Living in Pondok Indah Exclusive Area of Jakarta

Stately mansions line the major thoroughfare of Jl. Metro Pondok Indah, just south of Pondok Indah Mall I, II and III. A well planned community with tree-lined streets. Pondok Indah is the closest neighborhood to the Cilandak campus of Jakarta Intercultural School. Although it is a newer neighborhood compared to the Kemang or Cipete areas, the houses often lack the backyards that are a much enjoyed asset in the older expat neighborhoods. 

The commute to the the Golden Triangle could be as long as 45 minutes to one hour, depending on your destination and traffic congestion. Commute time to the British International School from the Pondok Indah area is around 45 minutes, however because the commute is going against the flow of traffic into the city, typically it is a smooth commute.

While a lot of the appeal for you is the proximity to the school, it really is pretty nice to live in Pondok Indah area. The neighborhood is frequent and there is also a lot less open burning of trash, which is nice. You can run outside on well-maintained, low traffic streets, surrounded by trees, instead of stepping across broken asphalt worrying that you will have to jump into a filthy canal to avoid the motorcyclist whizzing by. That's a huge benefit that makes nearly every day significantly more pleasant!
