A House in the Suburbs or an Apartment in Jakarta? Which is More Profitable?

When looking for housing, workers in the capital, especially those from satellite cities (Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi), are often torn between choosing a house in the suburbs or an apartment in the city center. Considerations about the practicality of an apartment often conflict with the stability of a landed home. To answer this question, you can consider these factors before deciding between an apartment or a house.

Land Ownership

This is the biggest difference between a house and an apartment. If you want land that can be used for various purposes, such as gardening and raising animals, a house is the absolute answer because you own both the building and the land. Generally, apartments also have restrictions on bringing pets into the unit, but some apartments are pet-friendly. Furthermore, apartments cannot be owned for a long period. Some apartments only have HGB (Building Use Rights) legality, which is subject to a feasibility review every 30 or 50 years.

Location and Accessibility

In this regard, apartments are arguably the clear winner. Apartments are typically located in central business districts and have complete infrastructure. This is ideal for those with high mobility. Landed houses in nearby areas are increasingly becoming unaffordable, especially for workers. However, many houses in the suburbs are increasingly integrated with various modes of public transportation, making it easier to reach places in the city center while minimizing the potential for traffic congestion in the capital.

Surroundings

City center neighborhoods also face major challenges: noise and a lack of green open spaces. The social environment in apartment complexes tends to be individualistic, but the added value lies in the privacy of each resident. For those who prefer a quiet environment with more green open spaces and increased social interaction, owning a home in the suburbs could be the solution.

Facilities

Another advantage of apartments is the availability of comprehensive facilities for residents. These include shopping centers and health facilities like gyms and swimming pools. These are rarely found in residential areas. To address this, YUKARI Sawangan offers comprehensive facilities, including a jogging track and clubhouse, to meet the needs of its residents.

As an Investment Instrument

If you decide to use property as an investment, a house can be a long-term investment, while an apartment tends to be a short-term rental. However, both can be equally profitable, depending on the potential of the location and your ability to manage the property.

If, after reading these points, you’re interested in owning a home, YUKARI Sawangan offers a housing complex with various advantages. This includes a beautiful environment that still accommodates high resident mobility, and is conveniently located close to the Pamulang and Sawangan toll roads. A variety of public facilities are also available within easy reach. All of this is complemented by earthquake-resistant technology that ensures long-term durability.
