What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Indonesia?

We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Indonesia is like. They answered...

"Expat homes and apartments in Indonesia are typically comfortable, furnished with modern amenities, and often include a balcony with a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Most expats enjoy living in Indonesia as the country provides a tropical climate and a slower pace of life. With a vibrant culture, great food, and friendly people, expats often find themselves well integrated into their local communities. Expat apartments usually come equipped with air-conditioning, high-speed internet, and plenty of space to enjoy entertaining and family life. Expats may choose to live in luxury apartments with private pools, outdoor patios and outdoor gardens or opt for more modest apartments. Additionally, expats can also find townhouses or villas that offer a greater sense of privacy," said a member in Indonesia.
