- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 เม.ย. 2021
- I lived in Jakarta Indonesia for an entire month and this is how much my apartment cost. The apartment was located in an area called Taman Anggrek in west Jakarta. This residential area is very new, modern, and located next to three malls! There was no shortage of amenities here, join me on my apartment tour and find out if it was truly worth the price I paid.

Comment down below and let me know how much you spend on your apartment or rent every month 👇🏼
In Jakarta, maybe it Will spend 3.000.000-6.000.000 monthly.
Jakarta Barat it Will be cost 3.000.000-4.000.000 monthly. In Jakarta Pusat, it is higher rent around 4.000.000-6.000.000 monthly. Jakarta pusat, around by office building, it Will cost more.
hmm nearly the same for my apartment here in germany 😂 well.. that surprised me 😄 didn't expect that... first I thought the costs of an apartment in jakarta will be quite the same like in bali 😯
@@rubyartamaya2871 oh wow affordable, is that in central jakarta or where?
nevermind you answered it haha
Always love the new videos from you! The one thing that I admired the most besides of the contents in the video, its the cinematography and the image footage you took! It's blown my mind away, especially when you took the footage on Kawah Putih! Supporting you always, bro! Can't wait! Welcome to Indonesia!🇲🇨
Thanks so much Faisal!! Appreicate you always watching and supporting my content 😁🙌🏻
@@alexandwhite you're welcome. So sad that you're leaving Jakarta so soon 😭😭
If I close my eyes, I thought it is the voice of Christ, US-Japanese TH-camr , the boy friend of Sunny Dahe
I get that a lot hahah
Iya mirip❤️
He is her fiance, not boyfriend.
Me too
Iyaaa
as a young adult Indonesian that grew up in Jakarta and studied in Bandung, I am amazed that you're showing me lots of experience that i've never had before LOL..
this pandemic made me stuck hard in my own home, and your vlogs help me to navigate my memory lane and also places that always i wanted to visit but i never had chance to, so i'm really grateful..
very nice cinematic btw, i really look forward on your upcoming videos
thanks so much Kevin!! Thats awesome thanks so much for watching I really appreciate it. My gf was also from Bandung, going to try to visit more of the cities around Java hopefully next month on a new trip
Thanks for the video Alex. Insightful and informative as always. As you have discovered, Jakarta Selatan (south) is where I prefer to stay. As for the monthly cost of USD 667 for an apartment, I always prefer to stay somewhere less expensive in a south Jakartan suburb with a more local setting, which always enables me to meet and get to know my Indonesian neighbours and experience/immerse myself in the culture and daily Jakartan way of life. But that's just me. Aku cinta Jakarta, Indonesia semua dan orang Indonesia buanget. Looking forward to your next video Alex. Cheers.
Your videos makes me miss jakarta, i used to travel to west jakarta every month until the pandemic, thanks for your videos!
I've really been waiting for this apartment tour. Love this.
finally on my youtube channel! 😁 thanks Sumana
Love these videos😀 Reminds us of the Ho Chi Minh City apartment we had😀
ABSOLUTELY 💯% hahah
Lots of malls here in Jakarta. Well try google what city has the most malls😂😂
probably going to be jakarta haha
TOO MANY malls, not enough parks and museums.
@@annetnedelec1313 FYI Jakarta has 47 museums & lot of park as well
@@annetnedelec1313 really? btw jakarta has 47 museum
@@annetnedelec1313 trying to find information first before issuing an argument, SmartAss~
best to stay long term is at "Kost" in Jakarta. choose Kost that located at the most strategic place. you can find it at Airbnb. I used to stay at Thamrin or Kebon Kacang Area, the heart of the Central Jakarta.
