Houses for Sale in Banjarmasin

Banjarmasin is the largest city and commercial heart of South Kalimantan. Although the provincial capital moved to Banjarbaru in 2022, Banjarmasin remains the hub for trade, education, and healthcare, which keeps housing demand consistently strong through the year.

For young families and first-time buyers, areas such as Sungai Andai and Kertak Hanyar offer housing estates with steadily improving infrastructure at prices that still make sense. Kayu Tangi, meanwhile, is prized for its closeness to Lambung Mangkurat University (ULM) and UIN Antasari, a strong pick if you want a home to live in that can also earn as a boarding house (kos).

One thing sets Banjarmasin apart from other cities: its ground. As a delta city threaded by the Barito and Martapura rivers, most land here is swamp and peat with soft soil. The major floods of early 2021 were a reminder that a good location is not just about price, but about land elevation, drainage, and how a house is built.

Local wisdom answered this long ago. The Banjar Rumah Bubungan Tinggi raises its floor about two metres above ground on ulin and galam timber columns, woods that actually harden the longer they stay submerged. When you assess a home, ask about foundation depth and water management, not just the finish.
