Affordable Apartments in Depok

Hello FlokqJune 5, 2020

Depok is home to many renowned universities in Indonesia, including Universitas Indonesia, Universitas Pancasila, D Campus of Universitas Gunadarma, and many others. It’s no wonder why the satellite city has turned into a home for college students.While many people prefer to live in kosts (boarding house), some students want to choose to live independently in an apartment. That is a good idea as well, considering the more budget-friendly monthly rental price of Margonda apartments.

But, is Margonda the only hub for affordable apartments? Not really. Even further areas like Cinere, they are home to some of the best, yet most budget-friendly apartments in the satellite tow.

Therefore, we’ve come up with the list of the most affordable apartments in Depok, both in Margonda and Cinere.

This apartment in Margonda is one of many Taman Melati Apartments by PT Adhi Karya Tbk. Their locations are usually near universities, just like how Taman Margonda is close to Universitas Indonesia, Universitas Gunadarma, and Politeknik Negeri Jakarta.
