Whoah.. OMG! $2,600 is too much.. there are more affordable places in BGC. Rule of the thumb: NEVER work with a realtors in the Philippines! They always have a big chunk (under the table deals with the property management) for them to keep every month. They call it "Partehan".. Your Apartment probably have costs you less that $2,000 or less if you have not chosen that route! Remember, in all places in the world, there will always be scammers. Realtors have to make money somehow and vloggers like you are their favorite victimes because you don't know the clauses in how the innards of their jobs! So sad to hear this!
As mentioned by other commenters. Both parents have raised their children well. I think the kids being exposed to travels and meeting various people eliminated discrimination from their minds, like in terms of race, gender, profession and social class. The kids also show positive mindset most of the time. The parents also did not forget to mention in this vlog about always protecting the family. It is really nice and fun to watch this family.
I’m moving to the Philippines too and planning to visit Indonesia and Singapore soon. Thailand nope not in my list but visiting South Korea next summer. Planning to sell my house and retiring in BGC.
That's so cool! Where are you living currently? We could very well be visiting S Korea at the same time... I think we're looking into spring or summer 👍🏼
BGC will be a good base for you guys. Nice Western lifestyle, good restaurants, amenities, parks, malls, coffee shops, lots of global Asian food brands like Din Tai Fung Tim Ho Wan, Key Coffee, Gram Pancakes, Marugame Udon etc. Plus you can take cheap flights to the paradise islands anytime you want and you're only 3 hours from Singapore, KL, Bangkok, Bali, Guam, Hong Kong etc. It will be a fun lifestyle for sure.
Is Brooklyn going to be the next superstar BGC realtor? We can already picture it: "Million Pesos Listing" BGC edition. We totally love her to pieces! Amazing job, Brooklyn! And by the way, it's only been a few days, but we already miss you guys like crazy ❤️ Come back to us!
Since you're set in the Philippines, I wonder if your kids will study here? There are a few schools of international caliber in bgc like Everest, international school manila, british school manila. @momduty you should consider staying at a house in McKinley hill which is beside a mall. For the same amount you are gonna pay for your condo why not a house
@@AlwaysBeChangingcheck out Serendra as they're a big community and has big grounds. Also Rockwell in Makati will fit you too its classy, attached to a mall and has plenty of nice restaurants
BGC is fully developed today unlike before when I used to stay in Quezon city wayback in 2017. I am glad you guys are getting familiar with that place. Truly that place is very safe. NO SKIPPING OF ADS FOR THE LOCKWOODS PLEASSSSSSEEEEEE!
Happy to see the Besties family reunited . I love the Bond you've created . More success to both Momduty and always be changing. May you have more happy moments together. Merry Christmas in advance.
I loved this ABC family 💞 I'm happy that you choose the Philippines 🇵🇭 as your second home. BGC has it all and ideal place to leave on❤that fits for your family. Clean, safely and the atmosphere is amazing 💞
Oh, I work just a few blocks from here. Been working in BGC for years now and I totally agree that it feels safe and you get a lot of things actually. It has recreation areas, lost of restaurants, parks, business offices, clinics and hospital. So, with a family that has the means to reside here, it's really a good choice.
We are so excited to create even more awesome memories with all of you. We totally love the opening of this video where you brought us back to the very first time we met. It's pretty funny how our kiddos have only seen each other in different countries and never in the USA. Our kids are growing up together, and it's seriously mind-blowing ❤️❤️We love you Lockwoods!
Thanks for loving and and embracing my country Philippines so proud that a lot of foreigners love to live in the Philippines. I have a couple friends decided to retired back home and they love it. You guys take and enjoy the beauty of the city. Watching from Chicago ❤🇺🇸🇵🇭
@@AlwaysBeChanging you guys are fun to watch 😁I haven’t been home almost 6 yrs now and I was amazed by BGC it’s beautiful like everything is right there now. Have fun guys❤️
Since you guys are close together with Mom Duty. You can travel together with them and explore the rest of the Philippines and other countries. I think it would be so cool and fun.
@@AlwaysBeChanging Do they have a choice or are they simply told what to do and smile for the camera? You do know that there are laws against exploiting children on social media.

