Great video nice apartments good size but i have stayed in the dumaguete around same price but you get swimming pool jim and lush green gardens cheers looking from Australia
I have been out of the Philippines for about 7 years now. Davao is our home but we lived in Bacoor for a year. We found a two-story house with three bedrooms and maid quarters. It was a very nice house in a gated community not too far from several malls and everything else you would need. It ran us P15,500 per month, not including utilities and no furniture or appliances other than AC. We stayed there most of the time we lived in Metro Manila until we moved to a duplex for about P5,000 per month. It was okay but not as nice as the first location. We hope to return this year but I am concerned with the prices I have been seeing in this video. I'm not really understanding why Davao City is more expensive than Metro Manila.
Price seems high for Davao especially in your comment that price is comparable to Mactan. I would expect prices to be lower comparable to Cebu. It looked like an SM building that they develop around their malls.
thats a good filter GIO. Manufactured in the USA. I just installed that filter for my ex daughter in law in Australia. The filter will last one year depending on how much you drink
These videos are much appreciated. I am really looking forward to retiring in 7-12 years in the Philippines. This gives me motivation and it helps me to be grounded and to know the realities of costs, etc. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tour. I think for that much money I'd rather get a house. The water filtration system is nice. I'd want to start with fresh filters and put the date on them that they were changed out. But very spacious indeed.
I know of similar apartments in Dumaguete you can get for the same prices 28k and 18k. But they have a pool, free wifi and cable. This apartment complex also have rooms for 13k with all the above. Although a great price for a big city, these are a bit pricey for retired folks on a budget.
gio i have been watching you for a long time. i get out of the military in 3 months. i will be going to Davao. Are the girls approacheable in Davao....how about age differences in Davao
Retiring next year, 62 years old, I understand there is good fresh water fishing and great salt water fishing in the local area, also interested in golf, like the info on your video, like the gym and apartment prices and quality, any info you could share would be appreciated. Thanks, I’m mike
this apartment is huge compared to all the condo's I saw and for less money. but no pool or gym. I guest you can't have everything. but you can join a gym with pool so that's not a deal breaker. How far is this to the central downtown area?
Nice apartments, Gio, the 1 BR is a lot bigger than our studio condo here at Camella Northpoint. The only downside I see is that thin mattress, no pool or clubhouse. For me I like having an elevator since I broke my hip. Our place is 12.4K+ utilities & has full security @ the gate & @ each building.
They both looked very nice, also didn't hear any dogs or chickens, I guess the only question is I wonder if you can hear the people in the apartments around you?
HELLO GIO 👋 THIS IS THE BEST APT I'VE SEEN AS I PLAN TO MOVE TO DAVAO AS SOON AS I CAN TIE UP THESE LOOSE ENDS IN NEW YORK. I WOULD LIKE A NICE QUIET 🤫 PLACE! PLEASE PROVIDE THE LINK FOR THIS APT HOUSE 🏠 I SAW YOUR LINK FOR TRAVEL PREP! GREAT VIDEO 📹 👍
Gio, how are the hospitals, are they as good as Cebu and Manila? I’m a senior and I just want to have good hospital’s that are state of the art close to those in the USA!
They say you get used to the dogs and roosters but gotta wonder if it is wishful thinking to try to find a place there without them. Even though there are no amenities, looks like a decent, clean, well kept place. Thanks for the tour!
It’s wishful thinking haha. And the karaoke etc. the noise pollution in the Philippines is insane. Does my head in honestly. Dogs barking all night long and no one cares.
Was gonna tell you I could see and hear you loud and clear… but I got here before you so no clue 😎 (edited…I thought it was gonna be a livestream this format is great too. I enjoyed it Its content well put together)
Is it much more expensive to get a condo on month to month and not sign a 6 month lease? That’s good for 18,000 pesos i would be happy with somewhere 25-30 square metres that must be a lot bigger
Gio your one of the best blogger out there you and subic bay Jonny are very good no pool or anything I think That’s to much for not having a pool or anything
Nice large rooms but sad they have the older noisy AC units in the bedrooms. When the lady said the building complex started in 2008 I think it was the norm. Thanks and do more.
I wasn't able to watch til the end, apologies. I absolutely love this place. I've stayed there numerous times. I prefer it over One Oasis. It's quiet and the caretakers are awesome. The restaurants across the street, when you go out the gate, are really good as well!
Davao City is one of two cities in Mindanao (the other is CDO), that are listed by US and Canadian embassies as safe places. If you travel outside, it will be too risky.
