About Bodaiju Residences

Bodaiju Residences is listed in our directory as a serviced residence. In Malaysia, serviced residences are generally high-rise homes run by a building management office, and many are built on land zoned for commercial use. This can affect things such as utility tariffs, maintenance arrangements and how banks assess a loan, so it is worth understanding before you commit. The development is in the Medini part of Iskandar Puteri, on the western side of the Johor Bahru district. If you are considering a home here, it helps to compare it with a few other high-rise options in the same area so you have a clear sense of what suits your budget and lifestyle.

Location and neighbourhood

Iskandar Puteri, previously known as Nusajaya, is a newer planned city in the west of the Johor Bahru district. Johor Bahru itself is the state's main city, across the Causeway from Singapore. Medini is one of the planned zones within Iskandar Puteri. The wider area has plenty of residential choice: our directory lists 71 developments in the same area as Bodaiju Residences. Because so many developments sit in this part of Johor, it is worth visiting at different times of day to get a feel for traffic, noise and the general atmosphere around the building before you decide.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you buy, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure, the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund, and which facilities are available to residents. Check the type of title and whether a strata title has been issued for the unit you are interested in, and ask whether the building uses commercial or residential rates for electricity and water. Always view the actual unit rather than relying on photos. Look at its condition, the direction it faces and the view, and ask about any renovation rules. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and confirm the deposit amount, what furniture is included and who pays for repairs. Ask about parking, access cards and visitor rules too, as these vary from building to building.
