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 Tokarara is actually like

Tokarara has experienced significant development, especially since the completion of the Koura Freeway in 2018, which has connected the suburb to Downtown Port Moresby in just a 5-minute drive. Predominantly a residential area, Tokarara has seen new investments, including the opening of the new Tango Supermarket.

The suburb features a mix of colonial-era homes and newer timber or brick residences, reflecting recent road extensions and development in the area.

Despite a substantial increase in property values over the past decade, Tokarara remains attractive to first-time homebuyers and investors. The high demand for rental properties in the suburb is driven by its convenient location near Waigani and Downtown Port Moresby.

Shopping

Tokarara received renewed interest for commercial investments in the area after the opening of the Koura Freeway resulting in property investment in the area. Tango Supermarket built in 2019 now caters for the majority of shopping in the area with a fully stocked supermarket on the ground floor while the clothing shop upstairs supplies the uniforms for schools in Tokarara and nearby suburbs. 

An fresh food market is found on the side of the Koura Freeway next to the Tokarara Supermarket and there is potential for more shopping centres to open in the area as investors look towards purchasing property in the area. 

Food

Aside from the main Tokarara Bakery and Tango Supermarket along the Koura Freeway, you will find many small convenience stores in the area that offer street style food with barbeque type foods or bakeries along Rakatani and Dikagari Roads which provides convenience to residents not looking to travel to the supermarket or nearby Waigani for a quick meal. With many residents fitting the lower middle class category in the area, there aren't any restaurants in the area however being closely located to Waigani, you will find many restaurants, cafes and food outlets only 5-10 minutes from Tokarara.

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.
