Taman Universiti, Skudai

• 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.

Among this round's PropertyGuru commercial listings, 14 factories (after removing duplicates) had Taman Universiti addresses — all terrace-type and small units under 5,000 sq ft, asking RM4,000 – 6,500. Asking prices; sizes as stated in the listings.

Now you have seen the rents — which one are you?

Renting, letting or selling in Taman Universiti, Skudai — come straight to me for any of the three.

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. Taman Universiti is about 32 minutes by car to the JB CIQ (in the traffic when queried on the afternoon of 19 October). AEON Taman Universiti and UTM are here, and residential listings were mostly single-storey terraces.

• Landed is mostly single-storey terraces.
• UTM is about five minutes away by car, and rooms let inside terraces turn up in the listings.
• The area has small factories, with a fair number of terrace-factory listings.
• The JB CIQ is quicker to reach than the Second Link (queried the afternoon of 19 October: about 32 minutes against about 40).

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 Taman Universiti. Applying a district-wide ratio to a single neighbourhood would be wrong, so this is left blank until sub-district data can be found.

Everything above is public. What actually decides it — what is vacant now, what it really signs at, what yours would sell for today — is not public. Ask me.

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.
