Ketabang Rent Prices in Surabaya 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
At a median of $6.7/m², this area earns its BOUGIE status because you are paying for the 60271 zip code prestige. Our neighborhood analysis shows that while the m² stats are high, the inventory is actually quite limited, mostly consisting of premium high-rises or heritage buildings. If you want to be within a three-minute dash of a boardroom or a luxury mall, the investment outlook remains solid despite the lack of typical 'neighborhood' grit.
The Vibe:Clean, colonial-era boulevards meet massive commercial developments and the Grahadi government building. The atmosphere stays strictly professional during the day, then goes quiet once the office crowd clears out of Jalan Pemuda. It feels more like a seat of power than a residential suburb, dominated by the presence of the Kalimas river and Grand City Mall.
The median rent price in Ketabang, Surabaya is $6.7 per m² per month, 100% below the Surabaya city average of $83750/m². Based on 1 verified rental data points as of January 2026.

Locals Ask
Is parking a nightmare in Ketabang?
Yes, unless your lease includes a dedicated basement spot at a place like Grand City or a private driveway, street parking is non-existent.
Why is the Average Rent spread so wide at $4.1 - $10.5/m²?
The $4.1 units are usually dated walk-ups or older commercial shells, while $10.5 gets you into modern serviced apartments with skyline views.
What is the long-term investment outlook for rentals here?
Stable but slow growth; it’s a finite land area with high institutional ownership, keeping supply low and prices artificially propped up.
Are there many houses for rent or just apartments?
It is heavily skewed toward high-density apartments and commercial units; finding a standalone house with a yard here is nearly impossible.
How is the flood risk near the Kalimas river?
This is one of the better-drained districts in Surabaya, though heavy monsoons can still cause minor pooling on the side streets near Jalan Genteng Kali.
