Key insights about rental yields in Jakarta

Insights

  • Kelapa Gading two-bedroom apartments produce the highest gross yield in Jakarta at 7.2%, yet their average purchase price is only Rp 700 million, making them one of the most affordable high-yield entry points in the city.
  • The gap between the best and worst Jakarta gross yields in this dataset is 2.2 percentage points (from 5.0% to 7.2%), meaning where and what you buy matters at least as much as the Jakarta market overall.
  • In Jakarta, studios and two-bedroom apartments consistently lease faster than large family units. Kelapa Gading studios average just 11 days on the market, while Pondok Indah four-bedroom houses need 34 days on average.
  • Pluit two-bedroom apartments offer the second-best gross yield in Jakarta at 7.1%, yet their average purchase price of Rp 400 million is the lowest in the entire dataset. The catch is flood perception, which remains a real barrier for some tenants.
  • Net yields drop sharply on Jakarta luxury units once annual fees are accounted for. A Pondok Indah four-bedroom house grosses 5.0% but nets only 2.9%, largely because annual ownership costs reach Rp 240 million per year.
  • South Jakarta (Kemang, Cilandak, Pondok Indah, Senopati) delivers strong tenant depth for expat-facing rentals, but its purchase prices are high enough to suppress yields well below what North Jakarta offers for small apartments.
  • SCBD properties are the most expensive to own relative to their rental income. All three SCBD entries sit between 5.0% and 5.7% gross, and their net yields are among the lowest in the table once service charges hit Rp 62 to 175 million a year.
  • Occupancy rates in Jakarta stay high across most neighborhoods, ranging from 73% to 93%, which means vacancy is rarely the main risk. The bigger risk is usually purchase price vs. the rent you can realistically achieve.
  • Cilandak townhouses are worth paying attention to for landlords who want expat demand with better yields than Kemang or Pondok Indah. A three-bedroom Cilandak townhouse grosses 6.9% and targets families near international schools.
  • Menteng delivers decent yields for compact units (6.7% gross for a studio) but the profile weakens fast as unit size grows. The jump from studio to three-bedroom in Menteng cuts the gross yield from 6.7% down to 5.4%.
  • Jakarta large landed homes (four-bedroom houses in Kelapa Gading, Pluit, Puri Indah, Cilandak) look attractive on paper but consistently show longer time-to-rent, lower occupancy, and heavier annual costs than comparable apartments. For a first Jakarta investment, they are generally harder to manage.
  • For a first or second Jakarta rental property, the best risk-adjusted starting point in this dataset is likely a Kelapa Gading two-bedroom apartment or studio, combining a 7.0 to 7.2% gross yield, 11 to 12-day average time-to-rent, and one of the lowest purchase prices on the list.

About our methodology

We also believe it is important to show our reasoning. It is one of the ways we make our work solid, transparent, and rigorous, just as you will see in our real estate pack about Jakarta.

First, please note that this data is updated regularly, so what you see here reflects the current values as of today.

In order to get reliable data, we applied a strict source filter. We only used authoritative, verifiable sources, not random listings or unsupported figures. More on that point below.

For each Jakarta neighborhood and property type, we aggregated the freshest purchase price and monthly rent data we could find. Where possible, we cross-checked multiple sources to confirm the same price range.

This allowed us to estimate rental yield before costs. That is the gross yield, based on annual rent versus purchase price.

We then estimated rental yield after costs. That is the net yield, after recurring ownership and operating expenses specific to Jakarta.

These expenses vary across Jakarta neighborhoods, which is why two areas with similar rents can still produce very different net returns.

For example, CBD-adjacent condos like those in Kuningan and SCBD carry high service charges. Older landed stock in Cilandak and Kemang often needs more regular maintenance. In expat-heavy areas like Kemang, tenant churn and leasing friction can also add to costs.

We also estimated annual ownership fees by combining the main recurring costs for each type of Jakarta property. This includes items such as building service charges, sinking funds, routine maintenance, and insurance where relevant.

These estimates were not applied as a flat city-wide number. They were adjusted by neighborhood and property type to better reflect how ownership actually costs in each Jakarta submarket.

This table should therefore be read as a structured market estimate, not as an exact guarantee of future performance. Honesty, quality, and rigor are at the core of our work, and they are also what you will find in our real estate pack about Jakarta.

What sources have we used to write this blog article?

Whether it's in our blog articles or the market analyses included in our real estate pack about Jakarta, we rely on verifiable sources and a transparent methodology.

BPS Residential Property Price Index 2025 BPS is Indonesia's official national statistics agency, so its residential price index is one of the most reliable public data points available. We used it to cross-check the official direction of residential pricing across Indonesia. We also used it to keep purchase-price assumptions in line with the low-growth environment it describes.

We used it for citywide rental-apartment vacancy and effective-rent benchmarks across Jakarta. We also used it as the base for occupancy, vacancy, and rent-level assumptions in apartment-heavy neighborhoods.

We used it to map popular residential areas, projects, and broad price ranges across South, Central, North, and West Jakarta. We also used it to identify which neighborhoods and buildings are most commercially active for buyers and investors.
99.co Jakarta rental listings 99.co is one of Indonesia's major property portals and provides large volumes of current asking-rent evidence by neighborhood and unit type.
