Very nice condo😊. Can i ask sir, if where we can contact a person to ask more details for the condo? Your reply will be appreciated. Thanks and God bless.

[@lolomateo3021]

Hey Gio, Did you purchase this Condo Unit?

[@gericornista8133]

Still very cheap actually!!

[@guymarie3719]

Did u bought this?

[@acebachelorcool]

I'm Jealous! You're in the Philippines! 🇵🇭 I'm stuck in America! 🇺🇸

[@ridvanureten9518]

Totally!!

[@elmerfrejoles98]

That's why a lot American expats who move and live here. You get more bang for your buck$! No where in US for Condo that's only $400.

[@philippinecowboy]

I like the condo, I would most definitely get a year locked in, especially with it being brand new.

[@Avarua59]

Great place. Always worth it to pay a little more for peace and quiet away from the roosters, dogs and karaoke.

[@brianbarton777]

Condo living is the best way for me. I’m not a fan of roosters or barking dogs

[@ronaldrenearmstrong9872]

THEN SUBDIVIONS...

[@johnclark7973]

Wow, this condo and area is right up my alley. I would need the western lifestyle, and this place (condo, beach) checks the boxes. I couldn't deal in the provinces, with the loud karaoke and dogs, I would lose it! 🤣😂😆

[@ron2823]

I had to watch half a dozen apartment videos before someone kindly explained what CR stands for. It's a comfort room.

[@This_da_life]

[@Rocket9944]

Nice, the lady's will love it!

[@jiminfla5951]

For $400, that's a steal in Cebu. Very Nice!!!

[@markc7274]

It’s only $400 due to the pandemic. Normally it’s 700-800.

[@007thematrix007]

wat're the chances they raise those monthly rents by end of the yr.

[@farymaldonado3749]

Can you advice who can I speak to, to get a similar place? Thanks,

[@Scruffers2011]

It looks nice, especially by Philippine standards. I wouldn’t call it high end though. It’s got virtually no architecture to it. It’s a box in a building. Thailand has nicer condos for cheaper. If you want to live in Philippines though, it looks comfortable.

[@richamison4834]

I viewed some condos and developments on Mactan while in Cebu a few years ago. I wasn't crazy about the location only because of the isolation feel of being away from everything but it seems now they have built all the modern living amenities in Newtown. Very nice. I'm assuming 20k peso is the pandemic pricing. Do you know what they would normally lease? 40K perhaps?

[@Jeff-so9lt]

How do you find these apartments? Is there a apartment locator? Thanks for the great video!

[@GiointhePhilippines]

I used an agent

[@Steve7318]

Looks like a much better than your previous location than Danao. I used to live on that end of Cebu. There's really nothing there for expats, until you actually get into the city proper. I know the exchange rate fluctuates but it might be helpful to post what you pay in PHP. My rent varies based on the exchange rate. It's all about location here and even with a higher price you're not going to escape noise so my rule of thumb is never live next to a chapel, a basketball court. The street dogs are everywhere like the roosters. The dogs will crap right in the middle of the street or right in front of your gate if you rent a house. Best Bet is a Condo!!

[@tsyd691]

I'm really glad I found your channel. Was looking to get away from the states for awhile. Retired veteran who just wants some peace! Thanks for the insight.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Welcome 🙂

[@daviddarden1915]

Gio, totally agree, the condo life is the best, especially in the Philippines. Great tour in the condo. So glad you talked about the amenities too. Yes, it is much better to stay there for a while until they figure out details during the COVID Virus era, thank you for the tour. From US Air Force Security Police who was station in the Philippines.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Thanks for your service David.

[@marioschweizer1353]

nice affordable place. i think looks like pauls place, see from youtube

[@kevinr8431]

Furnished is really nice - sounds like you basically doubled your rent + utilities

[@chrisj302]

Great video. Mactan Newtown is a huge complex. Very clean but very remote and away from the action. But condo prices there are much lower than in Cebu City. Great place to use as a base if you travel a lot around the Philippines.

[@hjerneStimulanz]

where is a good cheap place downtown Cebu?

[@the_real_greywolf]

Why didn't you stay here? I like it here better than the new place to be honest...

[@ritchiealter]

If you take your face out we can see better what you're showing.

