Kebayoran Lama, Residential district in South Jakarta, Indonesia.
Kebayoran Lama is a residential district in South Jakarta bounded by Kebayoran Lama Road to the north and Jakarta Outer Ring Road to the south. Rivers form its eastern and western edges, creating natural divisions within the wider area.
The district grew from timber stockpiles stored during the Dutch East Indies era, serving as a kawedanan administrative level. Over time it transformed into a modern residential area as Jakarta expanded.
The district displays different layers of Jakarta's residential life, from modern developments to long-established neighborhoods living side by side. Walking through it, you notice how families and communities have built their lives here across decades, shaping distinct local rhythms.
The district is well connected with a train station making movement straightforward. Shopping and market facilities such as Pondok Indah Mall and Kebayoran Lama Market are distributed throughout and easy to access.
Mohammad Hatta, Indonesia's first vice president, chose Tanah Kusir Cemetery in this district as his final resting place. The cemetery remains a quiet historical site that welcomes visitors today.
