4. Mampang Prapatan , Pasar Minggu and Jagakarsa

These three sub-districts are connected to each other. Mampang Prapatan is close to Rasuna Street (Kuningan) where it is part of Jakarta’s Golden Triangle (Major Office and business building complex). The road structure of Mampang Street itself is almost similar to Fatmawati Street. Along the main street of Mampang Prapatan to Pasar Minggu is filled by so many shop houses that sell miscellaneous items and services. Unfortunately, although it’s supported by larger road and the bus exclusive way (TransJakarta), this street is known for its traffic jam in almost busy hours as it has many large intersections along the road. You have to choose your time carefully when you pass this road to avoid getting stuck for hours because of the traffic jam.

Jagakarsa is at another end of Mampang Prapatan sub-district. Jagakarsa most allotment is housing areas with a relatively cheaper land price since its far from the central of famous business districts such as Senayan, Blok M and The Golden Triangle area. Jagakarsa is also has a famous Zoo that known as Kebun Binatang Ragunan. It is a good destination for your family day, but on the weekends it will be quiet full.

5. Pancoran Tebet Setiabudi

Pancoran, Tebet and Setiabudi sub-district are also connected to each other. Pancoran is located at the center of those three sub-districts and has several major roads including highway which connected to Semanggi Highway (Sudirman Street). It also has a famous symbol  which called Patung Pancoran (Pancoran Statue) which located on the centre of large intersection and side to side with the high way. Most of its allotment share is mainly for office buildings  but it has a rather small housing area as well.

Tebet is the sub-district that directly connected to Pancoran district and its most allotment is housing area with the prices are relatively cheaper than Kebayoran Baru sub-district but a bit higher than Jagakarsa prices.
