One Bedroom Rental for $60 in the Philippines!!!

What a typical $60 apartment looks like in Trece Martires City, Philippines.

[@sanjuanlaunionvlog]

wow.. $60.. that's like 3000 pesos... so cheap! Funny.. in the U.S.A some people would spend that on dinner for two. I just love living here. If i stayed living in the U.S. i wouldn't be able to retire until I'm 62. But now.. I can start enjoying my retired life at age 51 while i'm still younger.. and able to do things ... anyway.. great channel. I like how you show how it really is here!

[@MrSteven5975]

Thanks

[@Kitiwake]

How do you know you'll enjoy retirement?

[@rickyusa1000]

Being a single guy, I could live in that place. I could deal with the Filipino style toilet as long as I put a seat on it. I would need aircon in the bedroom at least but that place is small enough it probably wouldn't cost a lot more to cool the whole place.

These types of what you get for your buck blogs are very helpful. You could do a ton of these and they would beat any rambling on about nothing blog any day of the week.

Thank you for the video. I really enjoy seeing whats available there and the prices. Real living, not those video's of nothing but resorts. I appreciate your work showing the REAL Philippines!

[@anelsnts]

Because of the hot and hotter weather in the Philippines, people take a bath to cool them down that's why Filipinos are not used to hot water bath. During summer months you'll sweat profusely few minutes after an afternoon shower. I

This is 2 years ago. Came up on my feed. No hot water when I was living in Leyte 1977-1981. I’d boil a kettle of water for the bucket to take the initial cold bite out of the water.

[@daviddarden1915]

Having lived in the Philippines at Clark Air Base long time ago in 1991. For that price. It is really a great steal for the locals who would love that or a foreigner who really is tight on a budget. Bravo on that property. I know most foreigners would be great if they pay at $150 US per month there.

[@MrSteven5975]

I pay $70-80 for the one I live in with a bigger bedroom too. I get a break for paying in advance.

[@daviddarden1915]

@@MrSteven5975 I knew there is the reason I still love the Philippines. There are still great price deals there especially if you retire there or live long term there too. Great information, thank you.

[@porkpie8667]

Can you imagine that room if you spent £1000. On better furniture and put a TV on the wall. It would be a different place altogether. Cleanest cheapest room I have seen in South East Asia. Thanks for the video

Thank you for making and sharing. This is hope for some and an "an insurance policy" for many.

Nice. The Philippines has it all, $60 dollar apartments and $600 apartments.

That’s the great thing about living here.

It’s a nice area but really find your spot.

Yes, I would like to see more rental property! Thank you.

[@MrSteven5975]

Soon !!! We gotta find some more.

[@emjeelibunao2742]

For those who are wondering (foreign viewers), Shower is not that common use for us filipinos, If the Household has a shower, most probably filipinos will still opt to use our traditional way, "tabo" as we believe that we can take our bath more cleaner.

[@markledesma2396]

Wow a cute house in the country!

With that apartment the 500 dollar a month dream in the Philippines could come true...😎

[@AlexisMartinez-uo8uw]

How is the internet in areas like this? I work online and am considering renting something like this. Can you get wifi set up inside? Is the internet connection on your phone strong enough that you could make a hot spot and do video calls on your computer here?

[@stephenturner8911]

£12 pounds a week love it and there is me paying £700 pounds for a two bedroom place i must be mad 😠

[@MrSteven5975]

$60 a month is the best deal around. But the video I did yesterday for the $100 rental is nicer and better area too.

[@stephenturner8911]

@@MrSteven5975 keep up these good videos once again and yes i watched that one yesterday thanks 👍

[@johnh472]

Personally, I would rather pay 10 times as much for a much more civilised place with no Cockerels, damp or bugs.

[@Chris-gi9ch]

$60 a month? No problem. I'd give the landlord a sweet bribe for permission to modify for an a/c unit, and for the toilet, including to bring it back to original if he wants all at my cost!

