Tanjung Merdeka Rent Prices in Makassar 2026
Our Verdict
"The Grid"
At a median of Rp48k/m², the area is priced fairly for what it offers, landing it squarely in THE_GRID category. It isn't a speculative goldmine or a cultural hotspot, but rather a functional choice for those who want to be near the water without the Losari price tag. Just be wary of the top-end Rp110k/m² listings; unless it's a fully serviced villa near the beach, that price is hard to justify given the lack of local infrastructure.
The Vibe:This is where Makassar’s urban sprawl meets the coastline, dominated by dusty roadside stalls and gated clusters that haven't quite reached their prestige potential. You'll spend most of your time navigating the long stretches of Jalan Metro Tanjung Bunga alongside commuters and weekend beachgoers. It feels less like a polished neighborhood and more like a transit point between the city's commercial core and the southern waterfront.

Locals Ask
Why is there such a massive gap between Rp20k and Rp110k?
The low end covers basic unrenovated houses in older kampungs, while the high end targets furnished units in gated clusters near Mall GTC.
How bad is the flood risk during the rainy season?
Significant; the drainage in the lower-lying parts of Tanjung Merdeka often fails when the tide is high and the rain is heavy.
Is there a decent public transport connection to the city?
The Teman Bus runs along the main road, but if you live deep inside the residential blocks, you'll need a motorbike to reach the stop.
Can I find modern apartments here?
Almost zero; this market is dominated by landed houses and townhouses rather than high-rise living.
What’s the weekend noise level like?
Expect a spike in noise and traffic on Sundays as the rest of Makassar heads to the nearby public beaches.
