**parak21** · March 9th, 2016 04:45 PM

Hello everyone!

My question is where exactly in metro manila should we reside/live? Like for exmple in brgy socorro cubao or brgy oranbo pasig

Im getting married soon and we plan to buy a house or townhouse

We have a budget of around 10M

Here are some of what we need:

Must not be traffic after 9am
Wife travels to makati everyday work
I work in cainta /marikina area
Our son will soon study at lsgh
We have 2 cars
Guarded subdivision not a priority but nice to have

My quest

i would prefer the pasig area than cubao area. masyadong crowded ang cubao area eh.
you may also want to take a look at QC/Diliman area (Teacher's Village area). Your 10M can probably go a long way there.

Sounds like San Juan would be a good place to look. It's sort of equidistant to all the necessary places.

Nice place, I lived there for a while and it does complies with the requirements. But I left Manila and now I live in Singapore, renting is quite expensive here, so soon I'm about to purchase an apartment in a new building, it's still under construction though - piermont-grand-ec.com.sg

I would recommend Mandaluyong as that will be closer to your wife's work & LSGH. Just look for a place that's not flood prone in that part of the Metro.

Ortigas area in Pasig. In order of price level, you have Brgys. Ugong (Valle area), San Antonio, Kapitolyo, Oranbo, and Pineda.

10M might be a bit short for a brand new townhouse in Kapitolyo or San Antonio (roughly 120 sqm, 3 storeys). But with that budget you can get a slightly older townhouse.

Kapitolyo is 45 min-1 hr away from Makati in the morning, 20 min to BGC. Add another 30 min when going home during the evening rush hour.
