It's no secret that Makati is a lavish city with expensive prices, but that doesn't mean you have to pay exorbitant prices to afford a nice lifestyle in Makati. After all, some of us just want to live a simple life in Manila, Philippines - no need for an extravagant penthouse. That is why in today's video, we cover ten of the most affordable condos for sale in Makati (that are of quality.)

There is another thing that you have to take in account, hi-rise living... When I lived in NYC if you have an apartment/condo/co-op that is high enough, 40th floor and up... it is very quiet when you open the windows. The noise from the city is almost filtered. That first unit did appear to be pretty damn high up.
I have a ton of vids covering BGC real estate! Check it out! And I believe an expats expenses will be higher if they want a higher standard of living. If you were okay like living like the average PH citizen, then by all means, pricing would be around the same.
@@TheSavvyExpat Oh, ok, I'll check them out! I just discovered your channel a few days ago. BTW, what I meant was pricing of condos in the PI often has two levels: one for locals and one for foreigners, or so I hear.
@@peters7229 gotcha. Yea, if I'm catching your drift, there is different pricing because many vendors price things higher for foriegners as opposed to locals.
@@TheSavvyExpat Anyways I also speak so fast in English but it seems you have listened to comment of your subscriber to speak slowly and that's nice 👍❤
You're very observant Marcus. That's great! Yeah, I slowed down my speech just because I also have a filipino audience that may not understand as well.
If i had to live anywhere, I'd choose bgc. It has parks to run (safely-at any time of the day) and everything is nearby. I do like other places in PH (Rockwell, Quezon City, etc); however, they do not allow a lifestyle similar to ones like USA.
Same here. I've been to the places you've listed and although they're nice, BGC is still the cleanest, most modern, and caters to an expat's standards.
@@TheSavvyExpat We always say when we go to PH, we first stay in BGC so while we adjust to the time change, we can still do activities at 1-5am safely (like running at night, going to the gyms, eating, etc) But when I retire, I personally would prefer to stay in Quezon city. I really like Grass Residences (it has multiple pools, decent location, close to large park, next to hospital) for only like $400-500/month
Right on! I've never really done diligence on quezon but when it comes to gated communities I'm sure that they don't cost much for American standards and are still safe. Do you plan on retiring in the Philippines then?
@@TheSavvyExpat It is very affordable to live out there! We literally plan to retire in PH asap. We know a good handful of people here that do it (including our neighbors) and they live very comfortably
Tuli, I have a twelfth floor studio unit at University Towers in Malati. The unit is 23 square meters. I have a full bathroom with heating coil. I have a large chefero. I have two fold down couches that turn into beds at night. I have a small frig and freezer and an air conditioner as well. What would be an appeoximate sale price and a monthly rental price? The unit is close to several universities. I look forward to getting your opinion. Stay well and stat blessed.
Want to buy NEW? In Makati and BGC its is easy to find New units priced at over P300K per sqm, or even over 400K per sqm. If you have the money you can buy MUCH cheaper in the secondary market
For me, I won't pay 75k US dollars for that. It is too expensive for the fact it is so small and cramp inside as well. For that price, I rather get a house and lot. Besides living in a condo is just like living in an apartment.
I like the first one , Knightsbridge residence in century mall makati . Are you a broker? How much all in all for transfers of tittle and everything, pls give mea contact email or number.

Absolutely 💯 I live on the 40th floor at my condo and there is zero noise
Nice job. How about a real estate video of the BGC area... And please mention if there are pricing differences for an expat vs a PI citizen.

@@peters7229 Mainly Only for NEW condos, if/when developers can get away with it.
@@friarnewborg9213 That sucks.
The first one, I like that I'm close to the mall, and night life and like that it's very high up. Lol !!!

That's great to hear man. You know what I have a question for you. I've heard there's been food shortages out there, how'd it looking? Any changes?
I just to know how much to rent a month
So the Citadel is the biggest? I think its worth it like the others
👍

Are these units still available?

Kindly tell us the exact location please
For me, I won't pay 75k US dollars for that. It is too expensive for the fact it is so small and cramp inside as well. For that price, I rather get a house and lot. Besides living in a condo is just like living in an apartment.
LOL. They don't call them "Condo Apartments" for nothing
How about 2 BR units?
Price the units PER SQM and multiple by the larger size. For a 2BR, you might needs something like 50% mroe space
If these prices have only went up,
Ill be looking to long term lease somewhere else
The price for those small condo are to much, for that price I would get a house. Crazy high price
Makati is only of the most expensive places to live in PHL. Because there are many higher paying jobs there
these apartments look like jail cells in northern Europe
Yeah there pretty small
It's luxury
home
Over priced
I like the first one , Knightsbridge residence in century mall makati . Are you a broker? How much all in all for transfers of tittle and everything, pls give mea contact email or number.
