- A LOOK AT A $400 U.S.D. HOUSE RENTAL - SAN JAUN LA UNION - WE ARE THINKING ABOUT MOVING
One of the things we wanted to do when we were in San Juan was to look at the cost of living in the area. We found a sign on a house that said it was for rent. Location seems to be the key for prices of renting. Closer to the beach means higher rent. Farther away from the beach the price of rent goes down.

Angeles City Philippines
About me : Retired American Expat Brian & Filipina wife Luisa, living in the Angeles City / Clark Pampanga Philippines.
No such thing as no crime how come the neighborhoods have higher walls than that place. SECURITY gates also are needed on the windows and doors as a American who sometimes is known as well off to some who have little you may seem ripe for the picking.
Brian has been living in the Philippines for several years now. I'm quite certain he knows what the deal is. Try watching some of his videos.
For just over US $400/month and given it's location...lots of pluses there. It's at least, something to consider seriously. Nice one Lot & Brian.
Really great review of the house. You will get a little traffic on the weekends with trikes going up and down that street to the Hotels at the end. just fyi. and the window to the bedrooms face the street. Brian, it would be really cool if you and your family live up here! Sunsets everynight right on the beach. I'll keep a look out for you of other houses that come up for rent. Internet is fast here if you get: Lueco. $2,500 / month. super fast... I've only had a few brownouts here in the last 7 1/2 months. and they only lasted say 5 to 30 minutes long (3 of them ) . There was one scheduled brown out back in Feb. But it was scheduled.. to upgrade power lines.. and it was for 7 hours.
Internet 2500 bucks (USD) a month....it better be fast.....lol :) You know you mean 2500 pesos.......lol cheers
What I see is clean area . No trash on the side of roads in your videos , fresh air by ocean with breezes. Lots to check into before moving . Very nice vblogs on your trip . Stay safe and sane all !
Hi Brian, it's a little decieving right now with no traffic it can take up to 5 hours to go from Angeles to San Juan depending on the day & time of year & the majority of that is when you leave the tollways & get on McArthur Hwy. Traffic is crazy from Agoo to past San Juan on weekends, more than the roads can handle. It is a nice area but things are pricey because its a tourist area. There is a large expat community that hangs together & an excellent branch of the Hash house harriers (a running club with a drinking problem). The malls are not large by any means & it is a quieter slower paced area to live, but there is plenty to see & many areas to adventure to from San Juan. We own a lot in Bacnotan at the beach (2 minute walk, can see the water) just north of San Juan but have been delaying building there to be sure that is the area we want to live as it is quiter & at least 1.5 hours drive to a large SM & there is no S&R close. So it has its benefits & drawbacks, its all about your lifestyle & what you are looking for out of life.
Traffic will soon be solved. They are building an extension of the TPLEX highway from Rosario to San Juan (next phase) & later all the way to Laoag so expressway all the way to Manila shortly
@@milomilo417 That will be a definite plus when finished.
Obviously there are pros and cons regarding any move. Lot has put great effort into building up the store, HG seems happy and settled at school. It can be hard on youngsters moving to another province. The main language up there is Ilocano, not everyone speaks English and Tagalog. On the plus side, nice beach area, quieter, fresh air. Good luck with whatever choice you make.
Aloha Brian, you hit a homerun. I have been there a few times in the past couple of years and loved it. I am a white kid from Hawaii that loves the ocean and surfing. I am truly thinking of retiring therein a couple of years. Glad you had a great adventure. Stay safe and keep the videos coming. Mahalo Plenty, Scottie
Was born in La Union, $400 too expensive, but San Juan area is too expensive now. My aunt used to rent a 3 br apartment just in front of what is now El Union Coffee for $100 a month, but that was way back around 2005. La union is very nice place to retire. I will be retiring there after 30 more years in US. I hope it stays same as peaceful as the last 30 years.
If you like the La Union Area.. especially San Juan.. I do alot of videos of places and vlog the whole area. You can see the changes that are happening here now! Over 130 videos of different areas throughout San Juan la Unoin. just fyi.. ;-)
You and Lot should go ahead and find a nice neighbourhood and go ahead and built your own home, have it built the way you want..
that house was a shit hole not worth 400 bucks a month but the San Union place was beautiful
Ocean access sounds great but the locals might be afraid I’d leave a ring around the ocean ( like a bathtub) and I would be afraid the locals would keep trying to unbeach me and push me back into the ocean. Nice video Philly, thanks!
