General overview
Gunung Anyar Tambak is one of the kelurahans of Kecamatan Gunung Anyar, which extends across the southeastern part of Surabaya. The district to which the subdistrict belongs bears the name "Gunung Anyar," and within the city it occupies a relatively peripheral location, but forms part of the Surabaya agglomeration. Surabaya itself covers approximately 335.28 km² and had a population of more than 3 million in mid-2023; the broader metropolitan zone surrounding the city, the Gerbangkertosusila conurbation, encompasses approximately 10 million residents altogether, making it Indonesia's second-largest metropolitan area after Jabodetabek. Gunung Anyar Tambak, as one of the city's southeastern kelurahans, typically represents a mixed-use area: on the peripheral districts of Surabaya, it is generally characteristic for residential zones to be interspersed with newer developments, industrial and commercial areas. Separate statistical data for the subdistrict is not available from current sources, so specific figures regarding population and development density cannot be provided.
Real estate and investment
In Surabaya city overall, active real estate market activity is observed, which can be explained by the fact that the city is the economic and administrative center of East Java and is one of Indonesia's four main growth poles according to Bappenas, along with Medan, Jakarta, and Makassar. In the Surabaya real estate market, there is demand for both residential and commercial properties, and in the case of southeastern urban districts, particular interest is shown in newly developing residential areas. However, regarding Gunung Anyar Tambak subdistrict, available sources contain no specific land price or property price data, so substantiated statements cannot be made about these. Generally speaking, according to Indonesian law, full property ownership (Hak Milik) is not possible for foreign nationals; foreigners can acquire at most usage rights (Hak Pakai), or longer-term rental arrangements may be considered. From an investment perspective, the peripheral districts of Surabaya generally have good infrastructural connections, as Juanda International Airport – located in Sidoarjo regency, approximately 20 km south of the city center – is easily accessible from the city.
Safety and security
Reliable crime data at the settlement level regarding Gunung Anyar Tambak is not available. At the metropolitan level, Surabaya is a city with advanced local administration and police infrastructure, regarded as one of Indonesia's most significant economic and cultural centers. In the manner characteristic of large urban environments generally, it is advisable to exercise caution on crowded public spaces and busy market areas; however, Surabaya's regional reputation reflects fundamentally functioning, organized city administration. No specific security warnings or publicly available incident-related data concerning the southeastern city districts, including Gunung Anyar Tambak, is known from the current database, so more specific conclusions cannot be drawn from this perspective.