Just to let you know guys, ‘Yaya’ means nanny. Are you going to have a nanny for your kids or you mean a ‘MAID’? There’s a big difference between a YAYA and a MAID.
Since you won’t be needing a nanny, don’t say Yaya’s quarter, better say ‘Maid’s Quarter’. Again, YAYA means NANNY, it’s not a housekeeper or maid. Just to let you know because you’re in the Philippines.
We love that the kids are excited about it 😊 Our El Nido episodes are out. Hope you like them 🤩 ruclips.net/video/6v04kR5QDOA/видео.htmlsi=i_rP3VEbHd-NG4Bs
I love both channels of the ocampos and the Lockwoods. I’m looking forward to see you guys get together more. I know exactly what you’re talking about the humidity in Manila because I’m here in Manila right now. Being from California I can really feel a big difference of hot weather being in Manila. May you find a perfect condo and stay happy always.
husband speaking age 80 - Health Ins. I didn't have it in 2019 when I caught Dengue Fever, one little mosquito bite, in the hospital for 7 days, no cure, check your white count, cold food, no hot water, Dr. comes by each day, shakes your hand, ( he gets paid on the size of your room ) beautiful ( under paid Nurses ) only slight money back from our U.S. medical ins. I get Ins. now to travel, Filipino wife does not need it for going home. I will check your Safty Wing for sure before leaving this Nov.
We find that travel insurance is surprisingly affordable for the safety net you get when you travel. And some thing will always happen at some point in your life during a trip.
i see y’all here in forbeswood parklane, i’m the one in the front desk!! i greet you “hello” and ma’am is very kind she smile to me!! i was very shy to take picture with y’all, but i hope soon!! ❤️🔥
New subscriber here 🙋🏻♀️ I’ve been binging a lot of your videos and i soooo love the way you guys do your vlogs! Such a great idea to expose your kids to different cultures and people and at the same time showcasing these wondeful places. Wishing more power to your channel guys! And please do stay safe wherever your passion takes you 🙏🏻🥰
With that price point, try checking Condo in Two Serendra. Much more family friendly with bigger living space and amenities. Maridien and Verve are sort of boxed into a block
and now we get to see this wonderful friendship from another perspective. so happy to welcome you to your home away from home and where the heart is. 😊 and to have a spot you like and can afford is a blessing.
Hello family! Couple of thoughts. Before making a commitment make sure to at least check out other options with or without a realtor. Also check out the other neighborhoods like Rockwell and Makati which offer the same security and community as BGC. For 150k, the price is fair but if you want a bargain, I’m sure you can find something lower. 150k makes sense for me if you’re staying 100% of the lease, but if you are going to be traveling a lot, might be better to look for other more cost efficient options. Enjoy and good luck with condo shopping! ❤❤❤
Thanks for that articulate feedback ❤️ We have until Christmas to make a decision, so we'll definitely try to find something for minimal cost that still suits our needs. Your tips are fantastic!
$2,600 - $2,800 apartment in the Philippines means you are rich. But yeah compared to the US like here in Wash. DC that is the price of an apartment , but actually that is cheaper because it is fully furnished. Anyway looking forward to your future videos, like you said earlier your going to Palawan 😊👏
But I Think it’s a little bit Expensive, They Should Check Makati I Think They Can Find A Little Cheaper in Makati And So Many Rich People’s and Elites Live in Makati….. Here in Los Angeles 1 Bedroom Condo or Apartment start of 2300 To 2900 A Months Defend in What Area Too ….. But I Think The LoCkwood is Suited Better in Makati Than BGC ✌️✌️✌️
Aside from the location at BGC, the apartments have some of the best amenities like the gym, pool, conference room etc. For $2,600 and 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms that price is a bargain. Here in NYC, or big cities in the states, $2,600 is a 1 or most 2 bedrooms not right smack in the heart of the city. The first apartment was the best, in terms of everything I believe the Lockwoods' would need.
The buildings are so great! Having a pool and a good gym is important to us. Plus, location is key. There’s no comparison, NY is way more expensive. But we get it, NY is amazing. BGC seems to be the right fit for us.
Oh WOW east meets west. I would love to see you guys in a few years to see how your doing. I'm here with my traditional Filipina asawa in Subic. We met online when she was 19. I'm 65 and we're starting a new family. We love the friendliness and acceptance here. Also we feel very safe too. Hope you enjoy!
