My compiled info on properties and apartment units i might wish to buy in Batam in the near future..and my road so far...
1. On Citra Plaza and Harbour Bay Residences :
https://samleong.shop/showpost.php?p=17...ostcount=11940
I cant afford Formosa residence,so i look at Citra plaza which is about 100 plus meter away,hehehe...
2. One of my ideal apartment to buy,hehehe...thats
Bayerina at Harbour Bay Ferry terminal. Minimum gonna cost me around S$45k for a decent unit,hehehe...what i like about it is, all their units comes with a balcony.
Actually Formosa Residence is the most ideal but i cannot afford 2 units of it w/o a loan,hence i drop the idea (that one cost almost S$100k per studio unit,excluding hidden cost).
3. An article on why MOST foreigner still seems uninterested in Indonesia properties even after the law in Indonesia change to allow foreigners to own them.

8. And some resale apartment which i am keeping tab on :
a)
Queen Victoria Imperium near to Batam Center. Which is has 3 bed room, going 580 juta at 58 square meter that is ready to move in.I have pass by this place many times,hehehe...its located at a 鸟不生蛋 place. Meaning its really out of the way for many things within a its perimeter of 1km,hehehe... of course, i only look at the location briefly.
b) I am looking at Aston Hotel and Apartment about 500 meter from BCS mall too. Its the 2nd most expensive apartment unit i saw comparing it with Formosa Residence (in terms of studio unit's per square meter).
c) Harbour Bay Residence, which is at Harbour Bay ferry terminal. Pricing wise is comparable with Aston, which is 2nd most priciest.
9. Batam property outlook?

Notice that from all the posts i have made, my eyes were mostly set on the Nagoya/Penuin/Baloi area of apartments rather than Batam Center area (15 to 20 mins drive apart),hehehe...a few friends asked me who so?
I ask them back, would you wish to live near a place where there will be constant protest and a possibly riot in the near future? Or perhaps even a possibility of a terrorist attack? At the least, i have heard of no less than 5 protesting demonstration at Batam center over my 5 years in Batam and a rumored of a possible upcoming terrorist attack on tourism (i am sure senior bros following this thread would remember that one,hehehe..).
A bit of a sidenote here, Riots, Protest,Political instability were mostly predictable, example most riots/protest usually happens during Ramadan, Election period, Labour Day, National day etc. If commoners like me can see that, i am sure terrorist would be able to do so, same goes for the relevant Indonesian authorities too.
All in all, if i could afford NOT to stay near Batam Center area, i would try not to (note, i am not saying i wont buy any units there in the near future,what i am saying is i am just unlikely to physically STAY around the area). The only advantage i see in Batam center other than the lower pricing on apartment/s were the Singapore Consulate being situated there,hehehe... i almost forgot, there seems to be many more developers building Condo apartments there at Batam center area than in Nagoya area, and likelihood of a much bigger clusters of apartment blocks would be there in that area.
One more thing, standing as a single one-person tourist perspective, the people i feared most in Batam were their authorities, eg Police ,immigration officers,army officials or the likes.
What i share were base on my experience/findings, my perspective...my point of view. I do not represent any organisation,any public bodies, companies or any group/s which includes my very own few group of friends whenever i share.
Enjoy reading, thats for those who are interested.
Next upcoming, as mentioned above and looking from one single tourist perspective, i will be looking into insurance that covers me as a tourist in Batam,hehehe...yes, it has to be on a long term, likelihood to look into those 1 year or longer insurance.
I believe most would not buy travel insurance when they are travelling to Batam for a short stay but what if, its staying in Batam for 29 days a month? I will also looking at travelling SLOWLY (not on a plane) to other parts of indonesia on a much later time too.
