What is the average cost of housing in Indonesia?

If you are thinking about moving to Indonesia, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing...

"The average cost of housing in Indonesia varies depending on the location. Generally speaking, most basic housing in Indonesian cities can be found for a reasonable price, although prices can be higher in more populated or desirable areas. Additionally, the cost of renting an apartment or house in Indonesia is typically lower than that of purchasing a property," remarked another expat who made the move to Indonesia.

"Right now, we've just continued the leased from the previous family but the ball park would be $1,000/month with 3 security guards on 8 hours rotation provided by the company. $1,000-2,000/month is the average cost of leasing a house. Apartment, I don't know," explained one expat living in Jakarta, Indonesia.
