Houses for Sale in Banjar Regency

Banjar Regency wraps around South Kalimantan's two biggest cities, Banjarmasin and Banjarbaru, with Martapura as its regency seat, known as the Diamond City and a santri city (home to students from Islamic boarding schools). That position pulls housing demand from two directions at once: families wanting more breathing room outside the core cities, and locals from Martapura and its surrounds who want to settle close to home.

Gambut and Kertak Hanyar are the two fastest-growing districts, sitting right on Jalan A. Yani, the road linking Banjarmasin, Banjarbaru, and Martapura. The regency government has even drawn up a dedicated spatial plan for the Gambut-Kertak Hanyar urban area, making it an official buffer zone for the wider Banjarbakula metro region (Banjarmasin, Banjarbaru, Barito Kuala, Tanah Laut, and Banjar). For young families working in Banjarmasin who want a lighter mortgage, housing estates in these two districts, including several subsidised (subsidi) projects, are the main draw.

Life in Martapura itself revolves around Pasar Intan Cahaya Bumi Selamat, the gemstone market, and the rhythm of a santri city with dozens of pesantren, including the well-known Pesantren Darussalam. Homes in estates around the Sekumpul area are typically 2–4 bedrooms on 150–400 square metre plots, a fit for families who want to be close to religious schools, the market, and the Al-Karomah Grand Mosque, with the option to rent a room to santri or seasonal traders.

The ground itself is not uniform. Districts bordering Banjarmasin directly, such as Kertak Hanyar and Sungai Tabuk, still have plenty of wetland, so check land elevation and drainage before buying. Moving further out toward Astambul or Sungai Pinang, the ground tends to be firmer and hillier, where residents grow rubber, citrus, and cloves. That difference shapes both price and what a house needs to be built to withstand.
