Houses for Sale in Banjarmasin Selatan, Banjarmasin

Banjarmasin Selatan is one of the most densely populated districts in the city, a run of riverside kampung settled for generations, long before the city had modern housing estates. The Kelayan cluster (Kelayan A, Kelayan B, Kelayan Dalam, Kelayan Luar, Kelayan Timur, Kelayan Barat, and Kelayan Selatan) together with Pekauman forms the dense Banjar-kampung heart along the Martapura river, while Basirih and Mantuil mark the district's more industrial, waterborne edge.

Basirih is known as one of Banjarmasin's timber hubs, plywood plants such as PT Basirih Industrial operate here, and galam wood traders still work out of Jalan Banyiur Luar. That timber heritage is no accident, since many older houses in this district were built from ulin and galam wood, materials that actually harden the longer they stay submerged in swamp water. Further south, Mantuil faces directly onto the Barito river and is currently being surveyed by the city government as a candidate site for expanding Pelabuhan Trisakti, something slowly reshaping the area.

For first-time buyers, dense kampung like Kelayan and Pekauman offer two-bedroom timber houses at some of the most affordable prices in the city, usually reached through narrow lanes along the smaller waterways. When assessing an older timber house here, check the condition of the posts and piling beneath the floor, not just the paintwork, since good foundations are what keep a house standing firm on wetland ground for decades.

The other face of Banjarmasin Selatan is growing along Jalan Gubernur Soebardjo, also known as the Ring Road, which cuts through Basirih and Kelayan Selatan toward Pemurus Dalam, Pemurus Baru, and Tanjung Pagar before connecting to Gambut in Banjar Regency. Estates such as Perumnas Permata Regency, Citra Garden, and Grand Harmony Residence in Pemurus, or Grand Ar Raudah 11 in Tanjung Pagar, have become popular with young families seeking a brick home with better road access, often through KPR mortgages or subsidised housing schemes.