Yaya is specifically the term for the children's nanny. The maid/house help is referred to as the katulong or more commonly now, kasambahay. The yaya is NOT the general maid.
Dear Foreigners: Just because you see a skyscraper, it does not mean you are in Manila. BGC is not in Manila. It's in Taguig -- a city that's ~2x the size of Manila. Both Manila and Taguig, however, are part of Metro Manila which is a region composed of 16 cities and 1 municipality.
Try condos in Makati (Salcedo or Legazpi Village). BGC is a bit bland and boring, if you'll explore Makati, you'll love it, have coffee is The Curator, food crawl in Poblacion. Or even find a condo in Poblacion, 3 bed rooms for 50-60k, 140k/mo in BGC is too much.
I absolutely feel the same about BGC. It felt soulless and artificial that I can't really describe it as much lol I stayed there for 2 months and found Makati much more "homey" and livable imho
@@alistairt7544 to each his own. I have a condo in Buendia that I rent out. Makati if not for Rockwell and Ayala doesn’t appeal to me. I don’t feel safe walking at night, most areas even in the main CBD aren’t well lit at all. Lots of potholes, random snatching, if that’s “soul” and “livable” to you I guess be my guest 🤣🤣
There are some safe parts in Makati but remember they got young kids so got to be more conscious about exposing them to homeless and streetwalkers in Burgos. I remember security guys chasing away homeless folks with mental issues trying to get in BGC in the middle of the night they got that going for them at least
I gotta gut feelings your family might end up staying in the Philippines in a few years! Kids are happy,good insurance,new friend and wonder around freely! What not to like compare back here in the US ,too fast paced,always wonder about kids safety,that kind of space will coast you over 4K rent and over!
Be practical you can bought a house and lot in several areas in manila or quezon city,makati,fairview etc. You can visit bgc as long as you like to go. Is cheaper to buy outside bgc. Be practical there are many beautuful places in metro manila and safe.
I think the first and last one is best for me but actually no matter what your Choi anyway it’s your home with your family I hope you can get a nice place that easy for all of you guys and easy access to many places and safe at the same time just enjoy your travel guys hope one day I can go Manila too and visit BGC too someday 😊❤
Dearest Lockwoods, for that budget and with your more outdoorsy ABC lifestyle, i can imagine your tempo place here in the PH to be a beachfront villa in Nasugbu Batangas. Big enough - 6 bedrooms or more - to have MOMDUTY fam stay with you a month or two. :) Be more flexible, a shorter lease term on a condo is better so you can get out more! Of course, plan it with MomDuty. ❤❤❤
On that note, we can find MomDuty a farmhouse to stay for a week in the same area - walkable or"bikeable " to your beachfront stay. Wait --- am being too obvious as a not-big-city kind of girl... but that's me with my 5 centavo sense 😅😅😅
@18:00 BROOKLYN!!! i love how you handled your "job" here gurl - if this is 1st time on real estate, you seem like a PRO already. YOU ROCK !!! Maybe share your scoring system via a YT short feature? :) 😊
you can find lower than that price! Just look for a good real estate broker. You can find even lower than 50K per mo. The good thing about some other condos is they are fully furnished that's why it becomes higher on rental. However, 3 Bedrooms in a hotel vibe is a reasonable price. Vivere is the best option.
It's great you're choosing BGC as a base. But, as I've told/commented to the Ocampos, test the condo's ceilings when it rains. A vlogger, of whose channel is called "BGC Dreams," chose one unit in BGC - and had seen his unit leak when the strong rains came. Funny it happened when they weren't even at the top floor. ... But, then again, maybe it was just that one condo. So, well, you know what you must do in making the final choice for your residency. ... Enjoy your next phase in life ... as you live in BGC. 🙂
We love Christmas in 🇵🇭. We will have to be in the US to spend time with our other daughter for Christmas but we are leaving to come back to the Philippines immediately after. We will be celebrating the new year in Manila.
Wow…$2,500/month! It’s way too expensive if you ask me 😂 I’m pretty sure you can afford it. I don’t get why the bathroom sinks don’t have cabinets, the kitchen’s stove looks weird like that, and the elevator don’t have AC. Keep looking. Have patience. You will find your condo.
