A dash is not a zero. A median needs 30 priced listings behind it and a yield needs 30 on each side; 25 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 Waigani is actually like

Waigani Suburb, often referred to as Waga, is centrally positioned between Tokarara, Ensisi, Gordons, and Gerehu, located northwest of downtown Port Moresby and southwest of Jackson’s International Airport.

As one of the largest and most iconic suburbs in Port Moresby, Waigani is home to several notable landmarks, including the National Parliament, National Museum, National Library, Port Moresby National Arts Theatre, National Archives, Morauta Haus, and the newly refurbished City Hall.

The large population in Waigani can be both an advantage and a challenge, depending on one's perspective. Since the 2018 APEC Summit, the suburb has seen a significant boost in infrastructure development, with key projects including:

  • Independence Boulevard
  • The Convention Center
  • Koura Way, which connects Waigani and Hanuabada via Tokarara and June Valley
  • Keni Vani Road, linking Gerehu and Rainbow Estate with 8 and 9 Mile
  • Sir Manasupe Haus (formerly the Pineapple Building)

Nightlife

Waigani is home to some of Port Moresby's most popular clubs and bars. Being centrally located, night clubs including the Cosmopolitan and Gold Club regularly host events or special performances. Hotels including the Stanley, Lamana and Holiday Inn provide quality facilities to host events including dinners and cocktails. 

Since the upgrade to the facilities for the 2015 South Pacific Games, the Sir John Guise Stadium has hosted many concerts and sporting competitions at night both at the main stadium and the indoor complex located within the same vicinity. 

 

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

From here

On the market in Waigani right now

1 of 4homes for sale state a floor area, which is what makes a price per square metre a real division.

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.
