Stay in Jakarta
Living in Jakarta is relatively safe and convenient for expatriates. The city is lively, friendly, and offers plenty of options to suit different lifestyles. Especially in central areas, expats will find that moving around the city—even late at night—is generally safe, particularly in business and residential districts.
While many locals often choose boarding houses (kos-kosan) for practicality, apartments are the preferred choice for expatriates. There are several reasons why apartments stand out:
Privacy & Comfort: Apartments offer more personal space, often including a bedroom, living room, and kitchen, allowing expats to cook and live more independently.
Complete Facilities: Most modern apartments in Jakarta come with additional amenities such as laundry services, restaurants or cafés, grocery shops, gyms, pools, and even saunas—all within walking distance.
Ease of Transportation: Apartments are usually located in strategic areas, making it easy to book taxis or online ride-hailing services like Grab, Gojek, or Maxim directly from mobile apps.
Proximity to Offices: In central Jakarta, standalone houses are limited due to dense development. Apartments are often just steps away from office buildings, greatly reducing commute time.
Safety & Security: Living in an apartment adds an extra layer of safety. Many buildings require key-card or resident-only access to reach each floor, and 24/7 security staff are standard.
