Larkin Property Prices in Johor Bahru 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
At a median of RM4400/m², Larkin sits squarely within THE_GRID—it is a high-utility zone where you pay for logistics rather than luxury. While the RM5800/m² ceiling for newer high-rises feels steep, the investment outlook remains stable due to the perennial demand for rentals near the terminal. It isn't a gentrification play, but rather a solid middle-market choice for those who value transit links over suburban quiet.
The Vibe:Larkin is the functional engine room of Johor Bahru, defined by the constant flow of commuters at Larkin Sentral and the match-day roar from the Tan Sri Dato' Hj Hassan Yunos Stadium. You aren't buying here for scenic views; you're buying because you need a strategic base with immediate access to the city's main bus hub and the EDL. The crowd is a gritty mix of pragmatic daily commuters to Singapore and local families who have occupied the older terrace houses for decades.
The median property price in Larkin, Johor Bahru is RM4,400 per m², 8% below the Johor Bahru city average of RM4775/m². Based on 1 verified sale data points as of January 2026.

Locals Ask
Is the traffic near the stadium actually manageable?
Only if there isn't a football match; otherwise, Jalan Garuda and the surrounding arteries become a total standstill.
Are the older RM2500/m² flats a good investment?
They offer high yields but expect heavy maintenance costs and limited capital appreciation due to the aging facade.
How far is the commute to the Causeway?
It's about 5km, but in peak hour traffic, that short drive can easily take you 30 to 45 minutes.
Is it easy to find tenants here?
Extremely easy, as Larkin is the first choice for workers who rely on cross-border buses to Singapore.
What’s the deal with parking in Larkin?
In the older apartment blocks, it's a nightmare with double-parking being the standard norm.
