Jakarta has to be one of the few places in the world where apartments are more sought after and more expensive than houses. In the west, the young and single are sequestered in apartments and subjected to a life of banging on radiators to get the heat working and shouting at noisy neighbors to "shut the hell up" until they have the finances and maturity to graduate to a civilized suburban home.

Jakarta life however is much different. Apartments, for the most part, are highly sought after by young professionals and families and are primarily for those in the upper income brackets.

But why are people so keen to shell out money for high-rise living as opposed to sprawling houses? Apartments offer lifestyle off of Jakarta street level. The higher up you are, the further away you are from traffic, pollution, beggars, thieves and noise. Apartments provide residents with little havens in the sky where they can forget about all of the 'reality' down below.

And they are often an ideal option for Expats because they come equipped with ample opportunities for foreigners to meet other foreigners. Gyms, Lobby Lounges, Basketball Courts are all hot spots for networking and making friends. And you don't need to spend an hour in traffic to get there.

High-rise residences are cropping up every day and it's harder than ever to keep up with all of the newcomers. We've selected just a few to give you an idea of what's out there, But don't settle on the first apartment you find. Because with so many options out there, certainly there is one that is absolutely perfect for you.
