Hey everyone!
I'm thinking of making a move from BGC to Mandaluyong. Anyone ever heard of a building called the Fame Residences near SM Mega Mall? I've been really enjoying living in BGC not only because I see so many other foreigners like me walking around town looking relaxed in their daily doings, but also because I too have always felt safe, secure, and comfortable walking around BGC pretty much everywhere I go...it's a great feeling that reminds me of being back home in Canada. However, the prices here in BGC also remind me of being back home in Canada...and trust me...that ain't good!! VERY expensive here in BGC! That said, my rent would be drastically reduced if I move to Mandaluyong, but with that rent reduction will come the associated change in surroundings as it were. I would have considered moving to the provinces, but my filipina partner and I have a 3 month old baby boy so we need access to local pediatricians etc. The main goal in moving there would be to save a significant amount of money every month, and eventually purchase a condo either here in BGC or in Makati. Anyway, just wondering if any foreigners here have lived in Mandaluyong, and if you could share your experience that would be appreciated. Thank you and stay safe :-)
Cheers!