Love the video!! Found ur channel couple days ago, now I can't stop watching ur vids 👍🏼 thx for visiting indo bro
Glad to see you back, enjoy Indonesia as long as you wish
thanks so much Noice! Appreciate you watching 😁
The internet connection has been an issue in Jakarta. It depends on the area you live in, probably Central and South Jakarta have better connections than the other districts in Jakarta. Hope it helps
Your explanation in vlog always detailed, so much information..That's why we love it..Keep up the spirit ya 💪☕
thanks for watching Ricky!! 😁🙌🏻
@@alexandwhite All the best wishes for all of us here in your channel bro 🙏☕
Hiya. Great video. Always informative. Congratulations on all your new subscribers. Safe travels. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much Nicky! Appreciate you watching 😁😁
You kept your promise for the apartment tour and not all apartments in Jakarta have bad internet network or bad wifi. I have the experience of living in an apartment that costs 15 million a month, so the apartment you rent is much cheaper, my friend!
Thank you for your vlog, I can't wait to watch your next journey.
👌 👌 👌 💪 💪 💪 💪 🔥 🔥 🔥
yes i'm sure there are better places with much better wifi speeds! Oh wow so about 6million more, is it in a better area of jakarta?
@@alexandwhite I don't know if it is a better place in Jakarta, but it could be. I lived in Thamrin Residences, Central Jakarta, for 3 months!
I thought it was more expensive than your place. L O L!
@@prasatyamevaparazzantha9643 comparison between Thamrin and Slipi..
More expensive than the apartment I live in Sweden lol
actually taman anggrek residence apartment has its own lifestyle mall below the apartments but due to the pandemic, i think they postponed the opening. And about the quick elevator, it is becoz the complex has not many people living in it yet, it is considered as a brand new complex, compares to the neighbor : mediterania garden residences which is much more crowded (with cheaper rental monthy fee, of course) and already stood for at least 15 years, i guess... but if you rent an apartment with the similar facilities (regarding the wifi issue) in central or south jakarta, it would be much more expensive. I dunno how much kristian pay for his apartment.
But in south jakarta such as kuningan, there are lots of exclusive boarding house (low rise building) around 3-4 million rupiahs (all in including laundry), the minus thing is .. they are located in high density complex (more noises, not in the main street). Your window view should be the others' roof houses, LOL. The plus thing is , lots of food vendors and minimarts.
thankyou for coming to indonesia, hope you enjoy it and later can go on other city in indonesia
yes i plan to visit many other cities in indonesia!
I wish you tried taking the Airport Rail Link from Dukuh Atas BNI City Station to Soekarno Hatta Airport. The journey takes 46 minutes. From the airport railway station you can transfer to your terminal of departure via the skytrain.
If you’re planning on going to Yogyakarta next, consider travelling this August in order to be able to try the currently under construction Airport Rail Link to the brand new airport.
Because of you, I can see the entire that buildings. So beautiful place
aaaah I was waiting for this 😍 I was just thinking about when you will upload your next video 😂
haha yeah i'm now finally getting around to all the informational and recap videos on jakarta!
@@alexandwhite Mister I want to ask I live in a landed house and I want to live in an apartment in the future. I will think about whether living in an apartment is a good alternative and what are the drawbacks of living in an apartment please enlightenment and author and explanation Thank you Mister
Great video A.W! That was some massive buildings. haha... Even though there connectivity is great, but...
Me - Being in a big city in KL, well, I'm not in the heart of KL exactly, not a fan of the concrete jungle to be honest. We've this place which is approx. 25 - 35 minutes from KL city center, for about $630/- a month, it's about 2,400 s/f all in, huge balcony, duplex, 3+1 rooms, 3 baths, 2 parking lots even though we only have one car, been here for the last one & a half years, End of June will be the end of our yearly contract. Not sure if we will continue staying here or move to a smaller place, and try saving some money before we are allow to travel again (hopefully) as we're planning to visit Eastern Europe.
Even as a Malaysian myself, I'm very sensitive over the loudness of the mosque (s), as I'm sensitive to loud noises, therefore I do try to stay or find an area where we're far away enough not hearing their 5x prayers. That is probably one of the downside, however, the good sides outweigh all the cons..
Come visit when things return to some 'normal'.
Well, stay safe, stay happy & well. See you in your upcoming videos ☕❤
yes i cant wait to visit malaysia when everything is somewhat back to normal but i'm actually used to the concrete jungle so i don't mind the big city life and living in a big highrise building. Just wish there was better wifi haha
@@alexandwhite Yeah, I think the entire can't wait to get back to whatever new "normal'', at least.