[@MS-oz2wu]

I'm gonna brainstorm my question/questions here. Do you have a vid on how to break into PI slowly, meaning in a short term way, like staying 30 to 90 days? Short term rental near good restaurants. I've got the cost of flights, basic travel needs in place. I'm trying to get a foot hold in PI & feel my way around. I'm not sure if I'll like it so I need to start out with week to week or month to month rentals tell I can decided to stay. Good health, good food are important, access to heathcare & a good gym are important.

[@PAPACREDIT]

Hi Geo, I had watched this way back when you first recorded, but just shared this with my gf. Shes looking for place. Where can i find a contact to see the current pricing

[@GiointhePhilippines]

One Manchester place in mactan Newtown

[@johnmagill7714]

This is where I'm looking at moving to also.

[@johncruz7895]

This is 2 years old posting. You need to do an update.

[@roccohagedorn3110]

Yup, I could see myself living there for a few years at least. Perfect base. Let me know when you move out, as I would love to take over. I hope in 6 month the travel restrictions will be lifted, I got my vaccine and we can finally get our tickets. I for one can’t wait !

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Only 30% occupied so plenty of room here for you lol

[@triXsolarflare]

Hopefully we will be neighbOUrs (Canadian Spelling, but I am living in Bend Oregon USA). I am headed to Mactan Newtown also, as soon as flight restrictions are lifted, I am hoping to do the Cebu Ironman 70.3 next year, it was cancelled this year, but will probably rent the condo for the year and will do the Ironman in Subic Bay and Davao also. I just need a home base to keep my bike and stuff.

[@carletto_au]

I love it 😍. And you look way more relaxed 😊

[@GiointhePhilippines]

I am

[@brianp6097]

Nice place Gio, very cozy and modern and like a one bed condo. Thanks for the look around, I hope you’re really happy there.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Yes, thank you

[@yuanshuan7099]

Very comfortable. Is the supermarket near the condo? Any wet market nearby?

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Yes, all super near.

[@marylublankenship6398]

Nice condo! At least you don’t have all that noise anymore.

[@richardsteinbergmakingknives]

I would like to see the amenities but didn't see a link to the other video you mentioned.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpvKlYCmhNFkja8

[@rockybato67]

We are not satisfied with our unit at Tower A 12F. We've been complaining the hot water for almost 3 months, the in-charge with SPA was a total nightmare and the management has no control, no coordination. Thanks God anyway!

[@dcollins217]

Great video. Do you pay the monthly utility bills directly to the condo management?

[@jostamy]

Nice video,we are planning to move to Newtown on februari 2022!

[@philippinecowboy]

I watched the video again, I noticed the balcony is pretty small especially when they take up space and have the AC unit there. I'm not sure if a table or chair will fit lol

[@GiointhePhilippines]

small table and chair will fit but that is it

[@55truckerdave]

Good deal....What about medical insurance over there ???

[@GiointhePhilippines]

It's listed in my description

[@JudahJourney]

What is the name of the condo??

[@mela6046]

Is there a yearly doorman fee? like for Christmas? (woodcraft20secAd;30secAdHughesnet)

[@GiointhePhilippines]

No but I order pizza for them periodically

[@mela6046]

@@GiointhePhilippines that's cool... :)) there is a cauliflower pizza ...I'm afraid to eat it...lol.. but I heard it was really good... (15secadtempurpedic;50secsAdmubi)

[@actsofkindnessinspiredhelpingo]

Gio thanks for sharing your new condo Intel brother! I'm interested in moving there with my Fiance! We have been living at The Infinity at BGC since 2019. Although we have a great gym and a nice swimming pool, just not the same without a beach. Stay safe brother - God Bless

[@TG-vk5uy]

Electrical outlets are grounded, too!

[@toddmirsky1102]

That's an awesome condo. It looks like a one bedroom Ill look into that aswell once travel opens up in the Philippines. Im ready to go. Wishing you the best

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Thanks Todd!

[@gtrfreak]

only downside of Lapu-Lapu / Mactan is there are no public beaches anymore and Resorts along the ocean want stupid money (8000-10000 pesos per night) to stay there or thousands for a day pass. I don't bother with that ripoff I'll just take a bus down to Moalboal and Oslob or take a Jomalia jet boat to Camotes Island. I do however recommend Mangrove Place and Cafe Cappuccino not far from you, good service at both. Great preview vid

[@jpsmusicandmore5457]

I likethat place a lot

[@mttfboy]

What are the condo dues and are they paid separately or included in the rent? Thanks

[@GiointhePhilippines]

When renting you should never pay those, the owner should be taking care of that.

