PH Real Estate - Recommended Cities to Buy Houses, When in the Philippines

Do you want to invest in real estate properties, or do you want to simply find your ideal home? Whatever your intentions are in buying a house, here are recommended cities in the Philippines that are most preferred by prospective homeowners and current residents. To assist you in your task, here’s a list of recommended cities:

• Baguio City

Baguio City is one of the most recommended cities because of its cool and balmy climate. Unlike other parts of the country, Baguio has temperate temperatures even during summer. It’s getting hotter and hotter too in Baguio, with the increasing population and infrastructures, but it’s still the coolest place in the country during the humid, dry season.

Baguio is also home to the “Vegetable Bowl” of the Philippines, where you can obtain your fresh supply of vegetables and fruits from the nearby town of La Trinidad, Benguet. The Pines City is close to Mother Nature; hence, it’s a tranquil place where you can work, study diligently and relax, at the same time.

There are elegant and beautiful houses within the city and in the outskirts that you can purchase. Ensure that all the documents are properly accomplished before buying.

When you’re already a resident, you can take quiet strolls in Burnham Park and admire the kaleidoscope of colors coming from the blooming flowers, or go horseback riding in Wright Park.

The Flower Festival (Panagbenga) is during summer, so you can watch the parade and street-dancing without worrying where to stay. It’s during this time that thousands of foreign tourists from abroad flock to the city, so hotels are jam-packed. After watching the festivities, you can now take your sweet time going home.

• Angeles City

This city is a wonderful place to live in because it can offer all the exciting adventures that you may have been dreaming of. Nature lovers can go for a hike in Mt. Arayat, or go for an off-road adventure at the nearby Sandbox in Porac.

For people who want to go for an all-nighter party, Fields Avenue can provide the overnight entertainment that you desire.

If you’re a foreigner, you can join any of the several expats communities, or similar organizations in the city. The Clark Economic Zone (Clark Field) is located in Angeles City, so you can fly from Clark to selected international destinations. Being a resident, you can engage in various lucrative businesses at Clark.

• Cebu City

It’s tagged as the “Queen City of the South” because of its speedy economic growth as the center of education, trade and industry in the area. Famous local personalities originated from Cebu. This indicates that its people are talented, creative and good entrepreneurs.

Cebu residents and tourists can enjoy the awesome beaches and nature exploration that are offered to adventurous individuals. The influence of the Spanish regime remains to be visible in some of the quaint structures left in the city. The modern design is predominant with existing houses though.

Home to domestic shipping companies, Cebu has remained one of the top destinations of tourists, and one of the most recommended cities for purchasing real estate properties. With the booming economy, Cebu continues to welcome prospective homeowners to its fold. Consequently, the number of home builders had increased, and is expected to grow even more in the coming years. Hence, if you want to purchase a house, you should do it now, while prices of properties are not skyrocketing yet.

• Cavite City

This city is close to Manila, but is far enough to get away from the smog and the congestion of the metropolis. It’s a picturesque place with a string of activities for audacious residents.

Some residents, who want to heal their bodies and spirit, usually spend time at the Villa Filemona Natural Spring Resort. For those who want to take a dip, the Puerto Azul Gold and Country Club can refresh their sweaty bodies.

Cavite is a historic place during World War II because of the presence of the U.S. Base. Up to this day, tourists are trooping to these historical hotspots to get a feel of history. These are perfect places to explore when you want some action and physical activity.

If you’re retired, you can cultivate a small garden in the backyard of your house, and tend to it in the mornings or evenings. The early morning sun greeting you, as you relish the refreshing breeze would be a welcoming thought, right?

• Bacolod City

Bacolod City in Negros Occidental is one of the ideal cities to buy your house, because of the reasonable cost of living. Trusted real estate developers are now starting to focus their attention on the city. Business is booming and it’s projected that Bacolod would be the next big city, after Davao and Cebu.

In a few years, Bacolod would further develop into a real estate center in the South. Foreign investments are pouring in and big players have shown interest in establishing their businesses within the city.

In 2015, the city was included in the Top 100 Outsourcing Destinations. That’s a well-deserved award, considering the increase in the city’s revenue because of tourists and foreign investors. People searching for homes have increased in the past years due to the positive reviews the city is receiving from previous foreign residents and visitors.

• Davao City

Davao City, where President Rodrigo came from, is one of the best cities in Mindanao.  In terms of land area, it’s also the largest city in the country. The city was awarded for four consecutive years, one of “The 20 Most Livable Cities in Asia”. If this is not enough for you to want to settle down in Davao, what about this award: “Top Destination of the Year and the Cleanest and Greenest City”.

It’s also the first City in Asia with the 911 emergency numbers integrated into the phone system. Plus, it’s the most child-friendly city. The cost of living is not as expensive as the cities in Metro Manila, and the open spaces are a joy to behold. It would be awesome living in this city.

These are the 6 cities where you can buy a house or a real estate property and enjoy spending the rest of your life in peace and quiet. Nonetheless, you can also opt for fun, leisure and entertainment. These cities have both.
