That's a really helpful overview! The "gated community with a decent gym" really hits the nail on the head – I hadn't considered that as a key element, but it makes perfect sense. I guess figuring out the budget range is the first hurdle then, to narrow down the search areas. Thanks for the specific examples of neighborhoods too; PIK, Kebon Jeruk, and Puri Indah are all good starting points for my research.
