Jakarta, a huge and bustling metropolis, located on the most populous island of Java is home to over 11 million people of diverse backgrounds.
Jakarta is officially not a city, but a province with special status as the capital of Indonesia. It is divided into five cities: Jakarta Pusat (Central Jakarta), Jakarta Utara (North Jakarta), Jakarta Barat (West Jakarta), Jakarta Timur (East Jakarta), and Jakarta Selatan (South Jakarta). With its many suburbs, Jakarta has become a megapolitan city with its unique cosmopolitan flavour and diverse culture.
Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia and this megapolitan of Jakarta has charted impressive economic growth, thus attracting a good number of foreigners to live and work here over the years. Similar to other destinations in the world, Jakarta offers a wide range of accommodation styles to suit the needs, lifestyle and budget of every expatriate. However, finding the right fit for you and your family can take a lot of time and effort, and finding the right home is a critical part of making your relocation a success.
But even with a massive of some 28 million people packed into this megapolitan city, finding accommodation in Jakarta is never a complicated process. There is a wide variety of residential types in Jakarta for expatriates to choose from based on their preferences, lifestyle, and budget. Housing complexes, townhouses, services apartments, non-services apartments, detached homes, and villas are widely available, depending on the neighbourhood in which expatriates prefer to settle.
Jakarta boasts a number of family-friendly neighbourhoods. Central Jakarta is a great location for expats who want to get the most out of city living, while South Jakarta has more suburban neighbourhoods with large houses and villas. Some of the areas also offer easy access to some of the city’s international schools, making these locations an ideal choice for expat families.
For expatriates who just arrived in Jakarta, the language barrier might pose a problem in their journey of property search. It’s important that expatriates connect with a reliable local contact like Crown Indonesia who can assist them in finding the right accommodation.
