Locals Ask
Why is the average rent higher than neighboring Tembalang?
Bulusan is purely residential and lacks the cramped 'kos-kosan' student housing that brings down the average in other campus areas.
Is the Rp155000/m² ceiling realistic?
Yes, for modern, minimalist builds in premium clusters like CitraSun Garden which provide city views and high-end security.
What is the biggest downside to living in Bulusan?
The steep topography makes it zero percent walkable, and the commute to the Semarang city center can take 30 minutes in peak traffic.
Are these m² stats based on house or land size?
These stats reflect the monthly rental price per square meter of the building's floor area.
What is the investment outlook for the next 12 months?
Expect prices to hold steady; the lack of new land for development ensures that existing high-spec rentals maintain their premium.
