Kedung Waringin – neighbourhood in Kota Bogor, Tanah Sareal district, West Java
Kedung Waringin is an administrative village (kelurahan) in Kota Bogor city, within the Tanah Sareal kecamatan of West Java province, Indonesia. Kota Bogor is situated in the western part of West Java province, approximately 51 kilometres south of Jakarta and roughly 120 kilometres north-northwest of Bandung. Based on its coordinates (6.55° South latitude, 106.79° East longitude), Kedung Waringin forms part of the Bogor urban agglomeration, which entirely surrounds Kabupaten Bogor. Detailed administrative data specific to the settlement is not available, so the following presentation is based on relevant data and relationships applicable at the regency level, namely for Kota Bogor as a whole, to illustrate the broader environment.
General overview
Kedung Waringin belongs to the Tanah Sareal kecamatan, which is one of six administrative districts of Kota Bogor. Kota Bogor is divided into a total of 68 kelurahans, or urban neighbourhoods, among which Kedung Waringin is included. By the end of 2024, the city had a population of approximately 1,144,108, with a population density of approximately 10,271 people per square kilometre — indicating an extremely densely populated urban area. Kota Bogor is known throughout the region by the nickname "Kota Hujan," the City of Rain, because annual rainfall is exceptionally high and distributed evenly throughout the year. This wet, humid climate is a defining characteristic of daily life for residents and is also a primary explanation for the characteristic green vegetation found throughout the city. Kedung Waringin itself is a typically urban residential neighbourhood, though reliable sources are unavailable for information about its life and institutional background; local administrative characteristics follow the general order of the Bogor urban unit.
Real estate and investment
Kedung Waringin does not have publicly available real estate market data at the kelurahan level, but the broader context — namely Kota Bogor's real estate market — provides valuable background. Due to Kota Bogor's relatively short distance from Jakarta — approximately 51 kilometres — and its strong economic ties to the capital's agglomeration, the city's real estate market is characterized by sustained brisk demand. There is particularly high interest in residential properties in Bogor among workers employed in Jakarta who seek residential accommodation in the outer areas. Under the general framework of Indonesian land ownership regulations, foreign private individuals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to real estate in Indonesia; for them, Hak Pakai (usage rights) is accessible under certain conditions, and rental arrangements are available. From an investment perspective, Kota Bogor is considered an important element of the Jabodetabek agglomeration — the region encompassing Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi — which generally favours real estate returns. Current price data and investment indicators for Kedung Waringin require up-to-date sources from local real estate intermediaries.
Safety and security
No verifiable statistics at the kelurahan level are available regarding the public safety situation in Kedung Waringin. In the broader sense, Kota Bogor is a densely populated Indonesian city with developed infrastructure, characterized by the general public safety profile typical of larger Indonesian cities: organized violent crime is not a defining factor, though petty property crimes such as pickpocketing may occur in crowded urban areas. Local police (Polresta Bogor Kota) maintain public order in the city. For travellers and residents, general vigilance and familiarity with local norms are recommended; however, it is important to emphasize that settlement-level crime data cannot be cited from available sources, and current local information is warranted for assessing the actual situation.
Tourist attractions
Kedung Waringin does not appear in available sources as a tourist destination, and no named local attractions can be identified from available materials. In the broader context of Kota Bogor, however, it is worth noting that the city itself is home to several well-known attractions that may be relatively close to Kedung Waringin. The entire area of Kota Bogor is characterized by nomenclature from the colonial Dutch period — the city was historically called Buitenzorg, meaning "without care," which also points to its rich historical heritage. The city is home to the Bogor Botanical Gardens (Kebun Raya Bogor), one of Indonesia's most significant botanical gardens, founded by the Dutch in the early 19th century and today an outstanding scientific and tourist destination. Additionally, the city houses Istana Bogor, one of Indonesia's presidential residences. These attractions are, however, well-known sights of Kota Bogor city as a whole; source data is not available regarding the exact distance from Kedung Waringin to these locations.
Summary
Kedung Waringin is a kelurahan belonging to the Tanah Sareal district of Kota Bogor city in West Java, approximately 51 kilometres south of Jakarta. The high population density, rainy climate, and close ties to the Jabodetabek agglomeration characteristic of the broader city determine the general picture that can be formed of the neighbourhood, though detailed settlement-level data is not available. For understanding real estate market opportunities, public safety, and local tourism offerings, it is advisable to rely on current local sources and materials presenting Kota Bogor as a whole.