You're a young man, I guess the concrete jungle lifestyle definitely suits you. I can see that 😉.
As for me, I've had my time in the hustle & bustled cities for a good chuck of my life, I need a little 'calmer, & quiet' for a change. 😅
Guess we all go through a different phases in life. Most importantly, we learned a lot from life, as the journey continues.
Happy traveling, stay safe, stay well, keep doing what you're doing. ❤
Cheers from KL.
That is a absolutely beautiful apartment, wonderful city surrounding, big malls in d neighborhood, excellent location.
absolutely amazing city! must visit 👏🏼
@@alexandwhite Yes, been there few times, but were in d 80s. 😁
Yeah, lived in Slipi, west Jkt for a few years. Moved to Kuningan, south Jkt, much more bule-friendly. Taman Anggrek is one of those malls, very huge but nothing interesting to see. Traffic around there sucks. Kudos to you, you gave great info.
Thank you Pe, i had a great time there overall. It had everything I need to live there for one month
Good... I am happy every i heard so many people love indonesia...thank you bro
thank you for watching Lovinda! 😁😁
2:12AM WIB right now watching your wonderful videos and here i am on your last video! keep exploring Indonesia, Alex. maybe next time whenever you come back to Jakarta, you can explore Jabodetabek area as well. stay safe and stay healthy!
yes thanks so much Henrico! Appreciate you watching all my content 😁🙌🏻 I haven't heard of jabodetbek will have to look it up
Loved it Alexander! thank you for sharing your stay in Jakarta! definitely made me want to go there at some point! 😍
awesome! Thanks so much for watching Fatima 😁🙌🏻
It was a pretty comfy place! Thank u for these updates. I’m a bit late to this but Happy Easter. 🐣
Thanks so much for watching Funny Bunny! Happy Easter to you too 😁
Welcome to Jakarta and enjoy your life in Jakarta bro
thanks so much Jojo!
You should to visit Yogyakarta next time. There's a lot of tourism destinations
love your vlog! i am hoping you do a vlog in Central or East Java as well! i think its gonna be more interesting and exciting like jakarta vlog
I will be doing a full trip in that area soon! 🙌🏼 thanks dinda
Wow, almost 45K subscribers n already 45 members, wonderful Alex.
Thanks so much Yasin! 😁🙌🏻
@@alexandwhite 😁
What I like about your vlog is .. you describe all in a detailed explanations.. so as viewers ..we can get informations completely. Thank you for staying in Jakarta.. may God be with you and protect you wherever you are.
thanks so much for watching and supporting Surya!! 😁🙌🏻 Yeah i try to give as much good information as i can to the viewer
I love how great your vids are 😊! TA (taman anggrek) has an ice skating rink, have you tried it? Btw i have another question, do you have a drone? Because you shot those cool high shots of the buildings in the beginning
yeah!! I loved it, me and my gf did a few instagram stories there a few days before we left back to Bali! Yeah I did a few drone shots around Jakarta during my time there too
I love your content and admire what you are doing... I pray I get the opportunity to visit Indonesia and experience this ❤️❤️
its a beautiful place! would highly recommend visiting here when you can!
So true, next time in Jakarta you should stay in South Jakarta where it is greener and has more sidewalks :) love ur videos.
thanks so much for watching Bingah! Yes next time i visit Jakarta i will stay in the south!
why bother? just stay unknown parts to be known
btw , kemayoran apt just great
I'm at Royal Medit (Central Park Apartment).. 2 bedrooms unit rent cost here way cheaper but the room kinda smaller than yours.
But for the external area facility I would say Royal Medit slightly better.
Plus u got two malls connected by tunnel (could be a huge deal as indos loves malls LOL).. idt u do.
Take a video with ur smartphone instead (especially inside malls),, then you'll be fine.. tho it's kinda funny, like u r not allowed to take a video with ur camera but it's okay if u use a cameraphone 😁😁.