After 15 minutes I would feel like a smothered smurf. Give me off-white any day. Otherwise I could deal with that if I was alone.

It’s a very Caribbean feel to that color. I actually like it.

[@joseinluzon2218]

Awesome. Love it. Most foreigners will tell you that for that money, you’ll be living in a grass hut! Not true. You just have to look around and stop trying to live like you are in the USA. This is the real Philippines. I have a/c in my bedroom. Great point that a place like that lets you to travel and not worry about the cost of maintaining your home. I cant wait until travel opens up again!

Some foreigners here don’t understand how well they have it here. It’s so easy to tweak your budget here to save and still live a great life here.

Where about is it your filming from great vlog rather than people rambling on

[@robertmain337]

I did notice in the video there was no fridge or anything to cook on.

[@MrSteven5975]

That’s up to the renter

[@kevinburns9717]

2 burner stove $25

[@ricke6854]

Could use a little stove and fridge and a shower head . Yeah maybe a paint job and a bit of tile.

[@MrSteven5975]

The tile is new in this one and very nice. It has a stove out back and a fridge is cheap. It was also recently painted. It needs a ladies touch.

How do Philipinos bathe? I didn't notice a shower in the bathroom.

[@melquelagradante5911]

We used a tabo/pitcher and balde/bucket.

[@TheMantis1968]

Run water into a big bucket. Then you take a small bucket(Tabo), and scoop water from the big bucket. Then take the small bucket, hold it above your head and turn it upside down.

[@masterroshi8812]

we dont take bathe

[@tstimpert33]

You use the same bucket and pail to take a bath and flush the toilet. Its more of a bath (without the tub) than a shower. If the water pressure is good then you could add a hose with a shower head and hang it.

[@boink800]

It seems that there is not a hot water heater in the space.

[@justme-sd6ye]

It comes with a gecko? Awesome!!! They should charge extra for the "pet fee"! LOL 😂🤣😂 For $60, that's not bad, only a bit small for me. I think I finally realized why the bedrooms are typically so small compared to western sized ones - it's easier to cool a smaller space, be it by fan or aircon. Great informational video. Thanks!

[@MrSteven5975]

AC in a small area is definitely better

This is great information that you give out on your Channel and make it so interesting. U inform and educate your viewers. Plus, U help the American folks and others who want to live a Retired life or a more slow paced peaceful life with minimum expenses there in the Philippines. Which Island is Trece Marties located ? Not too familiar with the 7,000 Plus Islands that the Philippines is comprised off? Thanks again for very informative and educational videos. Cheers!

I would rent that in a heartbeat , l would need a seat but have no problem with the flusher, roosters are your friends.

[@jeffwalker1322]

Are there any places built more western style. I don’t like long narrow rooms like that. Those homes would be a no-go for me. I don’t like being right up on everyone either. I would want a house with square rooms and a yard. I am seriously thinking about coming to the Philippines but I didn’t work hard my whole life to live like that. Not saying I need a large place. That main room as you call it is a hallway. There is enough square feet, just built wrong. Half as long as twice as wide would give some useable / livable space.

[@MrSteven5975]

There many are but with the virus they are difficult to find. When I can get in some I’ll show them.

hi Steve, ive been watching all your old videos on cheap apartments. most are 2 or 3 years old. how realistic is it in 2024 to find a place for south of $100 a month? im coming over in april and would love to find a place in this range no matter how simple it is. thanks!

[@MrSteven5975]

They have not changed in Trece Martires very much in my area.

[@rayspringer8055]

The glass on the wall makes me wonder what the crime rate there is...does one have to worry that much about burglaries?

[@MrSteven5975]

The crime here is actually almost nonexistent in my area. That is the Mayors house and her husband who was my friend was killed in a political assasination. He was a very good man too. Since then she built the wall and is highly protected. Politics here can be a dangerous game in the mayoral races. Still safe for regular people though.
