Best place to live in Marikina? HELP :)

**Lemon** · May 25th, 2006 07:37 PM

Nagreresearch ako sa mga best city to live in the Metro and Marikina ang mukhang OK for me. Malinis, accessible and OK ang local government nila. San ba ang mga gated community na OK sa Marikina? Basta malapit lang sa QC(East Ave area) OK na sa akin. Madami pa ba mga for sale na house & lot sa Marikina? Wala kasi ako masyado nakikita sa mga ads, hopefully madami ang mag-bigay ng input.

Thanks in advance!

sakin parang ok na ok sa may rancho area... ganda and tahimik... not that far from city proper as well..

dami for sale sa buy and sell sa marikina actually, madami din rent...

pag condo, yung marquinton medyo overprice pero may mall na sa harap at harap ng sports-center na mismo.

ok din yung mga big houses sa may Tuazon, near the sports-center nadin, gaganda ng mga bahay... 5mins away from Sta. Lucia/Robinsons.

Yang Rancho area na iyan, malapit diyan si afrasay at djerms. Si djerms sa loob ata mismo ng Rancho. Madaming Tsikoteers sa Marikina. Yung shop ni crawdaddy (4x4ph.com) and si Trup tiga-dun din.

Favorite city ko iyang Marikina. Yes, maganda siya. Kaso medyo malayo sa Manila, eh.

May house and lot for sale sa SSS Village Phase III. You can probably take a look at it from the outside. It's a nice house, elevated kesa sa road, 4bedrooms, 2 fullbaths, kasya 2 cars sa garahe. kilala ko mayari and i've been there many times, maluwag sa loob. wala ng nakatira ngayon. yung contact info eh nakapaskil ata sa fence. #5 Dawn St., SSS Village., malapit sa Panorama St.

Having lived in Marikina for more than 10 yrs, I would say that it has transformed to one of the best in MM. I suggest you visit the place and make you choice which of the subdivisions mentioned are suitable to your needs. There are also a lot of good schools, accessible to the malls, hospitals, markets. Highly recommended!

Industrial Valley maganda din.

Cinco Hermanos, etc still count as Marikina, right?

if ever you do get to find a nice place in marikina ask around first kung binabaha don. some areas of marikina are still prone to flooding, like some portions of sss village and yung subdivisions na medyo malapit sa marikina river. medyo mahigpit din sa marikina, taxes like say for real estate and businesses have to be paid on time or else, very immediate ang consequence. even for animals strict sila don. they not only pick up stray dogs and cats, nagbabahay-bahay na din sila ngayon at pag nakita na may aso ka sa bahay at d mo naparehistro mananagot ka talaga. pati sa hakutan ng basura. one time nagputol kami ng puno kasi sumasabit na sa mga electric wires. kelangan ischedule mo talaga yung pagpick up ng mga naputol na branches, at naka-segregate na din daw dapat ang dahon (naisako na daw dapat) at mga sanga.

basta if ever you do decide to choose a place in marikina try to stay away sa mga subdivisions na malapit sa mga slum areas don. lalo na sa tumana area, notorious yung place na yun. araw-araw may patay, sabi ng mga pulis sinusumpak daw. kahit sila d nila mapasok ilang areas sa loob, magulo talaga at may mga criminals na dun na din nagtatago. we live on a subdivision na malapit sa tumana, just 2 weeks ago tinira yung mga metro ng tubig, more than 50 households kami sa subdivision na nanakawan

FYI, may portion ng Rancho na Antipolo and may portion Marikina. Ok sa may New Marikina kasi malapit na siya malls like Blue Wave Marquinton, Sta. Lucia and Robinsons Metro East. Mahal lang bentahan ng lote per sq meter dun. If you want, tahimik. Sa may Marikina Heights. Madami available town houses dun and malapit pa sa schools like Marist & St. Scholastica.
