Property Prices in Indonesia

[Daniel50]

If you want a normal house in a quiet area , its achievable . Of course if you want a monster cliff top villa then of course you will need "big bucks" .

A "normal" house in a quiet area sounds about right for us.

Ours is a 2 story 3 bedroom 2 bath with a large enclosed yard . Top story traditional minahasa wood and masonry lower floor. 2 Upstairs decks and outside porch . No pool . What would that cost in Bali a year ? Not in town !

Bali prices vary "substantially" from fashionable enclaves to normal areas , such as canggu vs the bukit jimbaran ,your place sounds nice, in the cheaper area as mentioned I reckon you could find something like for around 30juta ,but you have got to do a lot of searching and negotiating ,stay away from real estate agents and brokers and use a trusted local to help.

We are looking at Sanur area for the beach path and I like Sanur main street. The area seems fairly laid back. Sanur is not very high above sea level so we were thinking an area close but a bit higher elevation. We think if we are too far we might not drive there so fairly close. We will see what is available as we get closer to leaving.

Ya sanur in all directions is flat , the closest higher elevations , bukit jimbaran and sukawati around 20 minutes drive , .

I also believe Renon is higher above sea level and fairly close/borders parts of Sanur?

If you check the topographical maps there is not much difference ,if there was a tsunami I think denpasar and of course sanur would be underwater , you must also consider the traffic in both places and population density . Bear in mind sanur and parts of dps are quite expensive , but ya your choice my friend .

I think some tsunami projections are avg. tsunami get to higher ground from the overpass to the sea. Large tsunami higher ground overpass to the other/non sea side of Sanur. Renon seems to be at a higher risk of flooding then Sanur. I/we really like Sanur and beach path but not the low sea level.

I realize 4.6 million people on a smallish Island is a lot but compared to Jakarta area still somewhat heaven.

Yeah, for easy and relaxed retirement living (with still access to all commodities) the question is always Sanur or Seminyak. I prefer the latter.

You forgot to mention whether or not the house has a guest room.

I have hear that Sanur is choked with aging Dutch both permanent retirees and long time and slow moving vacationers. Any truth to that?

 

[snpark]

I remember in 95 Sanur was the "in" place and regulations banned any construction "higher than a palm tree" to keep the flat panorama
I even stayed in the Grand Bali Beach Hotel and back then it was pretty much the tallest building in Bali let alone Sanur

Now it's been replaced?

Nope. Still not allowed to build higher than palm trees (4 stories is maximum - which creates massive urban sprawl, and also contributes to higher land prices). And GBB Hotel is still the tallest building in Bali.

yap for sure jakarta is "hell on wheels " , sanur and seminyak can get a bit tiresome with the choked roads ,and on occasion sidewalks .

 

[jstar]

Luckily the sidewalks are not so good...

Why Seminyak vs Sanur for you preferences? I like the beach path in Sanur it would be a nice bike ride/walk in the AM.. We don't have to live right there but close would be preferable.

@Daniel50 : Sunset vs sunrise. Bit nicer (read: deeper and cleaner) beach (for walks on the beach vs the boardwalk). Bit more restaurants and shops, which are (to me) somewhat more special (google for instance La Favela). Bit easier access airport (although the way in can be hell).

So subjectively, Seminyak is somewhat more appealing. But in 10 years time I'll probably think the opposite. But then I'll live in Curaçao

 

[Daniel50]

La Favela Seminyak looks okay.........



but I can definitely challenge that with Sanur's grilling of the corn warung but enough said......the videos speak for themselves and I think most people will line up with myself and Sanur.....


If that isn't enough I trump it with "Little Bird Warung" Need I mention in Sanur.
