SetiabudiRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Final Boss"
With m² stats topping out at $28.5/m², Setiabudi is the undisputed FINAL_BOSS of Jakarta rentals because you are paying for the luxury of a ten-minute commute. Our neighborhood analysis shows that the average rent is skewed by premium high-rises, making this a tough market for those without a massive housing allowance. The investment outlook is solid, but tenants should prepare for aggressive annual increases given the lack of new land for development.
The Vibe:This is where old-money residential plots collide with glass-and-steel skyscrapers directly adjacent to the Sudirman-Thamrin corridor. Expect to spend significant time navigating the tight, one-way loops of Jalan Setiabudi Raya while dodging Gojek fleets and armored SUVs. The crowd is strictly high-level corporate types and embassy staff who value being within striking distance of the LRT Jabodebek over suburban quiet.

Locals Ask
Is the $18/m² average rent actually justifiable?
Only if your office is in Kuningan or Sudirman; the time saved skipping the bypass traffic is the only reason to pay these premiums.
What does the $11/m² lower end get me?
Usually a unit in an older tower with dated plumbing and limited parking, likely located further back toward the Menteng border.
How is the flooding risk in this specific area?
Setiabudi sits on relatively high ground for Jakarta, though the main arteries like Rasuna Said still see heavy pooling during monsoon peaks.
Is street parking an option for guests?
Absolutely not; the residential streets are narrow and strictly guarded by local 'security' who will not tolerate outsiders blocking access.
What is the investment outlook for 2024?
Extremely strong for landlords because the supply of high-end units near the new LRT line is capped by existing zoning.
