π Tips for Finding a Good Apartment or Condo?
If youβve ever searched for housing in the Philippines, you know it can be hit or miss. Landlords, prices, amenities, and neighborhoods vary wildly β even within the same city.
This thread is for sharing your best tips, stories, or recommendations on how to find a decent place to live β or for asking about places you’re currently looking.
π¬ Good things to post:π What city or area you’re talking about
π΅ What price range to expect
π€ Where to find listings (Facebook, brokers, etc.)
π§Ό What to watch out for (bad landlords, scams, mold, no water pressure)
ποΈ Apartment vs. condo pros/cons
β What made your current place worth renting?
Example Reply:
I found my 2BR condo in Cebu City through a local agent on Facebook Marketplace. I paid β±25,000/month including building fees. Tip: always check water pressure and ask about backup power. Some places look great but have zero infrastructure!
Ask questions, share lessons, or just rant about your last move β itβs all helpful to the next expat.
