a trip and you'll show up here!



    Members who have been here


    Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.





    The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
