Buloa Rent Prices in Makassar 2026
Our Verdict
"Smart Money"
The 2.0/5 rating is a reality check—you aren't paying for scenery, you're paying for proximity to the harbor. With a median price of Rp28000/m², it qualifies as SMART_MONEY because you can secure a massive footprint for half the price of a cramped unit in Panakkukang. It is an unapologetic industrial play for those who work in shipping and don't mind the grit.
The Vibe:Buloa is dominated by the heavy rumble of container trucks and the salt-thick air of the nearby Makassar New Port. The crowd here is mostly port workers and logistics contractors who prioritize being five minutes from the terminal over quiet streets. It’s a landscape of corrugated metal, warehouses, and the essential Tol Reformasi connection that keeps the area moving.
The median rent price in Buloa, Makassar is Rp28,000 per m² per month, 38% below the Makassar city average of Rp45000/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of January 2026.

District Highlights
Locals Ask
Is the traffic as bad as they say?
Worse. Container trucks own these roads, so expect slow crawls unless you are heading directly onto the toll road.
What is the average rent for a standard shophouse?
Based on the Rp28000/m² median, a typical 100m² space will run you about Rp2.8 million monthly, though quality varies wildly.
Is Buloa prone to flooding?
Certain pockets near the old drainage canals struggle during the peak monsoon, so check the elevation before signing.
Why is the investment outlook labeled SMART_MONEY?
Because the expansion of the Makassar New Port is guaranteed to drive up land value for logistics-related housing over the next decade.
Can I find a quiet residential street here?
Not really. Between the port operations and the mosque speakers, silence is a rare commodity in this district.
