Example of a $460 Two Bedroom Apartment Rental in the Philippines (Dumaguete City)

[@DrDlane]

Nice place, Ned. I like the double sink. You don't see that very often. But it's a bit expensive for me. It looks very comfortable and quiet. Thanks for showing us.

[@GSXSF-250]

Nice.

[@GSXSF-250]

Nice!

[@jmfarrell5]

Fall-aparticle board.... 😄😊 I’m using that... with authorship to you of course. Great vlog. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@dangbeaudry]

That is a very nice place its just available 2 years to early

[@skaidimusic]

Sounds like a normal price. Renting is not so difficult in the Philippines if you search around, there is always some good offers. Buy a house is different, brokers and owners are crazy. After 10 years living in the Philippines i have now lived almost 5 years in Costa del sol, Spain. Standard is as I expected much higher here on everything, and the sun is shining all year round. The only thing who surprised me is that life in Spain is cheaper all in all compare to Philippines. Access to young pretty girls is less here than Philippines, so i brought my wife :-). Anyway there is something magic with the Philippines, i understand people who like to retirement in the Philippines for different reasons. Well, i have kids and i want to give them a safe future and better education than they would have in the Philippines. So i will visit the Philippines for vacation only, i do love the Philippines. People is really nice there, very social and helpful. Risk of accident, robbers and killers or end up in a hospital and listening the doctors who say cash is king before they lift a finger. That`s part of life in the Philippines also. Little bit out of topic, nice video and good explain on this apartment :-).

[@simplyfilipino6408]

May I ask how much is your rent in Spain. Thank you.

[@skaidimusic]

@@simplyfilipino6408 Prices in Spain depends on location etc, studio apartment from 300$ and family apartments from 400$.

Double sink...uh hmmm...noice!

[@edilynkate1081]

I stayed this apartment it was nice but you need to walk slowly because neighbor downstairs can hear the footsteps

[@raymonde4272]

The wooden furniture is beautiful, nice to see the woodgrain rather than being too darkly stained.

Wow, I'm paying $880 pm for 1 room in Melbourne Australia. That's like 70,000 peso.

[@winduncan9818]

Nice place! Suggestion/request, when you do a review of places in a complex like this in the future that have communal internet can you log on and test the speed. I think that is a priority for a lot of us these days. Thanks for the review.

[@NYJGreatness]

No roosters while the roosters were going nuts. I'm not so sure about the quiet area part Lol. That said, it's a decent looking place.

[@PhilippineDreams]

After 7 years, I just don't hear them anymore. :)

That is a nice place Ned.. Although you can get a 3bdrm 2ba house with fenced yard, and equal interior in Minglanilla, suburb of Cebu City for 15k - 20k.. I am surprised at real estate costs there in Dumaguete.. Thanks for the video.. Hope you had a good Memorial day, Sir..

[@gemmel3197]

How far time wise is Minglanilla from the CBD of Cebu? Thanks

[@carloslaend1635]

That "10 best places to retire list" has inflated the prices a lot. Current market doesn't make any sense when you consider what dumaguete really offers.

[@namvet1968]

Interesting info. Is that near SM Seaside? I'm thinking about moving to that area. There are some nice subdivisions with swimming pools in that area. Thanks.

[@maggieenoc3616]

WHERE'S EXACT LOCATED THIS APARTMENT

[@JC-iq5td]

You can hear the roosters 🐔

[@damonottaway3648]

That is so funny. I looked into renting in the same complex because I liked it very much. The unit up stairs on left side front. Unfortunately when I contacted it had been rented.

[@PhilippineDreams]

Nice area. Great spot if you have a car.

"300 watts" that's a rate of power flow. Did you mean average of 300w in a typical hour?

I didn't see a beach at that place. Oh, just bcz there's a beach in the general vicinity means you count it as an amenity? I think not. $450 is way too high for a 3rd rate town in PH like Duma. Rent prices will climb bcz of the stupidity of "knowledgeable" foreigners.

I’ve never gotten an answer to my question on any vlogs: why do all houses in the PI have bars on the windows and doors, and large walls around the properties topped with glass or barbed wire ? Is crime that bad throughout the PI?

[@richardhowe4140]

They have lots of petty crime.. pickpockets, fone and purse snatchers and lots of burglary and theft from your property..

[@truthhurtsalways4u]

Its not just in the Philippines ,but even in Latin American and many Asian countries .People just want privacy and they dont want to hear neighbors quarrelling ,having parties etc .This is not new ,as well .This has been going since I can remember i.e. circa 60's .Even here ,where I live in Texas ,I have my windows secured by bars and has tall brick fences .Crimes happen everywhere .Im more fearful of walking in the ghettos of NY,L.A.,Houston etc than walking in the squatter areas in the Philippines .

[@whiteboymax250]

yes its me Wrong! All of SE Asia is not like this. In fact, most of it isn’t. I’ve lived in Thailand and Vietnam as well as Philippines. No issues like this in those two countries. Malaysia very respectful as well. Even Bali is not dangerous like the Philippines. Stop giving misinformation

[@ivorybilled8983]

Do you think filipinos would spend all that money on high walls and iron bars if burglary crime were not a huge problem? Thats why its nice to live in a compound with security and a surrounding wall.

no....and dogs barking and karaoke... they love it all.

TOO BAD WE CANT OWN PROPERTY THERE.

If you have a Filipina wife, she can own the property and give you power of attorney over the property so you have complete control over it. It's not what you own that matters. It's what you control.
