Taman Molek Rent Prices in Johor Bahru 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
With a median price of RM28/m² monthly, Taman Molek firmly earns its BOUGIE status by offering a polished alternative to the chaotic city center. While the m² stats show entry-level units at RM10/m², the real draw is the high-end condo market where prices hit RM42/m² for Japanese-standard maintenance and security. It remains a top-tier neighborhood analysis pick because the investment outlook is buoyed by a consistent expat tenant pool who want to be near the EDL and Ponderosa Golf Club.
The Vibe:Think of this as Johor Bahru’s corporate playground, dominated by more banks than you’ll ever need and a serious white-collar crowd. The streets are wider and the landscaping is cleaner than most of JB, but the lunch-hour traffic around the Jalan Molek 1/10 commercial blocks is a genuine test of patience. You’re coming here for the high-end Japanese restaurants and the professional atmosphere, not for peace and quiet during office hours.
The median rent price in Taman Molek, Johor Bahru is RM28 per m² per month, 29% above the Johor Bahru city average of RM21.75/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of January 2026.

Locals Ask
Is the parking situation as bad as people say?
Worse; if your rental doesn't come with a designated bay, you'll be circling the commercial blocks for twenty minutes every afternoon.
Why is there such a huge range in the m² stats?
The RM10/m² units are usually the older, tired walk-up flats, while the RM42/m² peak represents luxury high-rises like Molek Pine 4.
Is Taman Molek walkable?
Only within the specific commercial clusters; you'll still need a car for grocery runs or to reach any of the nearby malls.
What kind of neighbors should I expect?
A mix of Singapore-based commuters, Japanese expats, and high-earning professionals who work in the local banking sector.
How is the security in the area?
The gated communities here are some of the strictest in JB, making it a preferred choice for those who prioritize safety over budget.
