GOLD COAST

The most prestigious place to live in North Jakarta is Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK). It is a residential complex located in Penjaringan, North Jakarta. Pantai Indah Kapuk has no significant different with other CBD in South Jakarta or West Jakarta, such as Menteng, Pondok Indah and Puri Indah.

Although most of land in PIK were occupied by residential, other building like shop houses, offices, shopping center and  entertainment venues can also be found in this area. Making it convenience for living. 

Inside PIK, there is apartment that lies within a close distance from North Jakarta’s seashore, called Gold Coast apartment. The apartment has direct access to highway and easy access to Soekarno-Hatta airport.

Besides highway, Gold Coast apartment also close to many public facilities, from entertainment venues to education center, for instance Tzu Chi School, PIK Avenue, Fresh Market, Water Boom, etc. Moreover, since Gold Coast apartment has a concept of Water Front City, it provides water treatment plant, which enable residents to drink right from the tap water.

Based on siteplan, shore line spanned from north side of apartment to the west side. The shore edge was inhabited by several mangrove trees. The Gold Coast apartment looks more exclusive from siteplan, as it is stayed at the corner of land. On the middle of apartment complex, there is an enormous swimming pool and other supporting facilities. Residents of all towers could get an easy access to the facility floor. On the west side of Honolulu tower, you could see vacant land that is probably for development of the next tower. Office tower is located on the east side of apartment complex.  

Outdoor swimming pool in Gold Coast apartment is located on the ground floor. It is an enormous-size swimming pool that featured palm trees and several kinds of green plant. You will experience swimming at resort-like ambiance, not to mention a jacuzzi beside the pool which could pamper your feeling. Located next to swimming pool, there is also kid’s playground for your children. 

Gold Coast apartment provides indoor adult swimming pool for those who is always excited about swimming but doesn’t want to get too much sun exposure. Here, residents can swim freely start from 9:00 am to 21:00 pm. With sufficient brightness level and nice ambiance inside, residents could enjoy their free time and stay relaxed. 

Indoor adult swimming pool is not compatible for your kids to swim at, unless their swimming skill are above average. If your kids want to play with water, adjacent to adult indoor pool, there is a kids swimming pool. The size is smaller and the pool depth is very safe for your kids. You could also watch them while they were swimming, because there is some comfortable bench to sit on. 

Another facilities for your kids to play with is kid’s playground. The amenities inside are slider, toys, balls and colorful chairs. Even though there are not so many toys in the playground, the room is very spacious, so your kid’s can play around even running here and there safely. 

Gym in Golden Coast has comfortable atmosphere and spacious room. Not only that, the gym also has sufficient equipment, so residents don’t have to queuing up when they want to do their session. Doing exercise in this gym is not boring at all, since there is television installed at the top of the gym wall. 

The presence of multi function room at Gold Coast apartment could benefited residents who are frequently hold a meeting. With spacious room and capacity over 30 people, holding business meeting or even seminar in this room can be very convenient. Be sure to contact the estate prior to use the multi function room.  

KTV room is probably the most interesting and unusual facility I could find at Gold Coast apartment. Here, residents can sing their favorite song with friends or family. When I was there, the room was empty. However the karaoke gear are still there, so I assume this room is worked and could operate regularly. Residents should only contact estate management to use this facility. 

Reading at apartment unit might be comfortable and practical, however, if you demand new atmosphere, reading at apartment library could be a good way to enjoy your book. Here you could find many fluffy couches. However, the bookshelf is still empty. It looks like estate management is still constructing the facility. 

Residents don’t have to go outside to breathe some fresh air, because there is park located on the first floor. The park featured many green plants that could produce more oxygen. The wind at this floor also blows nicely. 

In Gold Coast apartment, basketball and tennis court are lies within the same field. It is a raised court encircled by fencing wire. Since it is an outdoor court, the temperature can be very hot, moreover during sunny day. 

In my opinion, Gold Coast apartment has a unique environment that is different from other apartment in Jakarta. When it was sunny, the temperature can be very hot. This isn’t due to air pollution from vehicle emission, but the onshore breeze which blown from north coast. No wonder in the middle of the day, you will experience dry and hot air. Moreover, when you are at the top floor, the temperature could be more challenging. 

No need to worry, even though the temperature can sometime be hard to endure, the surrounding environment would enhance the coolness, as there are many mangrove trees planted there. I’m sure the appearance of mangrove would also helps to prevent flood when wet weather come. 

On the north side of apartment, you can see infamous land reclamation that is still under development. It looks like the land is slowly developed and maybe in the future, when all controversies regarding the reclamation matter are settled, it will become even busier district than today. Thus, investing in Gold Coast apartment can be promising. 

At the unit, you will experience hot temperature if you’re not turning the AC on. The temperature become quickly cooler as you turn on the AC. Unfortunately, there is not much AC at the apartment corridor. Even the lift feels hot. You would prefer be at lobby than those two places.   

One thing I want to highlight is the scenery at the top floor in the afternoon is very awesome. You will see sky horizon along with orange dim light from the sun. I guess, sunset in Gold Coast apartment is something that residents shouldn’t miss. 

There are some public facilities around apartment that could make living in Gold Coast easier, such as:
