The new-town district of Iskandar Puteri, home to LEGOLAND Malaysia, Mall of Medini and Gleneagles Hospital Medini. Mostly high-rise condos, with landed terraces around the Sunway side. About 18 minutes by car to the Second Link CIQ. This page sets out three things: the rent bands being asked, who actually rents here, and what is around. Every figure says where it came from.
Condo rents
RM1,300 – 6,000
Landed
RM3,500 – 6,500
Shop lots
Ground floor RM1,600 – 5,000
To the checkpoint
~18 min drive
The rents are asking prices, not transacted rents — the two are rarely the same. Sources at the foot of the page.
An asking price is what the owner wants. The signed rent is what gets negotiated.
I keep a current list of what is actually vacant here and what it really signs at.
Drive times assume ordinary traffic. The checkpoint backs up at peak hours and the real figure is very different — ask me which window actually moves.
What these numbers are, before you read them
Every rent below is an asking price from a property portal, not a transacted rent.
Every table states when it was read and how many listings it came from. Thin samples are labelled as such — no averages are computed from a handful of listings.

Each of 14 listings was read to split it by floor. Two clusters: around ION 1, ION 2 and CI Medini (20 × 60 ft shophouses) ground floors ask RM1,600 – 2,000 and first floors RM1,000 – 1,900; on Jalan Bendahara and at Emerald Boulevard 88 in Sunway Iskandar, ground floors ask RM4,800 – 5,000.
Industrial
There is no industrial land in Medini — it is commercial, tourism and residential. For factories, look at the neighbouring SILC industrial park and Gelang Patah.

01 · RENTING
You want to rent here
Send me your budget, bedroom count and move-in date. I will send back what is vacant now and fits — no scrolling through listings.
You have seen the bands above. Price it high and it sits empty, price it low and you lose — I price it off what actually gets signed, then find you the tenant.
This is the part that matters. Read the Johor income figure alone and you will get this wrong — a large share of the people here are paid in Singapore dollars.
The point: the tenants here earn in Singapore dollars, not ringgit
Malaysians who cross to work each day
Around 400,000
Across both the Causeway and the Second Link; figure reported in 2023
What they typically earn
SGD 1,900 – 3,000
About RM6,100 – 9,600 at the exchange rate at the time of the report
So the official figure — a median household income of RM8,977 for Johor Bahru district — covers every household in the district, including the large share working entirely on the Malaysian side: one person's Singapore salary is close to the median for a whole household across the district. Medini is about 18 minutes by car to the Second Link CIQ (from Mall of Medini, in the traffic when queried on the afternoon of 19 October). This round the condo listings were mostly two-bedrooms at 1Medini and Medini Signature, and the landed mostly two-storey terraces at Sunway's Avira.

How this area actually lives
Mostly condos — 1Medini and Medini Signature had the most listings, with two-bedrooms the largest group.
Landed is mostly two-storey terraces at Avira on the Sunway side.
LEGOLAND Malaysia, Mall of Medini and Gleneagles Hospital Medini are all here.
The crossing used is the Second Link (Tuas on the other side), about 18 minutes by car.
Whether this is a Chinese-majority or a Malay-majority area is not stated here. The statistics department publishes ethnic breakdowns by district, but only down to "Johor Bahru district" — not to Medini. Applying a district-wide ratio to a single neighbourhood would be wrong, so this is left blank until sub-district data can be found.

Will it let once you buy? That comes down to the block, the floor and the layout — projects in one area let at very different speeds. Tell me which one you are looking at.

Sources
Condo and landed rents — PropertyGuru rental listings, searched for "Medini" and "Iskandar Puteri", first 3 pages of residential and first 2 of condos for each, read 19 October 2026; 79 listings after filtering by address and removing duplicates, plus 2 with an obviously wrong price or type (a sale price entered as a monthly rent, for example) that were left out. Asking prices, not transacted rents.
Shop rents — PropertyGuru commercial rentals, read 19 October 2026; filtered by address to this area and each listing read to split it by floor (in areas with many listings only the first dozen or so were read — the shop table shows how many). Asking prices.
Household income — Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), household income by administrative district, 2024 data, Johor Bahru district. Official statistics.
Commuter numbers and Singapore-dollar salaries — Sinar Daily, 28 May 2023. Press report, not official statistics; the ringgit conversion is at the rate quoted at the time.
Mall of Medini to the Second Link CIQ drive time — Google Maps directions, queried around 4 pm on Monday 19 October 2026: about 18 minutes, 13.4 km, in the traffic at that time. Public map.
Coordinates, schools, hospitals and malls — the institutions' Google Maps entries, checked 19 October 2026. Public map.
Due in the next version: Move the rents onto transacted data from the National Property Information Centre (NAPIC/JPPH) rather than asking prices alone; add the ethnic breakdown once sub-district data can be found; confirm the local authority and mukim; split condos by bathroom count listing by listing. Asking rents move, so the figures on this page are re-checked every six months.