@@user-oo3lh1ls4rDepends where in the US. Here where I live, that place would cost more than 3,500. But in Iowa or middle of Nebraska, yeah, that would be too expensive lol
@@alistairt7544I lived in Seattle and the mortgage payment was $1,100/month. 2,300 square feet with 3 bdrms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage. Too many inclusions to write 😂
@@alistairt7544 I'm in Denver you can get a three bedroom apartment here for $1500 a month including water and cable , for $1800 a month you can have the same amenities in Denver Colorado. BGC is way expensive.
@@amaliahightower you can find a nice one bedroom apartment in Denver for only $1300 a month with some utilities included and amenities with swimming pool and a gym. BGC is a click bait for foreigners to rent a condo there.
the first one is the perfect unit for u guys..$2500 a month with all the amenities and fully furnished?its the winner...we pay almost the same rent here in Boston but the apartment is already 20 yrs old😁...
You can get the place for 10% less as there currently is a great oversupply of properties as many Chinese gaming operators have now moved out. Also we did deposit a post dated checks for 12 months
Love watching your vlogs. Enjoy Philippines! Try 5 provinces of Davao next time. You'll gonna love it. Davao del sur, where you can see the Philippine Eagle and taste our beloved durians in Davao City, Davao de Oro, the lane of gold. Davao del Norte, where the beautiful Island city of samal located island after island, Davao Occidental, famous for its numerous caves, falls and beaches and of course Davao Oriental where the dinosaur sleeps in Mati. More power Lockwood Family!
Thanks for watching us on both. Our original channel is this one, Always Be Changing. We created Live The Philippines - By Always Be Changing to vlog about our life in PH as we find and keep a home in BGC. This channel is going to remain and international family travel channel, while the other is daily life.
Hi fam... everyone looks excited for this next move... Erin, that humidity sure suits you haha, how is it working for you? Btw, a woman who carries a cloth to dab her man's brow = wow. Good job on trying out another home base. Blessings, Indian

Whoah.. OMG! $2,600 is too much.. there are more affordable places in BGC. Rule of the thumb: NEVER work with a realtors in the Philippines! They always have a big chunk (under the table deals with the property management) for them to keep every month. They call it "Partehan"..
Your Apartment probably have costs you less that $2,000 or less if you have not chosen that route! Remember, in all places in the world, there will always be scammers. Realtors have to make money somehow and vloggers like you are their favorite victimes because you don't know the clauses in how the innards of their jobs!
So sad to hear this!
The use of 'May' and 'Please' by the kids when placing their order is just amazing! You guys are raising them well!
❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗
As mentioned by other commenters. Both parents have raised their children well. I think the kids being exposed to travels and meeting various people eliminated discrimination from their minds, like in terms of race, gender, profession and social class. The kids also show positive mindset most of the time. The parents also did not forget to mention in this vlog about always protecting the family. It is really nice and fun to watch this family.
Thanks so much 😎 We do the best we know how and you’re 💯 about how universally loving these kids are. It’s so pure and inspiring even to us!
I’m moving to the Philippines too and planning to visit Indonesia and Singapore soon. Thailand nope not in my list but visiting South Korea next summer. Planning to sell my house and retiring in BGC.
That's so cool! Where are you living currently? We could very well be visiting S Korea at the same time... I think we're looking into spring or summer 👍🏼
BGC will be a good base for you guys. Nice Western lifestyle, good restaurants, amenities, parks, malls, coffee shops, lots of global Asian food brands like Din Tai Fung Tim Ho Wan, Key Coffee, Gram Pancakes, Marugame Udon etc. Plus you can take cheap flights to the paradise islands anytime you want and you're only 3 hours from Singapore, KL, Bangkok, Bali, Guam, Hong Kong etc. It will be a fun lifestyle for sure.

Just to let you know guys, ‘Yaya’ means nanny. Are you going to have a nanny for your kids or you mean a ‘MAID’? There’s a big difference between a YAYA and a MAID.
We will likely get a housekeeper eventually but the kids are old enough they don’t need a nanny.