[@mttfboy]

@@GiointhePhilippines LOL, that's wishful thinking Gio :)

[@justmusic8166]

Very nice ,with high tech, you still can't get away with not having the wires, hang your drawers on the balcony. It's worth 400 a month. Yes the noise might be an issue for me too.

[@AGVTV]

Nice place enjoy your stay

[@prettydanica4243]

Nice condo Gio! U got a good deal as well.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Yes it was!

[@basildubose]

Why is there no link to the condo? You got link to everything else under the sun down below except the actual condo you're doing the video about. Unless i am missing it, in which i apologize.

[@gypsyfish]

Man, I saw this at the right time. I was getting worried about the condo situation in the PI but you have allayed my fears, Gio. Thanks! Do you go through a realtor to find condos or just word of mouth?

[@giturdone1200]

Gio we ain't trying to go high end how about middle end 250 a month with air hot water and internet stove refrigerator and no roosters OK although that's is nice as all get out 400 I just might pull the trigger on that the more I see the more I like that's really nice that's what hell I'm talking about the roosters and kereoke 400 I'd eat romaine noodles not to have to deal with the roosters OK I'm sold on the condo living Gio I'm absolutely with ya on that

[@arakaomae1220]

This is really considered high end? Could one find some condo for closer to $1500-2k/mo that are much nicer with great views?

[@thomasbradley6990]

Nice place yeah amenities thats the deal breaker for me also I'm 52 yrs old thats doing your grown man thing comfortable living while in paradise

So then how much for a beachfront 1 bedroom apartment with sea-view terrace, located max. 30min from Cebu City center?

[@darrellgoolden8359]

I like the condos too I can’t wait to the borders open up

30Mb/s is not fiber. If it was 30MB/s, then yes. Not to be pedantic, just saying so that people do not get duped.

Is hydroxychloroquine and other drugs available for use against virus?

Where is the Garden to grow veggies. Where is the Ocean View. Everyone lives as they choose but living in a city condo would never work for me.

Seems a fine condo to me. I can imagine the noise polution in the Philippines making one crazy. Personally I am waiting to be able to visit the Philippines again, my current hope is to be there in December - but I am not making any solid plans yet. Enjoy your new home base!

[@GiointhePhilippines]

Check out this area

[@americanedokko2782]

It’s nice, but small. My guess is 325 sq.ft - maybe. I would say it’s a decent deal, not a great deal. With utilities, internet, etc., it’ll probably be at least $600-ish per month - not counting food, entertainment, transpo and a Filipina gf.

[@GiointhePhilippines]

For me it is a great deal. It wasn't the size of the condo so much as it was the ammenities and the location of it that made it so attractive for me.

[@stewartmcintosh1073]

The internet seems to be quite expensive I heard that before the Internet very expensive in the Philippines lack of competition

Hi Gio, I will be in Cebu next week. Are these units available on a monthly basis? I plan to spend 4-5 days in a resort. Then I’d like to experience what life would be like in the Cebu area. I may visit Dumaguete also. I’m looking for a place to land. I’ve spent a couple months in a province. It’s anything but quiet. Roosters…. And I would prefer a little more modern place to live. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

There are units usually available for long leases. Short term on Airbnb.

I have an unusual question, and feel free to not know the answer. it's illegal for foreigners to own any property other than something like a condo. but I see these gigantic condo towers all over the philippines. every city has dozens and dozens and dozens of condo towers. and the vast majority of Filipinos are poor. so does this mean that a relative handful of ultra Rich Filipinos own all of these condo towers?

[@thinkforyourself9334]

Not necessarily..Lots of foreigners own condos in the Philippines...Tons of Chinese here in the Manila area

Could you or others comment on the 'guest friendly' policy of quality condos in Cebu City? I am planning on long term stay starting ~a year from now in a condo (~$650/mo) rather than standard apartment/hotel.. Assuming covid is NOT a factor by then, do condos with security as a general practice restrict entry of legit dates or pros? What might the rules be in 6 months if covid is still a factor? Great vid thanks.