Is that $360 USD? My wife and I are living in an apartment in Southern California for $750/month. For those who like the city I guess living in Davao is ok, but Cateel is the bomb on Mindanao.
Nice spot Gio. Lot's of space. I imagine the price is a post covid price? Did you ask them what the price would be in normal times? Only thing I would be concerned about is no security like a condo. I wouldn't want any "girlfriends" showing up unannounced 😁.
Security is everywhere bro in pH even subdivision have security to throw unknown fake visitors. Filipino have fear of crimes in their neighborhood so you see intermediate and big business have security
Good to see, but why do filipinos always choose that awful dark brown colors on doors etc ??? It's just dreadful! Also the split aircon should have been in the bedroom and not in the living room. The wall window type is much more noisy at night!
Just curious! Why did you turn off the camera just before arriving at the apartments? It appears that you may be hiding something that would make the area a little less livable. What is the area like in regards to meeting other expats, going to restaurants and coffee shops in the area? What is the crime rate like in the area?
It's not like he had a vested interest in this apartments, just trying to help us understand what it is. It's funny how we sometimes look for conspiracies when it's actually nothing there.
Wow, I think the prices she is quoting you includes foreigner "tax". That is very expensive for Davao. Get your Filipina to rent the apartment (never be seen with her there during the negotiations) and the price will be much lower.

Hi Gio,
That apartment is for sale.
Can you recommend an affordable rental apartment in davao city?
Thanks!
There is one major problem! No Philippine Tourist Visas have been issued to Americans since February 2020 with no end in sight!
And other foreigners are denied entry in the Philippines .. sighs
They are opening up next month
I mean Americans are visiting now
Great video Gio. Try to do more apartment/condo videos there if you can.
I will
The cut into wall AC is very noisy compared to wall mounted that has machine outside ducted in.
Thxs for sharing. Review the Residences Ayala Land Premier.
It’s really nice and cheap for the USA but expensive for the Philippines
REally nice 2 bedroom and looks like a quiet neighborhood -- thanks for blogging another view of the Philippines!
Great video nice apartments good size but i have stayed in the dumaguete around same price but you get swimming pool jim and lush green gardens cheers looking from Australia
The best tip I got out of this was the option to negotiate the down payment. Great to know Gio! 👍
I have been out of the Philippines for about 7 years now. Davao is our home but we lived in Bacoor for a year. We found a two-story house with three bedrooms and maid quarters. It was a very nice house in a gated community not too far from several malls and everything else you would need.

Thank you Gio for showing us this oppurtunites ; now we need just a visa to get in :)
@@TRICK-OR-TREAT236 hahahaha
thanks Gio! Now we have a place to stay at in Davao. We've made a deposit already for May.
Thanks for that Gio, I enjoy looking at apartments. They were nice and clean and spacious, I’d be happy there for a while.
Price seems high for Davao especially in your comment that price is comparable to Mactan. I would expect prices to be lower comparable to Cebu. It looked like an SM building that they develop around their malls.
thats a good filter GIO. Manufactured in the USA. I just installed that filter for my ex daughter in law in Australia. The filter will last one year depending on how much you drink
28k I would expect a pool ...
Far too expensive. 28,000 per month. Those are western prices almost
Stayed at the Oasis in Ecoland, the area is nice and from the condo you could walk to the mall. the apartments looked nice and were larger than usual.
These are the nicest apartments I've seen in ages, nice and big, muted colors and good layout.
Glad you like them!
Thanks Gio for the apartment tour
SO nice Philippine is beautiful country soon I visit beautiful place in Philippine
These videos are much appreciated. I am really looking forward to retiring in 7-12 years in the Philippines. This gives me motivation and it helps me to be grounded and to know the realities of costs, etc. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tour. I think for that much money I'd rather get a house. The water filtration system is nice. I'd want to start with fresh filters and put the date on them that they were changed out. But very spacious indeed.
Awesome I might stay there thanks for the video
Gio,
Did she say , the one 2 bedroom has internet already ?
Well its quite spacious. But at that price point Im sure theres a lot to choose from
Looks nice Gio, especially if its actually quiet.
nice what about the cost for electric and internet
I know of similar apartments in Dumaguete you can get for the same prices 28k and 18k. But they have a pool, free wifi and cable. This apartment complex also have rooms for 13k with all the above. Although a great price for a big city, these are a bit pricey for retired folks on a budget.
Are those apartments in Dumaguete as quiet as this one though?