Since you won’t be needing a nanny, don’t say Yaya’s quarter, better say ‘Maid’s Quarter’. Again, YAYA means NANNY, it’s not a housekeeper or maid. Just to let you know because you’re in the Philippines.
Friendly suggestion: Always look for budget housing, food etc. People follow you if they can relate with you.
We appreciate that. We want to stay authentic to our experience though.

Aside from the location at BGC, the apartments have some of the best amenities like the gym, pool, conference room etc. For $2,600 and 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms that price is a bargain. Here in NYC, or big cities in the states, $2,600 is a 1 or most 2 bedrooms not right smack in the heart of the city. The first apartment was the best, in terms of everything I believe the Lockwoods' would need.
The buildings are so great! Having a pool and a good gym is important to us. Plus, location is key. There’s no comparison, NY is way more expensive. But we get it, NY is amazing. BGC seems to be the right fit for us.
Amazing friendship at BGC. Love it ❤
Yes 🥰 the absolute best of friends!
loved it!!!!! ❤ hope you guys had fun here in the Philippines. God bless
Yes! Thank you!
Oh WOW east meets west. I would love to see you guys in a few years to see how your doing. I'm here with my traditional Filipina asawa in Subic. We met online when she was 19. I'm 65 and we're starting a new family. We love the friendliness and acceptance here. Also we feel very safe too. Hope you enjoy!
I bet our paths will cross at some point!
Its very expensive for 2500. Thers a lot apartments range 1000-1500
I bet there will be a wide range of value to cost.
Yes! Always safety first. ♥️😘
Always!
Will definitely tune in for your next adventure specially your upcoming safari trip 🦓🐘
Yay! We can’t wait to experience the safari too!
Yaya is specifically the term for the children's nanny. The maid/house help is referred to as the katulong or more commonly now, kasambahay. The yaya is NOT the general maid.
Yes… We have learned quite a bit about this in the time since we posted the episode. 😄 We now have a great helper (ate Maricel) in our BGC condo.👍🏼
@@AlwaysBeChanging You're so lucky! It's not very easy these days to find helpers who are willing to live in anymore.
Dear Foreigners:
Just because you see a skyscraper, it does not mean you are in Manila.
BGC is not in Manila. It's in Taguig -- a city that's ~2x the size of Manila.
Both Manila and Taguig, however, are part of Metro Manila which is a region composed of 16 cities and 1 municipality.
🫥
Try condos in Makati (Salcedo or Legazpi Village). BGC is a bit bland and boring, if you'll explore Makati, you'll love it, have coffee is The Curator, food crawl in Poblacion. Or even find a condo in Poblacion, 3 bed rooms for 50-60k, 140k/mo in BGC is too much.
Safety in Makati isn’t so great and it’s not walkable especially at night. But yeah 150K for the units shown is a bit too much even for BGC standards.
I absolutely feel the same about BGC. It felt soulless and artificial that I can't really describe it as much lol I stayed there for 2 months and found Makati much more "homey" and livable imho
@@alistairt7544 to each his own. I have a condo in Buendia that I rent out. Makati if not for Rockwell and Ayala doesn’t appeal to me. I don’t feel safe walking at night, most areas even in the main CBD aren’t well lit at all. Lots of potholes, random snatching, if that’s “soul” and “livable” to you I guess be my guest 🤣🤣
There are some safe parts in Makati but remember they got young kids so got to be more conscious about exposing them to homeless and streetwalkers in Burgos. I remember security guys chasing away homeless folks with mental issues trying to get in BGC in the middle of the night they got that going for them at least
Sounds like a bargain! We’ve stayed in makati and loved it 👍🏼
I gotta gut feelings your family might end up staying in the Philippines in a few years!
Kids are happy,good insurance,new friend and wonder around freely!
What not to like compare back here in the US ,too fast paced,always wonder about kids safety,that kind of space will coast you over 4K rent and over!
Our oldest daughter heads to college in less than 2 years and then we could actually live abroad full-time... so you may very well be correct! 🤔
Be practical you can bought a house and lot in several areas in manila or quezon city,makati,fairview etc. You can visit bgc as long as you like to go. Is cheaper to buy outside bgc. Be practical there are many beautuful places in metro manila and safe.
