Saan magandang tumira ngayon?

[wakin]

my mom is currently living in cainta and I assumed you know what happened dito. now, im looking for a new home for my mom. budget is 1.4M. baka may suggestion kayo kung saan hindi binabaha pero ang location is also nearby that town. (kung meron man)

I think Paranaque wasn't affected too much by Ondoy but you have to stretch your budget. You have to choose an area in the village na mataas. May ibang village kasi na sa ibang street may baha sa iba naman wala.

Mandaluyong wasn't that much affected (aside from the area around City Hall and Kalentong St areas)

You can also try looking into upper Pasig City area (those areas near Shaw Bvld)

Along the Alabang-Zapote Road. Just stay away from Zapote which is by Manila Bay and Muntinlupa(?) which is by Laguna de Bay.

Friends at Dona Manuela Subd-Philamlife Village-BF Resort didn't have any problems with Ondoy.

Sa 1.4M most likely condo yan or a small townhouse..

Agree with Cathy. Kahit outside M.Manila, yang budget na yan, parang kapos. Di ka makakakuha ng magandang location ng subdivision with that amount.

*TS,

How long does your mom lived in that area?

I guess, your main concern now is location, location. But you shouldn't limit yourself with this. Do you prefer (or your mom) to get a pre-owned house, build a new one or through a developer? I suggest you to ask the services of an architect, (preferably an architect-builder, not an architect-contractor). Kahit consult lang. There's a blog that is worth reading for home-buyers. I myself is looking for our "second home", although developers are more expensive, I prefer to buy from them because of personal needs/criteria.

Valley View Executive Village in Cainta is uphill, yun nga lang pag labas mo sa Ortigas Extension at Brookside baha din. My sister lives there and they are isolated for 2 days even if they were not flooded.

Nearby areas in Cainta is also flood prone areas like Pasig, San Mateo, and Antipolo. These areas are only few meters high from Laguna Lake water level.

These areas are like catch basin for waters coming from upland areas in the North side like Fairview, SJDM Bulacan, and more towns East side and some cities on the South side facing Laguna.

You can either choose to go up north of Metro Manila like Fairview, Lagro and SJDM Bulacan on the side of Fairview QC (cheaper cost of lot/sqm, no toll fees via Fairview) or go up south like Paranaque area (with toll fees).

But for P1.4M it would be outside MManila na yan or condo within MManila.

honestly, better off abroad..

Meron wala pang sang million, condo sa dulo ng mindanao ave sauyo area. Pero siempre dont expect too much.

How about Cityland condo?

[oliver1013]

Ayan pwede rin yan kaya lang yung alam kong cityland na papasok sa budget na yan binaha rin. Yung sa may Pasig manggahan area. Windsor mansions ata. Pero on a positive note hanggan bewang lang daw.

[valvura]

south e.g. Sta. Rosa Laguna, near & to the west of SLEX but NEVER near or east of Old National (NEPA) Highway towards Laguna de Bay. there's a number of pre-owned H & L for sale in that area (like my H & L in San Lorenzo South perhaps) within the budget you stated.

without traffic, it's just about 30 minutes drive to makati.

guys, thank you for all your replies. I will take note of it. How about the area of rancho estate in marikina/antipolo? anyone who knows someone there to check if that area is not affected?

Bro.,- there was a portion of PhilamLife Village that got flooded chest-deep some years ago. Am not sure this time but to my mind, most probably they experienced the same....... Cause was the sudden release of the water from the dam in San Nicolas, Cavite,- overflowing the Zapote River.....

just to share,

we are very pleased that we were able to get a place in scout area in quezon city that didn't felt the typhoon- floodwater and garbage or anything that ondoy brought to the majority of MM.

although it's a condo, the vicinity is clear of those mentioned above, even the basement parking were safe, not to mention the accessibility to most places

Ang alam ko yung surrounding areas ang flooded. Mataas ang rancho estate itself. Lilac street coming from sumulong hiway lagpas tao yan. sa kabilang side, champagnat ave e bumaha din most likely at least chest deep. meron creek traversing champagnat na umapaw.
Ma-stranded ka dyan sa rancho estate pero di naman bahain house mo.
Pag panay ang ulan safe mag-stay sa house pero stock ka basic needs.

[Jun aka Pekto]

Hmmmm. I wonder what will happen to property values if a flood study for Metro Manila is ever completed?

I'm sure the owners of the properties in the most flood-free zones would be touting their location as a plus. They'd probably jack up prices and vice versa for those in flood-prone zones.

ok lang siguro na ma stranded sa bahay at least hindi binaha. with my budget i can't afford to be choosy.

kasyang kasya siguro budget ko sa provident village.
