Hi Ron, Good video. I guess I'll be looking for a small house when I finally get back to Cebu. This area is kinda close to my house in Mandaue. Take care and thank you for the peace I get from watching your videos
Thanks Kiana. My friend is paying about 18k for a similar house. I think house and condo rental prices will stay depressed for another year. You have to negotiate as some still want the booming economy price. There are thousands of vacancies presently.
Having lived in houses, in retrospect, I prefer the simpler condo life that we're living now. Nice to not have a car and nice to have a pool. Great video. Thanks.
This is one of the best Videos I've ever seen that finally show some decent housing. Rod, if you look in the comments some of the guy's here mention other subdivision too for you to check out for us guy's in the states wanting to know where decent housing is b4 coming to the Philippines. Is there roosters in the subdivisions?
Thanks Tom. There are many subdivisions on Mactan and quite a few in Cebu metro also with thousands of them sitting empty for a years so prices will probably be depressed for at least another year Tom. Some are still trying to get the pre-pandemic price.
I'm not Rod, but I would like to give my 2 cents, too.😄 Based on my experiences near to all of the gated (!) subdivisions have a strict policy. Roosters and pigs and other farm animals are not allowed. Pets (like for e.g. cats and dogs) are temporary allowed. That temporary permission expands automatically, if your pets do not annoy your neighbars. And if your permanently barking dog annoys your neighbars, then you should expect the permission will not get expanded.
Hey Rod, i rented there for 1 year back in 2014 and found it quiet enough, had to get internet in and Sky cable, but did us fine back then. I expect the houses are a bit older types and in need of renovating now. My 2c.😁
Thanks for sharing that Kiwi. I am always surprised that many places I look at are not cleaned up and ready to show and rent. Part of the culture here I guess.
Omg i miss my neighbours here haha I've rented in this Subdivision for 6mos i just left this month. It's a good and safe place to live esp for a foreigner like you
Oh WOW you were in my Subdivision Rod! I’m renting exactly the same 4 bedroom house in Collinwood fully furnished with 5 ductless split units in each rooms (Samsung very quite units) My house they wanted 23k in beginning but I told them I will sign one year lease only if they lower their price to 17k per month on which I got declined right away but the owner actually called me the next day and agree to my terms 17k per month or one year. Now we also pay 1500 or Security and water use all in one monthly bill. We run Aircon all day and my electricity bill on average 5-6k and PLDT Fiber 100Mbps is 1800 per month. I know another house here or rent with 2 bedrooms fully furnished asking only 18k but I’m sure they will take 15k if anyone is looking or house here.
@@steveyi2690 absolutely not, now maybe because I’m in Phase 1 on St. Pedro street and it’s much further away from airport but still it’s same subdivision and it’s pretty quite here near my house.
Thanks for sharing that Yuri. My friend is paying 18K for a similar house in that subdivision so I suspect it is negotiable with many sitting vacant. I think prices will stay depressed for at least another year before tourism gets back on track.
Hi, what a good rate! What size floor area if you don’t mind? I’m renting in a Mactan subdivision too but paying 33k monthly with a 12 months lease and this is already discounted from 40k. Now I think my rent is overpriced.
Hello Rod, liking the property vids. Next door is Brentwood apartments built by Primary homes. Nice in side did included a parking space in the price. Small unit a bike space. I believe still have some units left. 14sqm is why the smallest is still available.😆
I once looked at an apartment in CDO someone recommended to me. It was a one bedroom place that was behind some businesses in a back alley. The rent price was good, but being in the alley wasn't. Anyway, my daughter and I went in, and it was a typical filipino one bedroom apartment. Living area, bathroom and "kitchen" on the first floor, bedroom on the second. The place was a pig sty, no joke. It was filthy. The CR looked and smelled like 52 blind people couldn't quite find the toilet. The property manager (a woman I had an instant dislike for) came in, and I mentioned the filth. She didn't like me, either, and said the place would be cleaned before a new tenant moved in. She also told me she could rent the place out to a "deserving" Filipino family any time she liked.
I agree Jane. I really do not like living behind walls, gates, and barbed wire that most of the houses on the street have so a subdivision offers some security without the feeling of being "locked in". I do like the view from higher floors in the condos but it comes at a cost.
It is not unusual here to see a house for sale or rent not in the "proper" condition to show for many of us foreigners Chris. A bit surprised many times.
There are lots of places available Stephen. October is coming up fast. Email me at amazingPhilippinesdoitnow@gmail.com and let me know what you are looking for and your budget.
Hi Stephen, I'm Romel, i have house for rent in this same subdivision. Its going to be available this October, if you are still looking for a place let me know
Our house is there in Collinwood. I'm retiring next year in June 2022 and will be back permanently to live. Those are condominiums outside of Collinwood.
Nice to know that much space is available for 600 in a gated community, that means I can probably find a nicer place about half size in a similar community for a similar price i would think?
As far as I can see in this video, the houses in that subdivision have been built by Primary Homes, with steel reinforced poured concrete walls instead of the weak hollow blocks. You can find the same type of houses in the subdivisions called "Royal Palms" in Panglao, in Argao, and in some locations in Cebu City.
I think this is a Primary Homes project lamberko. I also appreciate the sturdier build with reinforcing. I always appreciate your insight and experience on these subjects.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 Same like you, I always like to see houses and condos built in a proper way. Not only the chosen material, but also the way they've installed the electricity (grounding/earthing) and plumping. 99% of the real estate in the Philippines are built in a quality I could never accept and therefore I would never buy. But there is that small 1% what catches my attention. Even if that 1% is still not on the same level of quality like in the USA or Europe. But at least there is some serious progress going on. I wish they would ban the weak hollow blocks. But the Philippines' build-code in general is a topic worth a discussion. That's why I watch and appreciate your videos so much, when you walk through the condos and you check the quality of the windows, doors, amount of power outlets, water pressure, noise and heat insulation, and so on. For many people maybe just some more or less important details, but for you and me these details will tell you exactly the level of quality. You don't get distracted by new plaster and fresh paint, because you know that's just cosmetic and tells you nothing. I really appreciate your videos. 👍👍👍
Most of the low cost units are not listed online Mark and You find them by asking Filipinos and walking neighborhoods looking for "For Rent" signs on poles or gates. I will do a video if I stumble upon the units. Thanks.
Hi, Rod.I'm really interested in this area. I know you did the video about three years ago so I was wondering if you happened to know the latest about this area. Thanks
The strange thing is that I seldom see a mosquito in the 5 areas of town I have lived in. I open my door and windows of my condo often for some breeze and seldom see a fly or other flying insect. Maybe they spray.
Rod just saying I think you need to be more budget conscious 600 is way to much for most.Now land lease homes dirt cheap.Pete of property management australian blogger 279 a month beach house subic for 10 year lease but I think you could do better.
For me you can only express what the asking price is whether high or low just negotiate, the thing i like about these videos is you get an independent view and can see if it may suit ones needs....
It is negotiable Tony, but the were asking 30K/month. Fees for houses are generally quite low compared to condos, but I am not sure of the price. Contact the agent for more details.
It's got good bones but like you I don't want to have to buy furniture, it's wasted money. I was in property rentals in my 20's. Why people show properties dirty escapes me, it no way to rent a property quickly.
Thanks Gemmel. I move too often and want to travel quite a bit more also. All of my apartments in the USA were unfurnished and I bought and moved the furniture too often.

