i live in merville park and i like it very much. sanay naman ako sa sound ng eroplano kasi lumaki ako sa olongapo when the US naval base was still there and then the fedex hub, ganoon din laging may eroplano. thankfully, nung panahon ng ondoy hindi kami binaha. all the surrounding areas waist-deep or hanggang ceiling ang baha, but our street was spared. ang gusto ko sa merville malapit lang sa makati and the fort. hehe...pasyalan.

naku para palang sobrang laki pa ng kulang ng savings namin. for a 6M house.

@miksha, malalaki ang sukat ng lupa sa sunvalley subdivision, pinakamaliit yata is around 500 sqm. sa ngayon 10-12k per sqm ang presyo. i dont think makakahanap ka dito ng sukat na gusto mo

people are buying up lots and renovating old houses sa bf.. tumaas siguro uli ang value ng lote sa area because of the availability ng maynilad.

emeeneem..yes! sobrang good deal sya.... the bathrooms are spacious naman..may pocket zen garden in front hanggang gilid.. very nice talaga.. wish i had the money to buy..

Hi. I'm a licensed real estate broker living in Betterliving Paranque. Maybe I can help you. I have a few listings in the area, definitely flood free. You can check it out at www.loralazaro.sulit.com.ph

You can choose depending on your budget. Let me know if this helps. Thanks.

I was living in QC when I worked in Makati, sobrang hassle ang biyahe. Although May FX at kung saan saang short cut dumadaan para maiwasan ang traffic sa EDSA, lantang gulay pa din ako umuuwi sa bahay.

Now I live in Paranaque, sobrang ginhawa ng biyahe. May FX sa SM Bicutan papuntang Makati, naka-Skyway pa. My travel time was cut down from 1.5 hours to just 15 minutes.

I think yung "malayo" na term depende sa tanong na "malayo saan?" If you are working in Makati, for me the best place to get a property is in Paranaque. Hindi naman kami lumubog nung Ondoy at wala kami fault line in case may earthquake. Plus the munisipyo here has way better service compared to QC.

^sis, if you don't mind, where in paranaque ka?

check nyo metrobank list of acquired assets. may foreclosed condo sila, EGI Homes II (Mola St corner Primo Rivera), around 900k lang. downside is bumabaha sa kalye pero mababaw lang, di abot ng tuhod. near pasong tamo and pablo ocampo.

I have a unit sa EGI Homes I (sa tapat lang ng EGI Homes II), bought it for 730k, 45sqm (2 bedrooms). sobrang ok na lalo na now na wala na squatter. pinaparent ko at 9k.

I think the place would be good for starters, yuppies na hindi pa ready mag invest ng malakihan. then if may budget na, at makahanap na ng better location, ipa rent na lang. Makati area so mataas din rent...

Paano po ba magpurchased ng foreclosed properties?

Maproseso ba masyado? I think it's way better than sa broker bibili or rent to own?

ngak, madaming parts ng better livign ang binaha.

i think yung area ng Annex 35 meron, kasi may creek dun d ba... yung Russia binaha ata, at yung area ng dona soledad na papuntang barangay, yung sa may police station, umangat yung road dun eh. pero kami sa bandang UN hindi kami binaha.

[justgirl]

Quezon city very accessible.
Taguig is also a nice place to stay if you have lots on money(high cost of living)

[HeartHeart]

saan location near makati ang hindi binabaha?   

[eiriecha]

best place is san juan...

Hi mga sis,

Don't know where to post this kaya I made a new thread na lang. Hubby and I planned to get a house mid 2009 pa, we saw this subdivision in Pampanga (near my inlaws) and made reservation. Kaso we decided it's hassle pala for us so di na lang namin tinuloy. Hubby works in Makati (kala niya kakayanin niya ang back and forth) and I work from home naman (so no prob with me).

We've agreed to get a house na lang dito sa Metro and definitely a Condo is a No-No for us. We wanted a place where we can raise our soon to be kids kase and syempre makapag-ingay ang bisita when they come over. At this point, town house lang ang kaya ng budget namin (up to 3.5M).

We are eye-ing for Paranaque subdivisions na may townhouses for sale, do you think okay naman tumira within Paranaque area? Any feedback you can give if may binabaha bang lugar or which area is super traffic?

I really appreciate any feedback you can provide.

Thanks!

Lugi ka sa toll fees everyday if you and your husband work in Makati. Not to mention the pagod and the traffic. Get nalang somewhere in Taguig. Medyo mura pa ang development dun, you don't have to pay toll fees pa.

@redrose, may mga shuttle services sa amin sa better living ng mga Makati, Ortigas, Lawton, at baka  merong pang iba na hindi ko alam. so far yang 3 na yan meron. at skyway ang daan nyan, so kung toll fees lang ang inaalala mo, you don't have to worry naman, yun eh kung willing ka mag-shuttle service na lang pagpasok sa ofc.
