1. You can get everything that the city can offer here

Horizon Hills is easily the most strategic location in Iskandar Puteri. It is accessible via four major highways such as the North-South Highway, Coastal Highway, Malaysia-Tuas Second Link Highway and Perling-Pasir Gudang Highway.

3. You get to live in one of the cleanest, healthiest and greenest townships around
55,000 trees, comprising 30 different species of jungle/forest trees was planted throughout the development.
With the rise of public awareness about green living and increasing environment conservation by large corporations, it’s refreshing to find a developer that puts the health of mother nature first and foremost.
Horizon Hills is, without a doubt, the greenest township in Iskandar Puteri. Although it is designed as a comprehensive 1200-acre master-planned township, only 40% of the land was used for development. The remaining 60% was dedicated to maintaining its greeneries and facilities.
Some of these efforts include planting 55,000 trees, comprising 30 different species of jungle/forest trees throughout the development. Your lungs will definitely thank you! If that’s not enough, the developer has also made the effort to preserve a secondary forest by relocating and replanting the greeneries to a more sustainable location.
Horizon Hills has also successfully cultivated richer ecological and natural biodiversity by paying equal attention to waterways for cooler environments. To make it more exciting, each neighbourhood precinct is carefully maintained and enhanced with planted landscapes, comprising a careful mix of hardscape and softscape for sustainability.
4. You get the chance to broaden your horizon and learn about other cultures
The homes in Horizon Hills are quite popular among foreign buyers and investors alike. While the general public has the perception that Johor’s real estate market is driven by foreign investments from China and Singapore, Horizon Hills has proven that a well-planned development is more than capable of attracting a wide range of nationalities.
There are currently over 40 nationalities such as Indonesians, Indians, Japanese, South Koreans, Australians, Middle Easterners, Danish, Norwegians, Britons and Germans residing here. Living within a culturally diverse community gives you the chance to enhance your worldview and improve your understanding of cultures that are different to yours.
