West Jakarta is an area with many offices, universities, and historical sites spread across 8 districts: Palmerah, Kebon Jeruk, Kembangan, Taman Sari, Tambora, Grogol Petamburan, Cengkareng, and Kalideres. Many employees and students live in the area. Many companies such as Traveloka and Kompas Gramedia have offices in Palmerah. Large universities such as Binus University and Tarumanegara University are located in Kebon Jeruk. It is also home to many historical buildings located in Taman Sari which spread from Gajah Mada, Glodok, to Kota Tua Jakarta (Kota Tua Jakarta).

People who work and study in West Jakarta may never live in the area. Many come from other parts of Jakarta, the satellite city of Jakarta, or even other provinces.
