Bulusan Rent Prices in Semarang 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
With a median price of Rp85000/m², Bulusan firmly earns its BOUGIE rating by offering a level of suburban peace that’s rare this close to a major university. It isn't a place for those hunting a bargain, but the m² stats justify the cost through superior drainage and actual sidewalks. You’re essentially paying for the privilege of being five minutes from the action while living in a different zip code mentally.
The Vibe:Bulusan is the polished, quieter sibling to the frantic student energy of Tembalang, characterized by wide asphalt roads and high-walled residential clusters. The crowd here swaps cheap street food for gated security and enough driveway space for two SUVs. It’s the primary landing zone for senior academics and professionals who need fast access to the Banyumanik toll gate without the mid-city smog.

Locals Ask
Why is the price range so wide in Bulusan?
The Rp35000 to Rp155000/m² gap reflects the difference between older kampung-style houses and the premium managed estates like CitraSun.
Is the average rent expected to drop?
Unlikely; the investment outlook remains bullish as land availability near the university reaches its limit.
How is the traffic compared to Tembalang?
Much better; the roads are wider and you avoid the notorious bottleneck near the UNDIP main gate.
What kind of tenants dominate the area?
Expect to see postgraduate students with higher budgets, university lecturers, and young professional families.
Is parking a nightmare like in the city center?
No, this is one of the few areas in South Semarang where 'street parking' isn't a euphemism for blocking your neighbor's gate.