You could always try and do a deal with the owner where the cost of the security fence is deducted from the rent (over a longer rental period) then the owner doesn't have to pay out and you get the fence you want, and the property is improved 👍
Very beautiful and peaceful place for vacation. Boring to live and Wi-Fi is almost impossible Bec all the slots will be already taken. There's some foreigners but not as much as Angeles. Then try and find someone you click with.
Nice area, we always go down to the beach there from our house in Baguio.
That rental house is overpriced for what it offers. I have learned in the Philippines you never rent a house until after all work is done.
What about Lot's business, and your vlog.
All i can say is i love the area so cannot say anything bad about your choice to possibly move up there.
Love your videos. Great closing shot. Look forward to your videos every day. Your honesty is refreshing.
Morning guys, thanks for posting. After finding out the weather, I go to your blog see where you have been, what you are up to and where you are going. Always a relaxing show. Thanks guys, love watching you.
Looks good, nice place, my wife said some family lives in La union, i have never been there....
Is it cool low temps there like baugio? If you like it, save up, buy a lot, and slowly build a home there...no more rent...
No crime? Until they know a 'rich' white guy is living there. Id be adding window bars as a priority.
Those are the old style / new style with the bars on the inside of the window!! The problem is any shift in the house makes it hard to close the windows, everything gets all bent out of shape!!! Sometimes breaks the glass to.
San Juan seems very nice and appealing. To me much better lifestyle than Angeles City with the huge bonus of the beach and safety. I remember the first time you showed your house my first impression was the evident need for high security. The house can be nice depending on how extensive they remodel it. I would think that you should be able to get something similar in quality to what yo have now at no more than you are currently spending. Best of luck, life is short so go where you will enjoy it the most.
looking in moving there myself my filipina born, Australian wife has a house we built on the mothers land in bicol its nice but all the relatives are driving me nuts when i travel there la union looks like a nice spot i would rent a smaller place or buy a new condo in my foreign name just looking into my options la union has good food places nice beach.much better than a/c.
.........follow yer heart bro........the Ilocos Region is one of the most laid back provinces of the PH and if ya like a little peace, i agree it's a good place to be .......have fun Brian......... :)
San Fernando North, La Union is nice. Ocean and Baguio nearby. Not Angeles and you better give that some thought. Eassssyyyy living but once the sun goes down it is.... dark.
2 minutes from beach,? I'm all in,. .. great photage what can I use for the sunsets?
Im sensitive to noise, One street is enough , 2 is too many, sqweeky trike brakes etc, stop and go sound, thru traffic , No privacy , Id look for a place on a private drive. Keep looking. Sounds like a nice area.
Good Brian whatever choice you do will be fine who cares what others think...
Our 2 floor townhouse was right on the ocean. Next door to Flotsom Jetsom. 16,000 pesos a month.
Yeah Brian, the house has potential as well as the area for business.
Keep it up.
not bad m8, not bad at all! i'd agree, i'd like a high fence for privacy an protection. which way an how far to the beach? theres 1 thing being up at dawn [
@lo ko kool ty m8!
Hey Brian nice views as always take care of yourself and your family and friends Thanks and God pls you Brian...🍻
I think I would want to move just for the clean air and ocean breeze. Good luck on your decision.
I stayed just outside San Juan a couple of years ago, in a beach-front surfing resort. Being near to San Fernando which has everything you need and everyone was very friendly and helpful especially the trike and jeepney drivers. It was a great jumping-off point for Baguio, and there are local falls and cave burial sites and a regular bus service to Manila and Angeles City. Lovely place.
My wife's sister just moved to San Fernando a few yrs ago an built a house in a gated community. It's amazing. Wherever you go in that area it's all good choices ☺️
There’s a saying good fences make good neighbors
I would move there in a heartbeat. Moving close to a beach like that expands your mind and living space. Once the house is renovated, $400 per month is a pretty good deal.
I'm with you there about being a half hour away from a bigger city.
I did the Ilocos tour back in 2017 and we passed by La Union. I think we stopped at Jollibee in San Juan. It was definitely a place that really stood out to me. Seems like very interesting place indeed.
Another good video I see the potential in the House cosmetics can change the appearance drastically.
Yikes, I would pass on that house.
Good to see that You and Lot had a nice relaxing time!
