That's one nice place, your friend is very lucky. I'm a veteran and would enjoy living like that.

Happy a fellow vet is living his best life as he deserves overseas. This is the new American dream....

The circle on the gound is a pacing path. It's for people who wander when they are in deep thought or in a phone call. It's quite medatative.

[@TheDocFury]

Good place over all and has potential. Very dated but hay he’s renting. Not sure more than 1-2 people would fit in the tiny kitchen. Not nit picking, he is in a desirable location, very hard to find a larger home with a pool and room outside, many homes here are very dated, they build it then live in it, rent it, let family members live in it till it falls down. Up keep, updating is never a thought here unless the home is owned by an affluent family. Several times I’ve updated for comfort with the owners approval, compared to most homes here it is very nice he is kind to let you vlog it.

Woah... amazing ! And I really love that second floor apartment ! if a scooter could squeeze through the mini alleyway to it it would be very cool. Angeles is not on my radar, but maybe if I am lucky I can find something like that in a target town. Glad he has such a wonderful place to enjoy his retirement.

[@Bellajane127]

Thanks for the house tour! I'd want to live there too especially for the amazing price of the rent. I do know God has a special home he's reserved for us when we move to the Philippines, hopefully next year. I'm looking online right now. We do plan on visiting Subic Bay in July where my husband who served in the US Navy will get baptized in Subic Bay water. He was stationed in Subic for 3 months and went scuba diving by Grande Island. He became a Christ follower in 2021. Take care Mike and God bless! :)

11:46 at 20,000php per month for electricity, a couple of Solar AC might be worth looking into as they might payback in a year. 5000 watts solar should be able to provide about 5 hp of air conditioning and run the pool pump, and cost about $3k to $5K

[@vinnie1711]

The only thing is he does not own it. IF he got a long-term lease, there is plenty of space for the battery room.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

A solar company I had went to see an install for a video last year is now offering renters solar packages, when you move they move it for you. So i let him know about this service

[@jackoneil3933]

@@vinnie1711Good point. If he's planning on stay longer than the payback period, then he's money ahead even if he walks away from it, but he could always sell it, lease it to the new renters or possibly pro-rate rent credits.

I just watched an American guy that pays $73 a month for a nice codo. Yes $73 a month for a nice condo in the same type of quiet neighborhood. It is small but it was quite modern. He painted it and put some pictures up and it looks awesome!! And all for $73 a month! He said was paying a lot less in his previous location but it was very basic Filipino style. It wasn't bad at all, but he got upset the landlord increased the rent by $20 after a year.

[@ThatPhilippinesLife]

In Angeles city! Wow that's amazing

[@larryturner7502]

Having lived all over the Philippines including AC this place is one cluttered mess. And the prices you quote for electricity are many times more than our AC 2500 sq/ft home in a gated community at a rent of almost half of what you mention. I suggest you keep looking amigo.

Angeles was the last stop for me on my 3 month travels in the PH spent a month there and can tell u I definitely won't be back. The medical care and service was not good the food not good infrastructure not good traffic not good people trying to scam u all over the place it is no comparison to Thailand where I live now. I have a 4yr old condo 65 sqm very high up in the Bldg. just renovated right on the beach with absolutely incredible views and all the amenities u could ever want for alot less money and the food here is reason enough to live here its not even close.

5km from Walking Street. Is it Angeles or Dau? If it is in a gate subdivision in Angeles then its a good deal for sure. If it is in a regular area in Dau (non gated) then that would be about a fair market price. House is ok but lot is quite large and nice.

My friend who lives there in angeles city who is also retired usa military just sent me a vacancy for a 2 bedroom apartment for $425.00 plus water and utilities that is kinda small, but near walking street as well. This place although is fairly big with a pool I would not pay $1000.00 for despite being close to walking street. Love walking street, just got back to USA from there some m I nths back, but my next visit I'll need something a little more modern. Don't know how successful I'll be because it's all about location. I didn't care for my friends listing either. Looks kinda slumming. I currently live in las vegas nevada and I just like a little more glamor.

I wasn't impressed. There are so many absolutely beautiful modern homes with breathtaking views priced similar in the P.I's.

Honestly I think it's expensive for the Philippines. If you can afford $80,000 pesos for just rent and electric you could live in America without dealing with the things that we all know are "adjustments" you have to deal with living in the Philippines.

[@dustybuttmining2730]

🤔 hard to find an apartment for that here in any metro area. Not going to find “that” for the same price in states. Not even close. 5x what you get from anything here. Adjustments, they are everywhere municipality to municipality, state to state. Sounds like you haven’t gotten out much.

It's a beautiful place alright and no doubt worth every penny. It's also in a great location since I consider Pampanga the best place in the country to live. I think in Canadian dollars and that 80,000 when electricity is added is $2,000.00 dollars a month which would put that out of reach for 99.9% of expats. For the family that can afford it though, what a terrific way to live.
