Mirroring Queenstown in Singapore, which was one of the earliest housing estates and is known for its mix of old-world charm and new developments, Larkin in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, offers a similar blend of tradition and modernity. Larkin is primarily a transport hub, home to Larkin Sentral, a terminal for long-distance buses, as well as local ones, connecting the area with the rest of Malaysia and Singapore. Surrounding the terminal is a variety of old shophouses and eateries offering local Malaysian cuisine. Larkin also encompasses residential areas featuring older apartment blocks, newer condominiums, and landed properties, reflecting a diverse socio-economic community. Larkin Stadium, home to the Johor Darul Ta'zim Football Club, is a focal point for sports and community activities. Additionally, Larkin has a number of educational institutions and places of worship, adding to its community-oriented atmosphere.