There isn't nothing like watching a sunrise from the flight deck of a carrier in the middle of the indian ocean
What a great spot Brian , my wife has a large house in bicol near the beach which i had built just like that area, pity i cant travel due to the chimmp i usually stay 6 months in Australia 6 months in Philippines beautiful at night watching the sun set overlooking the mayon volcano .plenty of Americans and Aussies now living in the area .
I moved to Bauang area right after Pinatubo blew up for about a year and a half. It was nice up there. The beach was still there back then. Couldn't believe it all got washed away. It did get a little boring after a year or so. Ended up moving back to Angeles after the dust settled. Did enjoy the beach being right there though. Also spent part of that time living in Poro Point.
It may be a better place for you guys to live and for your daughter to grow up
Thanks Brian for the house information. I want to move to a beach city next year and San Juan is a possibility.
I hope you had a chance to checkout the palengke in San Fernando. It has a wide variety of great produce that is shipped in fresh daily from Benguet. The fresh seafood is also awesome and cheap. You are only an hour from cooler climate in Baguio and La Union as you know has water you can swim in unlike Subic. The schools are decent and it's not congested like the dust bowl of Angeles.
Brian :) Middle of remodeling??? So it will be finished at some point in 2023 :) I have been here in the Philippines long enough to know....lastly as my Filipina's wife parents once told me...."Here in the Philippines it looks great on the outside but not so great on the inside...as in they will always cut corners to save costs, so make sure the Electrical wiring is safe as we had problems.....I Rent a 3 bed House in Metro Manila and pay PHP60,000 per month! My Wife and I are moving back to my Home Country (Scotland) in Feb 2021 and renting a 3 bed House in the Centre of Edinburgh for the same Price as here.....just shows how things here in PH are really F****D up, lastly on a positive side I think it is a great move for you to move to San Juan as Angeles City is DEAD!
The small Room can be for your RUclips Empire Brian :)
I would think the air would be fresh coming of the water..We know the air in Angeles is a giant sewer
You gotta think serious Brian. Your house in Angeles is soooo much better and with the advantages of amenities there it's a no brainer. I went to San Fernando years ago. So boring. Not that I like Angeles so much. It's a crap hole but better than most places and probably safer than most. Got the best Mexican resto. And don't forget Lotts doing well her business.
Wow what a great area, San Juan and yes SF Hungry Jack's, then of course there's Baguio City only a Little over hour away...I want to move there...oh yes I'm...already there in Naguilian LaUnion...haha great sell Brian❤️❤️
I see you have been doing these bloggs for a long time. I live in San Juan la union and just started my own channel. Superman Philippines.. like to visit sometime. Great day....
San Fernando is kind of a college town similar to AC, so if you can do a business attracting students, you will do good. Tutoring, buying and selling (recycle) used college books, computer PC repair, upgrade and get parts from Manila if you travel much you are the next Amazon delivery service. Most college students are over 18 now since K-12 started so they can sign a contract if you do some type of rental service in your wifes name of course.
Nice place, could be beautiful with some remodeling, but a ocean beach front would be my Choice!
Nice area for sure. Could Lot open a Sari store there? Many reason to stay and many to go. Tough decision for sure. Schools?
Leaving all the pollution and filth behind, what's not to like? Angeles is only going to get worse.....I would be in La Union like a shot. Would look forward to your vlogs on the Streets of San Fernando.....lol.
Great video Brian, I have a question. I haven’t seen any videos from Philo in the Philippines and Melanie in quite some time. Are they ok?
lovet97 yes are they ok
If being near the city and the beach is important, try somewhere like Binmaley or Lingayen Pangasinan. Nicer beaches, IMO, very fine sand and probably cheaper than that place for the same quality, then you're only about 20 mins from Dagupan City by car, a slightly bigger city than San Fernando.