I'm your new subscribers hehehe have a great day
Thank you Mae
Those filters WILL NOT filter out bacteria and certainly not viruses. I used to run hospital water processing for dialysis clinics.
gio i have been watching you for a long time. i get out of the military in 3 months. i will be going to Davao. Are the girls approacheable in Davao....how about age differences in Davao
looks like a half decent neighborhood, but with the hot temps gotta have a pool. certainly would attract more foreign renters than otherwise.
Retiring next year, 62 years old, I understand there is good fresh water fishing and great salt water fishing in the local area, also interested in golf, like the info on your video, like the gym and apartment prices and quality, any info you could share would be appreciated. Thanks, I’m mike
What online site do you utilize when looking for a place?
Hey Gio, I'm curious how's your internet there? Better than Cebu or about the same?
Internet can be erratic it depends on the weather...
I really don't see it any better or worse than Cebu honestly.
Looks very nice i buy four Appartments
this apartment is huge compared to all the condo's I saw and for less money. but no pool or gym. I guest you can't have everything. but you can join a gym with pool so that's not a deal breaker. How far is this to the central downtown area?
hello sir am proud Davao am also a vlogger can I join your vlog
Nice apartments, Gio, the 1 BR is a lot bigger than our studio condo here at Camella Northpoint. The only downside I see is that thin mattress, no pool or clubhouse. For me I like having an elevator since I broke my hip. Our place is 12.4K+ utilities & has full security @ the gate & @ each building.
Do people just buy mattress toppers to make these beds okay?
I did
These apartment style units are way better compared to high rise condos, especially for older retirees.
They both looked very nice, also didn't hear any dogs or chickens, I guess the only question is I wonder if you can hear the people in the apartments around you?
Do most of the stoves have stove tops or do you need other source to cook
Good stuff TY! My wife is from Davao. Very likely we will land there sooner or later. She is from the Ma area.
This might seem like a good deal for Westerners, but for the Philippines it's not cheap at all. I would keep looking for a better deal than that.
Loved the apartments Gio! Very spacious and convenient!
Wish there was a phone number for the place to call .
Do they have security deposit in the Philippines like they do in United States ?
Yes
HELLO GIO 👋
THIS IS THE BEST APT I'VE SEEN AS I PLAN TO MOVE TO DAVAO AS SOON AS I CAN TIE UP THESE LOOSE ENDS IN NEW YORK. I WOULD LIKE A NICE QUIET 🤫 PLACE! PLEASE PROVIDE THE LINK FOR THIS APT HOUSE 🏠
I SAW YOUR LINK FOR TRAVEL PREP! GREAT VIDEO 📹 👍
I couldn't understand most of what your guide was saying. She's muffled by the mask. It would have been nice to have captions when she spoke.
Wow you're in Davao. You are the second vlogger to transfer to Davao from Cebu after Typhoon Odette.
wow! amazing job! 👋, keep on sharing.❤
Thank you so much 🤗
Gio the next time you do a condo walkthrough find out how much it might cost to buy. my thinking is most condo's are for sale.
Gio, how are the hospitals, are they as good as Cebu and Manila? I’m a senior and I just want to have good hospital’s that are state of the art close to those in the USA!
Yes, Davao has good medical here.
Depending on which hospital you are admitted.. you get what you pay for..
would you trust the water filter?
They say you get used to the dogs and roosters but gotta wonder if it is wishful thinking to try to find a place there without them. Even though there are no amenities, looks like a decent, clean, well kept place. Thanks for the tour!
That's why I would live in a city , the roosters and karaoke would be too stressful in my golden years
I could never get used to the dogs but roosters do not bother me at all
If there were more dogs then it's possible there would be less chickens.
It’s wishful thinking haha. And the karaoke etc. the noise pollution in the Philippines is insane. Does my head in honestly. Dogs barking all night long and no one cares.
@@Sunmoon-gj9gy but they are also in many city areas 😱😁
Nearly $600? I think if those prices were realistic, she would not have so many vacancies. Probably a white skin tax.
I am sure it is negotiable!
I suggest bring a locals to negotiate. Pinoy is really bad at foreign prices.
Planning to retire in the Philippines. Specifically in Mindanao.
For 28k a month,thats a scam,you can get better for that same amount
Was gonna tell you I could see and hear you loud and clear… but I got here before you so no clue 😎 (edited…I thought it was gonna be a livestream this format is great too. I enjoyed it Its content well put together)
How can I get in touch with her? Thanks. Indeed, they are large apartments
facebook.com/laspalmerasapt.davao
That's a great deal my friend
Is it much more expensive to get a condo on month to month and not sign a 6 month lease? That’s good for 18,000 pesos i would be happy with somewhere 25-30 square metres that must be a lot bigger
Gio your one of the best blogger out there you and subic bay Jonny are very good no pool or anything I think
That’s to much for not having a pool or anything
Are you required to wear a mask outdoor?
