🏠 Tips for Finding a Good Apartment or Condo?
If you’ve ever searched for housing in the Philippines, you know it can be hit or miss. Landlords, prices, amenities, and neighborhoods vary wildly — 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 — or for asking about places you’re currently looking.
💬 Good things to post:📍 What city or area you’re talking about
💵 What price range to expect
🤝 Where to find listings (Facebook, brokers, etc.)
🧼 What to watch out for (bad landlords, scams, mold, no water pressure)
🏘️ Apartment vs. condo pros/cons
✅ 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 ₱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 — it’s all helpful to the next expat.
