KSL City & Taman Century Living Guide
KSL City — anchored by KSL City Mall with 300+ retail outlets — is one of Johor Bahru’s busiest lifestyle hubs, and its walkability is a daily-convenience moat for nearby residential developments such as Maxim The Address, which sits roughly 900 m away in adjacent Taman Pelangi. For tenants and owners, walk-to-mall living drives occupancy and retention. Here’s what the area offers.
What’s here
- KSL City Mall — 300+ shops, supermarkets, dining, cinema and a hotel; one of JB’s highest-footfall malls.
- Taman Century & Taman Pelangi — mature, established neighbourhoods with decades of built amenities.
- Daily essentials — banks, clinics, schools and food all within easy reach.
- Connectivity — quick access to JB city, the CIQ/RTS corridor and highways.
Why walk-to-mall matters for property
Proximity to a major mall like KSL is a genuine rental advantage: tenants pay for not needing a car for daily life, and occupancy stays high. That’s a core reason Maxim The Address — ~900 m from KSL — pairs cross-border demand with daily convenience. See the location guide and investment case.
Lifestyle fit
The KSL/Taman Century/Taman Pelangi cluster suits Singapore-based singles, couples and families who want city convenience without city-centre prices — and more space per dollar than across the Causeway (see JB vs renting in Singapore).