Are there any screens in the windows?
If I remember right yes.
What is the electric voltage
Gio, how much do you think for the gym membership with the pool per month?
i was typing when you commented. Yes I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig on the water
Nice layout ……much bigger rooms than the Amaia codos
Nice large rooms but sad they have the older noisy AC units in the bedrooms. When the lady said the building complex started in 2008 I think it was the norm. Thanks and do more.
what about a 3 bedroom house?
how far is central market?
I'm sold on the stove.
Nice feature!
I wasn't able to watch til the end, apologies. I absolutely love this place. I've stayed there numerous times. I prefer it over One Oasis. It's quiet and the caretakers are awesome. The restaurants across the street, when you go out the gate, are really good as well!
How much for good internet and utilities? Anything included in the 28k price?
Beautiful place , large and clean . The rents are ok .
I will pick the one bedroom if still available when it is open to travel .
Thanks Gio .
Gio, I hope you're going to give us a video tour.
Absolutely!
Awesome vlog !
like the 1 bedroom buddy near the mall and gym you got a contact number for landlord ??? how far from airport buddy ??? many thanks simon in England
facebook.com/laspalmerasapt.davao
In the 70's, while stationed in the Philippines, Davao was off limits due to rebel HUKs kidnapping Americans. Any concerns now in 2022?
Not really
Davao City is one of two cities in Mindanao (the other is CDO), that are listed by US and Canadian embassies as safe places. If you travel outside, it will be too risky.
Does the rent include hydro? Not sure in U.S but in Canada hydro means water and electricity.
Let me tell you something, you could own Apartment like that with deposit of 10000dollars and with monthly payment of $360 in Philippines.
Is that $360 USD? My wife and I are living in an apartment in Southern California for $750/month. For those who like the city I guess living in Davao is ok, but Cateel is the bomb on Mindanao.
Cateel has great waterfalls. Aliwagwag Falls
$750 is cheap for SoCal
How do one go about renting?
How can I talk to? I'm coming to davao in August
On my website wwww.giointhephilippines.com
Hey Gio what area is this? I’m guessing it’s by one of the major malls
Ah sm mall. How do you like the abreeza area?
Abreeza is a really nice area.
Wow nice 🤩
Nice spot Gio. Lot's of space. I imagine the price is a post covid price? Did you ask them what the price would be in normal times? Only thing I would be concerned about is no security like a condo. I wouldn't want any "girlfriends" showing up unannounced 😁.
They have security and a gate at entrance.
Security is everywhere bro in pH even subdivision have security to throw unknown fake visitors. Filipino have fear of crimes in their neighborhood so you see intermediate and big business have security
Good info Gio
Nice apartments...Large...
Thanks Gio..
As of today, what is this current status Sez Style and Tuk Tuk Cali?
Are gyms open in Davao now? Best gym i found was at the Marco Polo, with a good lap pool too.
Gyms are open!
Marco Polo has shut down.
Good to see, but why do filipinos always choose that awful dark brown colors on doors etc ??? It's just dreadful! Also the split aircon should have been in the bedroom and not in the living room. The wall window type is much more noisy at night!
Got to have a pool
Mind i ask Gio .. foreigners are banned to enter the Philippines. Are you married to a filipina woman?
Foreigners can come in if married or on retirement visas. I was here prior to the pandemic.
Just curious! Why did you turn off the camera just before arriving at the apartments? It appears that you may be hiding something that would make the area a little less livable. What is the area like in regards to meeting other expats, going to restaurants and coffee shops in the area? What is the crime rate like in the area?
I explained in the video it's just near SM city mall with tons of restaurants and coffee shops. Nothing to hide it's a great condo.
@@GiointhePhilippines If fact, you did. My mistake. Thanks for correcting me. Have a great day.
It's not like he had a vested interest in this apartments, just trying to help us understand what it is.
It's funny how we sometimes look for conspiracies when it's actually nothing there.
No pool, just a bench to sit at, that's a No Go from me!
wow, this gotta be the biggest apartment I've seen in Asia .
Wow, I think the prices she is quoting you includes foreigner "tax". That is very expensive for Davao. Get your Filipina to rent the apartment (never be seen with her there during the negotiations) and the price will be much lower.