Sad knowing that u are about to leave, but still waiting for the next upcoming videos, excited to know the next place or next country (?)
Thanks so much for the insight! Haha yeah it’s a shame they won’t let me film with my camera inside but it’s okay. Got an exciting trip planned for next month though 🙌🏼
Hey man, congrats on the growth. Keep striving
I'll miss you making a video impression about the hotel in Jakarta alex😔
will be back in Jakarta again to make more!
I wanna go to jakarta maybe 😞, cuz i miss the beauty of the city 😊
Its an amazing place to visit!
you're so lucky n famous in Indonesia. congrats!
haha i'm not famous but I appreciate all the support from everyone
@@alexandwhite Mr. I am an Indonesian. I really want to marry an outsider and I really admire that I can be from the United States. The name of Indonesians to outsiders from outside the country Mr. I can know tips on how to approach girls from the country Mister thank you
about turning the key right to unlock the door, im pretty sure its just that apartment building. Anywhere else in Jakarta you turn the key away from the wall to unlock.
Very beautiful Apartment. Thanks for share my friend.
Try the Terminal Train when leaving Jakarta and make a video about it.
I didn't have time because i needed to do the Rapid test but im going back to Jakarta again so will do it next time i go back into the city!
@@alexandwhite You can now do Genose test
Like your videos, they are great 😎
Try the BSD and Bintaro too, it's a bit far from Jakarta, but reachable by public trains and several private shuttle bus 😁
Definitely stay safe yeah
Very explained..bout everything tho..impressive...pretty decent place to stay...am from jakarta habe my own appartement..it is true...getting higher the internet getting slower..prob the towers around or..i dont know..but im i so happy living here...the vibe of a huge city....so busy...
Well, in Jakarta there are various kinds of apartments.. I own 2 apartment rooms in Kalibata and I rent it for about 2-3 millions/month (one of which is studio and the other is a compact 2-bedroom) and the service charge+electricity+water is less than 1mill/month haha but it’s not exactly like yours there since mine a big big complex of apartments and not very exclusive (but not slummy at all😂). But location wise, it’s near to the commuter line and a bit central (though it’s in South Jakarta) and have 2 malls within walking distance.
oh okay your place is more affordable than what I paid haha
Hello Athira
You still have the 2 BR apartment?
Can you inbox me your contact details please
Thank you
make a video of your apartments and show us.
Please back again.. i like your vlog channel.. so many indonesians fans here...
Hi Alex, I was there already 5 times. Always choosing Taman angrek residence. And always trough airbnb. You can find there also studio for less than 380 USD 😃
oh wow i didn't know there was studio's available for that cheap! 😲😲 Thanks Pali! 😁
As a jakarta citizen, i can confirm that this is true heheh 😲. But it depents from what floor is it, the furniture in the apartment, the view, what sites you check from, what the owner wants to set the price, how long we stay, much more.. You checked this from facebook?! Well, i known facebook prices are higher than normal prices haha my experience :>
Love it, salam dari west sumatera, indonesia...
makasihh Zayn!
Hey, thanks for the infos! Im planning to go over there soon and stay at an apartment. I heard that there might be government officers conduct routine checks in your apartments to make sure that you're not an overstayer in the country. My only concern is if they start asking for money to leave you alone. Did you have any such experiences?
Never heard of this before
Subscribed! Nice apartment! Jakarta looks huge! You didn't tell us where you headed next? Suspense?
haha i'm back in bali now planning my next big trip!
mr.next tour mall ASTHA ..THANK YOU
I feel you! Wi-Fi and network in Jakarta is really poor. The LTE signal just plays with your emotions :D
Haha very true!😆
🤣
Nice video😘 thought you re in bali already..be safe on your trip😷
yes I am now planning my next big trip!