We know it’s cheaper outside BGC but we really want the walkability and lifestyle in the city.
The ist unit was pretty cool.
We liked that one too 😊
bgc 🌁 is like having ur very own oasis with nyc vibes minus the nyc price(s)
Yes!! We agree and that’s what we love about it 🤩
Looks like a great place! Always fun and convenient to live in the ever-growing BGC.
Yes indeed! We love this area
love watching u guys…
🥰🫶 thank you!
I like your family. Keep enjoying your stay in the Phls.
always be pressing the LIKE button
Thank you! 👏🏼👍🏻🫶🤩
@@AlwaysBeChanging sure
I think the first and last one is best for me but actually no matter what your Choi anyway it’s your home with your family I hope you can get a nice place that easy for all of you guys and easy access to many places and safe at the same time just enjoy your travel guys hope one day I can go Manila too and visit BGC too someday 😊❤
Thank you so much 😊 we appreciate the support 🫶
Dearest Lockwoods,
for that budget and with your more outdoorsy ABC lifestyle, i can imagine your tempo place here in the PH to be a beachfront villa in Nasugbu Batangas.
Big enough - 6 bedrooms or more - to have MOMDUTY fam stay with you a month or two. :)
Be more flexible, a shorter lease term on a condo is better so you can get out more!
Of course, plan it with MomDuty. ❤❤❤
On that note, we can find MomDuty a farmhouse to stay for a week in the same area - walkable or"bikeable " to your beachfront stay.
Wait --- am being too obvious as a not-big-city kind of girl... but that's me with my 5 centavo sense 😅😅😅
@18:00 BROOKLYN!!! i love how you handled your "job" here gurl - if this is 1st time on real estate, you seem like a PRO already.
YOU ROCK !!!
Maybe share your scoring system via a YT short feature? :) 😊
That would be the dream 🤩 We’ll at least start with an apartment in BGC 😊 AND YES plan it with MomDuty 👍🏻
She was an absolute pro!!
Awesome vlog. I want to live in BGC. I might buy another 3BR condo in BGC.
Thank you 😊 We love BGC 🫶
you should also consider how much the electricity bill. The type of appliances the condos have... it makes a huge difference!!
Excellent tip! 🙏🏼
you can find lower than that price! Just look for a good real estate broker. You can find even lower than 50K per mo. The good thing about some other condos is they are fully furnished that's why it becomes higher on rental. However, 3 Bedrooms in a hotel vibe is a reasonable price. Vivere is the best option.
We liked Verve the best too. But we’re still looking 😊
Renting? Suggest to just buy a unit, It will be cheaper if you extend the payment for multiple of yrs.
We'll definitely consider that for a year or two down the road when we have the freedom to live outside of the US 👍🏼
Instead of Renting you must try to look for a Rent to own property that's the good investment.
Sounds like a popular opinion (and one we might pursue in about 1.5 years when we could make a longer-term commitment). Thanks!
It's great you're choosing BGC as a base. But, as I've told/commented to the Ocampos, test the condo's ceilings when it rains. A vlogger, of whose channel is called "BGC Dreams," chose one unit in BGC - and had seen his unit leak when the strong rains came. Funny it happened when they weren't even at the top floor. ... But, then again, maybe it was just that one condo. So, well, you know what you must do in making the final choice for your residency. ... Enjoy your next phase in life ... as you live in BGC. 🙂
Thanks for the heads-up! We already started a list of things to look out for before committing to a place, so we'll keep this in mind, too. 👍🏼
@@AlwaysBeChanging You're welcome.
Welcome home!
Thank you! Feels so good to be in BGC
Can't wait to see you guys here in ElNido!
I have so many suggestions for yall to visit here in ElNido
We just left El Nido! It was a 5-day visit, but please let us know where to visit when we're back next year! 🤗
You should seriously consider being in Manila during the christmas season
No doubt we will soon, but not this year. We will be back in the US with our oldest daughter who is 16. But we fly back to Manila on Christmas day. 👍🏼
We love Christmas in 🇵🇭. We will have to be in the US to spend time with our other daughter for Christmas but we are leaving to come back to the Philippines immediately after. We will be celebrating the new year in Manila.
I think the first one is much better.
