Rossana, 55, has been living in a BSD housing complex for almost nine years. So far, she is happy. When she decided to live in a house in aneighborhood" rather than in an apartment, it was not because she did not enjoy living in her apartment in Jakarta.
"I like mingling with people in the community and I also want to live outside (the capital). First, I was so worried of the unknown here, but this place really made it easy for me to adjust," she told the Post.
Rossana said she loves traditional foods and she can now find them easily at Taman Jajan in BSD, Tangerang. "Everything we need is here, and frankly speaking, this is better than any other neighborhood I have ever lived in," said Rossana, who is a widow of five years with three children.
She currently lives with her youngest daughter and grandson. Her grandson is constantly by her side at their home in the Nusaloka complex.
Her eldest son lives in South Jakarta and her eldest daughter lives with her Australian husband in Sydney.
Yayat Chudori, 34, another BSD resident, had a different reason when he decided to move here years ago.
Asked what he liked most about BSD, the father of one daughter replied: the green environment, public facilities, neighbourhood security system and comfortable climate.
"There are two public swimming pools in BSD. One Olympic-sized pool located at Damai Golf and one smaller one at Taman Jajan. I also like it because this is a broad area. We have streets, parks, playgrounds, supermarkets, shopping malls, schools, hospitals,"*he said.
At his complex, Yayat said, residents held a barbecue picnic once a month:bring our food and gather at the park.nice."
Yayat and his wife Milawati, 31, apparently have no complaints at all to make of the neighbourhood, albeit one.
Our house is beautiful enough, although it's not large enough," said Milawati.
The majority of BSD residents are families (95 percent), and single residents comprise 5 percent.
Yayat recommends BSD as the best community for young professional families with young children.

"The kind of life you have here is different from any other neighborhood. It's not like living in a fancy complex," he added, implying that BSD was an area of neighborhoods where residents shared a strong sense of community.