You have to try to SKY BAR & RESTAURANT JAKARTA, make the content at the morning and night, but do not attend the afternoon because the weather in Indonesia is hot, sorry for my english not good😭😆
Every beautiful city has its slums so hopefully you won't be surprised to see it in Jakarta
Nice spot - the apartment complex does remind me a lot of Vietnam as you mentioned (D4 in Saigon) 👍🏻
I used to work in D4!! 😂😂
@@alexandwhite Oh, awesome! I spent a lot of time in Saigon back in 2018 and 2019 and usually stayed at Millennium right by the bridge that connects to D1 lol
I have never stayed in an appartement, or rent an appartement.😁. maybe around 3 million per month. It is different from house rent, if the house is generally 3 rooms, the most expensive is 2 million per month depending on the location and type of house..😁 enjoy and live in Indonesia 🙏 ..
I typically stay in apartments when i'm in a big city, I enjoy it more but i know there will always be more difficulties with apartments vs. houses
Really good video! It would be great if you also gave some informations like bars and stuff as well since you mentioned it is most for expats to try 😊
yes i'm going to mention that a little bit in my upcoming cost of living video
WOW...Jakarta is growing so much....when I left..there weren't any high rise apartment....😂😂..nice video Alex...👍..ohh that area Taman Angrek....used to be a crazy area very dark at night..lotta Crossdressers (men wearing cigs & women clothes)..everytime I passed by that area when I was a kid...I was scare..dunno why😂😂..ohh speaking of mosques....what are you thinking Alex..you shouldn't be surprised buddy😂😂
hai Alex, im still hope u going to Yogyakarta someday :'). and also i hope u going to jogyakarta by train or airplane maybe from Bali if there's is an a flight from Bali to jogja :)
Hey Agi! Yes i plan to make the trip there soon!
Tempat kerja saya dulu. Kangen jaga disini saya Receptionist Di Clubhouse nya bagian fasilitas dari apartemen tersebut.
Thanks for sharing Alex... It's totally different than Bali... 😊😊😊
yes of course! Thanks for watching 😁🙌🏻
Mantaps...
Terima kasih sudah ada translate ke Bahasa Indonesianya 👍
Wow your video is so cool. because you made Indonesia even better known to foreign tourists. thank you for loving my beautiful country handsome guy 😉😘🤗
You can try life in BSD Tangerang ,near jakarta.
next time im in jakarta yes!
Welcome to Jakarta.. .i hope you enjoy in jakarta...👍👍❤
i loved jakarta! 😁🙌🏻
hey, we're usually had some mermaid class right at the pool at the Taman Anggrek residence.
pretty close. . the coach are from Jakarta Aquarium at Neo Soho . .
if you're interested, we can take you to see the class
Oh thats awesome I didnt know that! I'm actually back in Bali now but thats good to know in case anyone else is living here and wants to try it
@@alexandwhite thankyou for replying :) have a nice day . .
Next time try to stay in south jakarta which i wud suggest in blok m area,, there is la maisson located in jalan barito,, or in pondok indah area near pondok indah malls there are intercontinental hotel and brand new pondok indah residence apartmen which price sud b around taman anggrek residence, because night life in blok m, pondok indah is much better than staying in west jakarta or even central jakarta like around grand indonesia. Sidewalk is good, near mrt, busway..
In my opinion staying in west jakarta like one y r staying, is much crowded with heavy traffic jam and feel like staying in singapore because they are more chinese, while in staying in south jakarta is like y are living with indigenous people..
I really want to checkin one day this June for my birthday but it is very difficult and always full on the application, even though I am very interested in that apartment
What city will you plan to visit after leaving from Jakarta......Can"t wait for your next vidio in another places in Indonesia.....
Hello from South France We like your blogs, thanks
Thanks for this wonderful video.
thanks for watching Yasin!! 😁😁
@@alexandwhite 😁🇲🇾😁
You can use app travelio for monthly rent apartments in jakarta :)
Awesome good to know for next time!
I just got my business visa to Indonesia as a next destination after Colombia. Would a singer be able to practice an hour or two a day in those high rises without getting hassled by the security guards? Any vloggers over there up to doing collabs with a philosophical/spiritual channel from an actor/singer/comedian? Are bars booking live talent again yet?
I like your content, very details
thanks so much Sikar!!
