Johor Bahru — projects ranked by how far they are from the checkpoint
76 projects in Johor are documented here. This page is not ordered by administrative district — it is ordered by how you actually get across the checkpoint: within walking distance, a five to ten minute drive, or further out.
Distances are measured along the real route to the RTS Bukit Chagar station site or the JB CIQ checkpoint, not as the crow flies; each project page states how its figure was measured. The district grouping still exists — it is in the area index further down.
Tell me your budget and your nationality and I will send you a shortlist of three to five.

Iskandar Puteri, Medini, Puteri Harbour and Forest City. They cross through the Tuas Second Link — a different commute, so they get their own band.

The distance bands are there to help you decide; the district list is there so you can find a place by the name you already know. Both exist, over the same set of projects.
About buying in Johor Bahru
The walkable area is concentrated in Bukit Chagar, JB City Centre (JBCC), Bukit Senyum, Tanjung Puteri and Kebun Teh. That is exactly what the first band on this page covers, and it currently holds 15 documented projects. Every project page gives the measured walking route to the RTS station site or the CIQ, and says how that figure was measured.
Off-peak, and that has to be said plainly — during the Johor Bahru crossing peak the same stretch of road takes three to four times as long. The bands use the off-peak drive, and the peak situation is written on each project page, because it depends on which day and what time you leave and no single number covers it.
Because it does not use the same crossing. Iskandar Puteri, Medini and Forest City reach Singapore through the Tuas Second Link, not the Causeway CIQ. Measuring them by distance to the Causeway gives you the wrong answer — for anyone working in western Singapore, that side is actually closer. So it gets its own band.
