How do I find a place to live in Manila?

Answer this Question

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...

"If you are looking for a place to live in Manila, there are a variety of options available. You can search online for rental listings, or contact a local real estate agent to help you find a suitable place. You can also look for classified ads in local newspapers or online. Additionally, you can ask friends and family for recommendations. Once you have narrowed down your search, you can visit the properties in person to get a better feel for the area and decide if it is the right fit for you," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Manila, Philippines.

"I lived in Pasay/Malate first because it was close to my first Uni course. Found the building (Asiawealth Tower) on the net. Second condo was just outside Valle Verde 1, recommended by someone who I knew. Much quieter and richer area. I didn't enjoy it as much. A car would be helpful if you decide to live more than walking distance from the LRT/MRT," commented one expat who made the move to Manila, Philippines.