💯💯
Wow…$2,500/month! It’s way too expensive if you ask me 😂 I’m pretty sure you can afford it. I don’t get why the bathroom sinks don’t have cabinets, the kitchen’s stove looks weird like that, and the elevator don’t have AC. Keep looking. Have patience. You will find your condo.
I'm from Manila and that's way so expensive, it's a lot more cheaper in the US🤗👍😊
@@user-oo3lh1ls4rDepends where in the US. Here where I live, that place would cost more than 3,500. But in Iowa or middle of Nebraska, yeah, that would be too expensive lol
@@alistairt7544I lived in Seattle and the mortgage payment was $1,100/month. 2,300 square feet with 3 bdrms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garage. Too many inclusions to write 😂
@@alistairt7544 I'm in Denver you can get a three bedroom apartment here for $1500 a month including water and cable , for $1800 a month you can have the same amenities in Denver Colorado. BGC is way expensive.
@@amaliahightower you can find a nice one bedroom apartment in Denver for only $1300 a month with some utilities included and amenities with swimming pool and a gym. BGC is a click bait for foreigners to rent a condo there.
I think u can negotiate with the prices
Pretty sure you're right 😉
Okay, so I saw you guys on momduty channel. Welcome to the Philippines!
We’ll we have that in common… we both LOVE Mom Duty ❤️🥰🤗
Brooklyn and Colt are the best😂
They're pretty dang special 🥰
You may also consider to find a leased to own condo in BGC. It’s much economical
Could be a good idea maybe for the next lease. One year to see if BGC will work for us longer term is probably a nice test. 👍🏼
the first one is the perfect unit for u guys..$2500 a month with all the amenities and fully furnished?its the winner...we pay almost the same rent here in Boston but the apartment is already 20 yrs old😁...
We agree! Just need to wait for the right timing as we get closer to January. 👍🏻
Oww!!" Smart Kid's!!'..
Thanks! Ya, they’re little brainiacs 😄
You can get the place for 10% less as there currently is a great oversupply of properties as many Chinese gaming operators have now moved out. Also we did deposit a post dated checks for 12 months
Good to know. Thanks! We have a little of time so we can still shop around
Love watching your vlogs. Enjoy Philippines! Try 5 provinces of Davao next time. You'll gonna love it. Davao del sur, where you can see the Philippine Eagle and taste our beloved durians in Davao City, Davao de Oro, the lane of gold. Davao del Norte, where the beautiful Island city of samal located island after island, Davao Occidental, famous for its numerous caves, falls and beaches and of course Davao Oriental where the dinosaur sleeps in Mati. More power Lockwood Family!
Thank you for watching us! We definitely plan to visit Davao. Hopefully we can work that out in January.
Brooklyn can be a star here in The Philippines. She has this vibe that is so lovabale and likeable by Pinoys. #Manifesting ❤
🥰🥰🥰
Lezzzzz Goooooooooo!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Let’s goooo 🫶
Welcome! Too Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you!
I love the lockwood family
Awww we ❤️ U too 🥰
@@AlwaysBeChanging 🥰
It’ll increase subscribers and viewers.
No doubt, but we're more concerned with seeing @MomDuty even more :)
$2,600 in new york you get peter parker's flat where the door is still not fixed
And the city in BGC is so safe and clean. We can’t wait to really live there.
Verve Resindence in One maridien im Working Building Maintenance thank u For Visiting ihope chose to living
That's so cool! Hopefully we start seeing you the building from time to time! 👍🏼
Wow congratulations 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! 🤗
150k per month to expensive. Maybe around manila new high rise building. You can get 30-50k per month
Not for a three bedroom unit. Plus we really want to be in BGC. We love the walkability and the family friendliness for the kids.
Is this your 1st account. I am watching you on your 2nd channel
Thanks for watching us on both. Our original channel is this one, Always Be Changing. We created Live The Philippines - By Always Be Changing to vlog about our life in PH as we find and keep a home in BGC. This channel is going to remain and international family travel channel, while the other is daily life.
Hi fam... everyone looks excited for this next move... Erin, that humidity sure suits you haha, how is it working for you? Btw, a woman who carries a cloth to dab her man's brow = wow. Good job on trying out another home base. Blessings, Indian
