A dash is not a zero. A median needs 30 priced listings behind it and a yield needs 30 on each side; 26 of these fall under that on at least one measure, so those figures are withheld rather than printed off a handful of homes.

Living here

What Gerehu is actually like

Located in the far northeast of Port Moresby, Gerehu is a large residential suburb on the city's outskirts, traditionally catering to lower-middle-class workers and families. It is one of the city's larger suburbs, subdivided into stages ranging from 1 to 7.  Gerehu provides essential amenities, including small supermarkets, schools, and fresh food markets.

With improved access through roads like the Sivari-Baruni Road, the area has seen  development, with businesses purchasing land for warehousing following the relocation of the main Port Moresby wharf to Motukea.

 

Economy

Located in the far north of Port Moresby, Gerehu primarily serves lower-middle-class workers, with many blue-collar employees residing here and working in local warehouses, mainly along Taurama Ave and Nigibata Road. The Sivari-Baruni Road, upgraded in 2018, connects Gerehu to Waigani Drive and the main Port Moresby wharf, leading to an influx of businesses relocating their warehouses to the area and increased investment.

The housing market in Gerehu is generally more affordable, with most standalone homes available for rent at under K1,000 per week. The suburb holds significant potential for development, and many new homeowners are investing in renovations or building new properties as the city expands beyond Waigani.

Shopping

Gerehu offers many small supermarkets and a market that provides residents with fresh garden produce daily. 

Transportation

Waigani Drive connects Gerehu to the rest of Port Moresby and is the main route for the daily commute to work for the majority. Newly developed roads have linked Gerehu to the Napa Napa Road which leads to either Downtown Port Moresby or Motukea Wharf on the East. The Keni-Vani Road links Gerehu directly to 9 Mile and Morata and currently provides an alternative route to the congested Waigani Drive. 

Bus Routes No.7 and 9 run daily between Gerehu, Waigani and Gordons and Boroko. 

Every word above is already written, and already on the site.

Straight answers

What these figures are, and what we will not print

Where these figures come from, and where they stop.

Asking, not sold

Every price here is what a seller or landlord advertises on this site today. Cambodia publishes no register of transaction prices, so nobody can honestly print what homes actually sold for.

Why there is no price chart

Our historical figures are not measured consistently enough to compare one year with another, so we would rather show no trend line than a misleading one.

Small samples are withheld

A median needs 30 priced listings behind it, and a yield needs 30 on each side. Below that the figure is a dash. A dash is an admission; a number would be a claim.

Per square metre is computed

Price divided by floor area, every time, over the homes that state one. The per-square-metre figure agents type into the listing form is never used here.

These counts match the search

Every count is what the search results page returns for the same area, because it is the same query.