Wow! Great vid rod! I'm from that block, our house is just a few steps away from that house for rent.
Looks like a nice area Evanser.
You’re voice is very similar to that of George Noory from coast to coast a m, good showing and informative thanks for posting 👍
Thanks. I have heard that before and also enjoy Noory.
Great video. Your voice reminds me of a channel I follow called Coffee with the Goose! 👍

I kind of agree with you Ralph. The security is important to me also.
Agree a condo is much nicer got a gym there usually and a nice pool and less roosters!!

Interesting John. I am always surprised when I see many of these places not ready to show if they really want to rent them or sell them.
Absolutely, they haven't got a clue.
Very nice option other than a condo. You can have unlimited guests in a house also. Thank 👍
Thanks and good point Todd.
Hi Rod. It's nice if you live inside a gated community. It makes you feel your semi protected from undesirable people.
I agree Jane. I really do not like living behind walls, gates, and barbed wire that most of the houses on the street have so a subdivision offers some security without the feeling of being "locked in". I do like the view from higher floors in the condos but it comes at a cost.
I have a frnd stay thier i already visit there also"i like that place so peaceful
Thanks Ash.
very nice house
this is so pure , I was there. Mactan Cebu
Thanks Jay-Ric.
Amazing that they would show a place in that condition!! There's dust and garbage everywhere.
It is not unusual here to see a house for sale or rent not in the "proper" condition to show for many of us foreigners Chris. A bit surprised many times.
Great!! Hey can you cover Dagupan city in your further videos??
Thanks Siya. Travel is a bit restricted and risky at this time but I do hope to travel much more.
Thank you so much. I'm hoping to be in Mactan Newtown in October??? Looking for a place to rent long term..
Good luck, Stephen!

This is my home i would say it is well maintanined
Thanks Gemma for sharing this info.
Is this really your home is it still vacant? I'm going to Philippines in 4 months and would love to rent it
Wouldnt you like around Talisay? There are lots of houses for rentals there as well. They are just close to SM in SRP.
I prefer the city but I think there are many who are interested in Talisay Marites.
wow really high price for what you get. so many for far less
I think this is probably negotiable as there are many going for less.
Ok can you do some videos showing rental property for around 10000 pecos a month please

Hi, Rod.I'm really interested in this area.
I know you did the video about three years ago so I was wondering if you happened to know the latest about this area. Thanks
I have not been up there in about a year Kiana but I like the area and it is close enough to the uptown area and malls.
@AmazingPhilippines1 thanks, Rod
With all the mosquitoes...... There 😱why no screens? On windows?
The strange thing is that I seldom see a mosquito in the 5 areas of town I have lived in. I open my door and windows of my condo often for some breeze and seldom see a fly or other flying insect. Maybe they spray.
Try houses in Anami Homes Mactan,,also in Basak nearby also in Grandmall.very clean and not crowded subdivision...just give you an option..
Thanks Gina. I know there are many subdivisions on Mactan and also in the Cebu metro area, so lots of options.
I did not see any roosters 🐓 Rod!😂
I could hear some, maybe outside of the subdivision Madame Brunhilda.
Nice place .
