I don't know Surabaya very well but it doesn't have the massive traffic problems Jakarta and other large cities have so living close to work isn't quite as important as it would be in Jakarta or places like Semarang.
Avoid anything priced in US$
My general opinion of estate agents isn't a secret, many being, in my opinion, a little less trustworthy than a hungry dog sitting next to a juicy steak, and about as honest as I am when I don't tell my wife about my latest gadget and how much it cost.
That in mind, watch out for stupid prices so make sure you shop around before committing to a place.