I think the lock situation is by brand or design maybe. I am here in US and my door is the same way but I have electronic key to my place. I thought it was weird too initially.
yeah it may be by design, it shocked me at first haha
Hi alex..I would love to know, what do u do for living?
I've stayed there, the service is very satisfying
Wow. Already 45k subscribers. I subscribed to this channel when I was 3k subs
haha wow really?! thats awesome you've been here since the beginning 😁😁
Indonesia is not known for its WiFi speed. But some hotels have great WiFi though, but residential area/complex is clearly not an option for speedy internet connection
Jakarta is not really a walkable city no matter where you live. The pollution, heat, filth and smell will make walking around miserable. Meanwhile, an uber (grab or go) is dirt cheap (a couple dollars will get you basically anywhere in the city).
I stayed in Taman Anggrek Residences for 2 years. The key is not stay in towers C through F but to stay in Beech or Azalea. You will pay a bit more, but they are MUCH nicer and the small increase in price is definitely worth it.
Where you should stay will depend mostly on where you will be going the most though. Central Jakarta is generally better than West Jakarta, but my office was just behind Taman Anggrek. The biggest issue for me staying there was the traffic. It basically takes an hour to go anywhere. It doesn't really matter if it's 2km or 10 km away, it will be an hour.
If I may recommend ,Pondok Indah area or Sudirman area thats good area n spot
Living cost around $1200 usd
Damn, this is just basically like living in a hotel, I really love the toilet and everything. Convenient 👍
yeah it was a beautiful place would deff stay there again even with the terrible internet 😂
u should go to "dunia fantasy" (kind of universal studio) ... Chinatown Pantai Indah Kapuk .... or to thousand islands ...
unfortunately i'm back in bali now but will do a second trip back to jakarta again!
so how do you do laundry? is there a laundry shop in the apt complex?
Love these videos so much.. and another videos 👍🎉😎
more to come!
but I think it's pretty cool to stay in that apartement alone
its a really nice place!
come to the geopark Ciletuh, Pelabuhan Ratu Sukabumi.
WOOW in Jakarta now .......Beautiful
yes it was amazing! thanks for watching Ilma!
@@alexandwhite yes u welcome...🙏😊
Your voice is just perfect for vlogging
haha i'm glad you enjoy thanks for watching Bon! 🙌🏻
Hi.. you should check Resinda Hotel Karawang, Managed by Padma Hotels in Karawang. its like a gem hotel in industrial area that will amazed you very well. low budget but high class quality.
Yeah,,, I love place that I can hear the call prayer "Adzan", thank you for showing. ☺
yes thank you for watching! 😁🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@alexandwhite 🙏🙏😁
I think Using Agoda instead of AirBNB is way easier in Indonesia
Since they've more choices and cheaper
I also checked out booking.com but didn't really find any more options either
@@alexandwhite travelio too good bro
Fyi, Its Too expensive for 1 bedroom only, bre...too cramp with high rise prices... hehe...for around 9million rupiahs maybe u'll got 3bedroom in bandung...with lagoon swimming pool near the toll gate to bandung - jakarta... or in my place right now with majesty view of mountains... at 6 height only u can see whole lands of bandung...no need over high rise building. 😃
haha yeah its just the best thing i could find at the time not knowing the area of jakarta too well. Now that i've been there for a month i know where to look next time 😁
U'll find it next time 😃
thank you for making a video about Indonesia 😁
of course! Thanks for watching Ruzz! 😁🙌🏻
I'm waiting for the next video bro alex
thanks so much Muhammad!!
Few nice drone shots.
In KL, where I used to live, in city centre, about 5-10 minutes drive to KLCC depending on traffic, around RM800 @ USD200 a month. 2+1 bedrooms, living, dining, kitchen, @ 838 sq ft. That was 10 years ago, had to sell it after depression n left without job n income to support financing of d apartment.
oh wow thats way more affordable hahaa
@@alexandwhite Yes, it was. U r going to like KL, I think, it's still very affordable. 😁🇲🇾😁
Hola, alguien me puede dar información sobre cómo hacen algunos turistas para ingresar a Indonesia específicamente a Bali?
business visa or KITAS
