Chat on WhatsAppKayu Tangi is the area along Jalan Brigjen H. Hasan Basri in North Banjarmasin that is synonymous with campus life. Lambung Mangkurat University (ULM) and UIN Antasari sit here, and the student pulse keeps the area busy all year, food stalls, print shops, cafés, and hundreds of boarding houses (kos) and rental homes.
As a result, Kayu Tangi is viewed as an investment area more than a simple place to live. Homes in the lanes near campus are often converted into kos, and occupancy tends to stay steady through the academic year. Commercial frontage on Jalan Hasan Basri itself is among the priciest in North Banjarmasin, while prices ease as you move into the lanes behind it.
The area is more established and denser than newer housing corridors like Sungai Andai; its basic infrastructure has long been in place. If you want a home that also earns rent, do the maths honestly: distance to the campus gate, a realistic room count, and parking, those decide whether your kos fills quickly or not.
Price Trend
Commercial frontage on Jalan Hasan Basri is among North Banjarmasin's priciest at roughly Rp8–15 million per square metre, while inner-lane homes suited to kos generally run Rp400 million–Rp1 billion depending on room count. Values are underpinned by steady student rental demand (2025 market estimate, subject to change).
Flood & Land
Like most of Banjarmasin, the ground is wetland/delta, but Kayu Tangi is denser and older, so drainage along its main road is established. Ponding is usually local, during heavy rain coinciding with high tide; check lane drains and floor height, especially on older homes you plan to turn into kos.
Access & Location
On Jalan Brigjen H. Hasan Basri, North Banjarmasin's main route linking to Jalan A. Yani and the city centre. Around 10–15 minutes to Siring/Sudimampir. Public minibuses and ride-hailing are easy to find given the dense campus activity.

Why is Jalan Hasan Basri so much pricier?