20,000 peso or $400 per month is foreigner price which is too high for that beat-up house and lot and block walls around the rock yard. Need to see it after a hard rain and check for standing water and dengue. Make sure the water drains away from the house all around. Need to talk to the police directly and the neighbors about crime. Because is a touristy area, I believe is it fairly safe but beware as a new tenant, that is when you will get hit if it happens. Window cut-outs for the air-con are entry points for criminals. The price will go up 1000 every year when you renew the contract. You are correct, the area is becoming more desirable so the price is up for you. A corner lot is more expensive also. The house is not so big and the money that they will charge is 100% profit other than what they spend to fix it up now, maybe HALF MILLION, they will make that back from you in less than 3 years. With the toll road coming from Manila bringing more tourists to the area, there are tons of construction in that area for a couple of years now. If you go there get a long term contract so they don't raise the rent yearly and make sure the contract states a limit for the rent increase such as 5% for the next contract. Make sure they are responsible to repair all items for breakage, normal wear and tear such as light switches and faucet leaks and toilet problems, CR exhaust fans, roof leaks during high wind typhoons, etc. Make them responsible for rodent control also. Double bag with thicker bags your plastic wrapped foods in the kitchen cabinets as the roaches will eat through the original wrapper. Get renters insurance to cover a fire, cannot cover money and jewels unless you hire a full-time guard, talk to an insurance dealer, you are not responsible to pay for the house and make sure the owner also has insurance, you insist on seeing the papers every year, they need to install fire extinguishers and update them yearly. Look how easy it would be for a criminal to chisel out the concrete around the door locks or reach in from a window to open a door or use special tools to do that when a door is near a window or crawl in through the roof via an easy access area where neighbors cannot see well. I live in Baguio with a bigger house and awesome view for that price where it should be more, I did not allow them to raise my rent, I told them I would move out just because of 1000 increase, sorry. The contract is way too simple so they lost the argument. Does the Barangay know the actual price for rent, they may not tell them the truth as they must pay a business fee to the Barangay. If they are going to sell the house in the future, make sure you get a 90-day notice before you are forced out but you only need to give a 30-day notice if you want to move out. Your security deposit must be paid back in cash or used for the last month's rent, get it in writing. Its 2 hours to Baguio if you want to know on Nagillian Road and its safe. Do you want to live that far away from Clark, Angeles and Manila. The little airports in Baguio and San Fernando or no longer used. Dont get scammed into a fishing boat deal. GOOD LUCK to your family, it will get more expensive in the future for sure. The toll road to Dau is about 400 I think one way, a van from Baguio is 500 plus extra baggage space or seat for 500 if you buy a lot from AC to go back there next time, its better than driving yourself so I dont know the price from San Juan in a van but its a good deal either way and take the toll road.
That place looks amazing! Only $400!!!!
Hey Brian, Been enjoying your La Union Vlogs. You both looked so happy and relaxed there. Maybe they need a branch of LLB there in San Juan???
Reckon it brings out your inner surf dude / hippie.
More power to you
Hey Brian, do it brother, since the house is going to be remodeled. It looks like it will be a very nice house when it's finished. 😊😊😊😊
Two words, tsunami hurricane!
Check out Bangar. It’s a small town quickly booming and close to San Fernando, even Candon isn’t too far away 👍👍👍
Just toss a coil of concertino wire across the top of that block wall & you'll be safe. Nobody will be hopping your fence to take a short cut. If they have few of the more well known fast food joints Bob's your uncle. Beautiful sunset scene. Over here it has more of green glow to it.
Looks like that place was originally a duplex and over time they just cut the center wall out. Not bad if they are going to clean everything up. If you are going to move in there I would spend the extra money and have the place SPRAYED!! Probably full of termites and ants, better to do it before you move in so they can spray everywhere, just make sure you are there to see it get done!!!! Good luck, either way I am sure you all will be happy!!! Stay Safe!
Didnt hear a rooster the whole video up there!
Brian i would rent but i would need 2 CR's, just saying
Lot lot might lose the sari sari store, maybe she can open an okok store, used clothes. Less headache. No early hours!!
A lot of work needed for sure. Estimate time completion is the key??
La Union is my all time favourite place in the Philippines. Monte mar Village. Try the Final Option hotel restaurant. So good.!!!!!
The thing is until they actually redo don't bother. Lots are places are being redone for a higher rate yet it never happens.
When its finished show it again please.
I spent a lot of time up there, and we would have permanently moved there but it was too far from Manila then, but that was before they built the new TPLEx freeway.
a 10k House in Province, before corona.
You have a great imagination. For $400 it must totally renovated &
landscaped.
Do it Rocky a lot better life than where you are
Music killed the sunset buddy
Looks very relaxing place with the ocean around the house 🏡 are you guys eager to leave Angeles City where your Sari Sari Store booming?
It is very peaceful during the chimp shutdown. Have you been there prior to that? My question would be what is it like during a high season with tourists. It is a surf town. Lol. But I do agree it is very beautiful. I also noticed that a lot of houses had the high fence . So go for the high fence.
Yes i think that area has a future, much nicer than Angeles. You can still do what you're doing now and lot could open another store, life is too short Now is the right time to make a change.
Hey Brian, scratching my head what white has to do with having a fence??? Funny my black neighbor just finished building a nice fence to keep his dogs in the back yard. Go figure!! Lot to consider moving there. Our honeymoon was there in 89. Not a lot to do there, shopping malls and such, lot quieter. Shopping malls in Baguio. B4 making the choice check it out. It'll be a different life style. Real retirement! Good luck!
Thank you for the view of the house. Your wife mentioned that she could retire in that town. Could you ever see you and the Mrs. retiring there in the future? Stay safe and healthy from the CHIMMP.
The area looks beautiful from your videos. If you think you would enjoy it there, then why not? I think it would be nice to be close to the ocean and a more relaxed area, but it is not for everyone.
PH sunsets, beach side ......... sounds perfect
Beautiful! Thank you.
Your house is a lot better
I was there October 2019 with my fiancee loved it didn't want to leave and come back to Michigan
Are you a surfer? It is paradise here! ;-)
It looks reasonable to me due to location by the beach... I would take it... Too bad my retirement target is not until June 2021. How far is the beach from the house? Walking distance? Thank you Sir Brian. Take care and Careful always.
I would move Brian! I can not see anyone liking Angles City with that walking street? s$xpat city! Plus at San Jaun LA Union you are on the Ocean/coast where you guys can move alone the coast line. Your not land locked or have to go two hrs to a Ocean. I know AC is more then walking street, but that's what it's known for!!!!
Nice content.
I do think your channel viewers would lesson because as you know ALOT of your american viewers watch you cause you are in angeles and they get to see it. Vloggers right now all got a big boost cause of the china virus, people had 12 hours a day to watch whatever and i know of channels that went from 2k subs to over 100k in a couple months just cause they staying in places like thailand and didnt run home to mommy/daddy when the virus hit. I also know you dont need youtube income, but at your sub count you would be getting a nice income which you dont want to lose.
great info. just curious. how would the weather be any different in san juan vs. angeles city? any different?
I been in the Philippines 17 years now living in Makati. There will always be crime in the Philippines if the opportunity is there for them. This is why I purchased a condo in Makati with security.
Interesting. May I ask how much a one bedroom condo with kitchen and pool would cost? Approximate. Are rentals available?
Go for it Brian. Its no future in Angeles only bad traffic there and to many rosters
There's a really good Chinese Restaurant there as well near Coconut Grove Resort.
Great video. I am moving over there in two years. North east from Sorsogon. In sawanga bacon.
Yeah and within 5 years you'll be moving back to where you came from because of all the hassles.
stop renting, buy....build your wealth!
Personalty i would never buy, you never know what may happen tomorrow
@@thinktankboulevard maybe here in US were it is expensive, in PH more affordable!
You should come down and check out Mactan/Cebu area
The house looks oke but the main question will be how will lot do with her business , ??? , personaly i will say AC is dead the nightlife will not come back so in time it will get more and more boring so for that part it a good choice....
I can't believe how bad people are at paying attention to what you say in your videos sometimes. People don't listen or they are just skipping around.
I read all the comments and I think close to 40% of viewers thought you were looking at that place for yourself. 😂 A good 20% thought it was a dump and didn't listen that it was being fully renovated and was in a state of repair now. Others thought it was on the highway when in fact the highway is down the street. Then you had the people asking how an American can own it😂 We know you meant John and his Philippine wife . unbelievable !
The guy you were with visiting and chatting with also said his wi fi is super fast there and there are very few brown outs. It's a Quiet and safe area too. There are a couple of gated areas across the highway with bigger homes and new construction for just about that price. 10 minutes walk from beach.
Other people didn't hear you mention in another video about that express way being completed and it would be a couple or 3 hour drive from Angeles City and you could let the family run the sari sari. Commuting back and forth to check on things once and a while would be no big deal then. People need to pay attention 😂 My girlfriend lives just down the street. 👍 if you would like to see more info about the area then check out Living in the philippines channel ..Jay Hidoshi. He is in San Juan and has a few good tours around San Juan. Also expat.
I also did a walk through / vlog of it after it was all repainted just a couple of weeks ago! Personally i think the Bathroom needs to be redone too. and new flooring.. and new kitchen counter and cabinets.. Then it would be pretty nice!
@@sanjuanlaunionvlog 👍🤣
I had to rant. Some people just don't pay attention 😁
