    Hello tsikoteers, me and my wife are planning to buy a house and unfortunately our budget will only allow us to consider places in the outskirts of Manila.

    We both work in Quezon City and are currently eyeing houses in Rizal or Bulacan.

    I would like to get inputs on which area would be better to settle in and start our family (we currently have a 1 year old and are planning on trying for another child in 1 or 2 years).

    mag rizal ka sa antipolo. Isang direchong byahe yan lang lets say sa cogeo ka tumira or kahit yung malapit sa masinag yung may cherry foodarama. Cogeo-masinag-sta lucia-santolan-cubao-aurora/erod. Saan qc ka magwork?

    Pag umabot yung LRT-II sa masinag eh laking ginhawa kasi yan yun lugar na sumisikip. Jan nagkukumpulan bus, jeep, kotse, motorcycle. Yan ang crucial = welcome to masinag station.

    Ito pa, sa antipolo wala ka tollgate na babayaran. Mapuno din jan at malamig sa gabi. Hindi pa binabaha unlike doon sa area ng sta lucia mall na nagmumukhang ilog pag typhoon season.

    Sa bulacan wala ako alam. Ang recolletion ko lang madami magaganda bulakena ang kikinis. Jan ako nagbakasyon highschool days sa sapang-palay yung farm dati ng uncle ko.

    Ay ito, pag isipan mo mabuti yang bulacan kasi paano kung jan itatayo airport eh bwisit yan. Traffic galore.

    Oo nga pala wag din kakalimutan kung ano ang water source ah. You dont want yung nangyayari sa south yun laguna de bay.

    remember cherry hills? that area around antipolo (marcos hway) is prolly unstable.
    i previously checked a lot in angono (just near boundary of antipolo) and it was one of my final choices back then. it eliminated itself because of traffic in ortigas ave ext and manila east road.
    if bulacan, try the eastern side. western side is around sea level and is prone to floods.

    but if it is just me and the only option is outskirts of mm, i'll look at laguna (major down side is tolls could take a toll :D)

    Avoid Rizal area if you are planning to relocate soon... The traffic condition is not worth it.. I live in Rizal area for 20+ years and there's no better days on traffic condition.. It's getting worst due to developments..

    When I loan for a lot. I chose Bulacan area.. Specifically San Jose Del Monte.. the development projects there are just plans 5 years ago.. I thought it will start after 20 years.. Surprisingly the developments started early..

    If you are not in a rush.. You can check SkysraperCity Forum.. Meron din sila mobile app.. Kung tsikot forun sa kotse.. for infrasture and development plans naman sa SkysraperCity ka magcheck.. Rizal or Bulacan Search ka ng lugar dun..

    Kaya ko napili San Jose Del Monte Bulacan nung time na searching ako mga 5-7 years ago.. Wala ako plan na mag relocate agad until now.. For investment lang sana.. Tapos nakita ko yung MRT-7, SM San Jose Del Monte, QualiMed Hospital, Collegio San Agustin, STI, ABS-CBN Sound Stage at iba pang Ayala plans.. Lahat yun plano palang that time.. Kala ko mga 20 years pa bago mag umpisa (knowing slow development sa Pinas).. Pero ngayon existing na silang lahat.. Natuwa naman ako at mukhang totoo naman pala yung information sa forum.. Kala ko tsismis lang hehehe..

    Syempre punta ka mismo sa area na target mo at try mo bisitahin ng rush hour, rainy days at weekends.. Try mo din isipin kung madali lang puntahan kapag commute at tipid ba sa pamasahe.. (yung iba kasi ang hirap, kelangan mag tricycle na ang mahal pa ng pamasahe compared sa taxi)..

    At syempre same din ng kotse.. Need mo iprioritize kung ano din magpapasaya sayo in the long run.. Need mo syempre i consider siguro yung school, public market, mall, hospital atbp.. Mas accessible sa mga ito tingin ko mas sustainable in the long run at less stress sa byahe..

    Good luck po Sir sa paghahanap.. Rizal or Bulacan

    Look up Highlands Pointe Taytay. Okay neighborhood, medyo opulent, uphill so hindi binabaha. Overlooking Laguna Bay - Manila. Beside it, there's also Havila and Zuri na I think mas mura. There's also Glennrose Subd. before those kaso nabili na ata lahat dun. Most ng Grab drivers na naghahatid sakin nagagandahan sa area, parang province pa daw kasi you don't get to see that in Metro Manila. And our place is nothing compared to those places I mentioned. Downside is, dadaan ka ng ortigas ave ext na traffic. Ang lapit lang ng Rizal kung hindi traffic. But flooded areas is what I will really be wary of. Binabaha ang ilang areas ng East.

    May mga subdivisions din sa Sumulong Hway Antipolo. Nagagandahan din ako sa area na to kasi overlooking. Rizal or Bulacan

    During rush hour lang ba ang traffic?

    Thank you sa tip sa Bulacan. Mga tinitignan namin is sa me San Jose Delmonte saka sa Marilao.

    Mukhang traffic going to QC/Manila talaga ang downside sa Rizal.

    Will check out SkyscraperCity. Thank you sa tip.

    pinakita sa news ngayon sa channel 7.

    17 BAYAN SA BULACAN, APEKTADO NG 'DI NAKOKOLEKTANG BASURA.

    2 weeks na daw ganyan, may gumuho hindi madaanan garbage truck kalsada.

    Sa bulacan kasi parang magulo jan eh. Sila ni cavite tapunan ng squatter.

    Pag usapang rizal wag talaga yung sa ortigas extension yung dadaan ng pasig. Pucha ang gulo jan ang sikip pa ng kalsada. Yan yung may bus na pasig/quiapo/cainta junction. Dusa jan.

    The best antipolo na is yung straight lang. Ang favorite ko jan si sun valley. Gusto ko jan kasi araw-araw parang good friday holy week ambience sobrang tahimik. Kung nalalayuan ka yung bandang cherry foodarama na forgot the name ng village.

    Yep, downside sa Rizal yung traffic condition pero malapit lang sana sya.. And yep may mga tago na subdivision dito na may magandang overlooking at malamig na parang Tagaytay kapag ber months.. Sa Antipolo area sa cogeo/masinag side.. Ginagawa pa yung mrt dun ngayon kaya heavy traffic dun kapag rush hour.. Sa bandang Taytay/Angono/Binangonan.. Eto recent news about traffic..

    3 bayan sa Rizal umaaray sa traffic dulot ng Manila Water repairs | TV Patrol - YouTube

    Yung sa San Jose Del Monte.. Mataas na lugar din sya.. May part dun na overlooking din.. Sakto ngayon tag ulan pede mo makita kung yung daan ba from work nyo papunta sa target future home nyo ay ok din ba at di binabaha..


    =============================
    OT lang:
    Dun sa nabanggit ni Kags.. About informal settlers.. I think bawat lugar meron nyan.. di lang pansin sa main roads.. Pero meron nyan sa bawat lugar na malapit sa City and sa City mismo dahil nandun ang trabaho.. And kung maunlad ang isang bayan meron talagang kaguluhan dyan at maraming magnanakaw.. Kasi nandun ang target nila, andun ang pera.. For safety of course avoid going to places na ma-compromise safety mo at build a house na ma-minimize danger din and possible intrusion.. Dahil sa panahon ngayon wala naman safe na lugar.. Rizal or Bulacan Rizal or Bulacan

    Ang about waste management problema yan sa bawat bayan.. meron lang naha highlight.. Dito sa Rizal hindi lang nababalita pero meron din issue dito about waste management.. Sobrang poor ng waste management sa Pinas wag lang tayo mag base lang sa media to tag the place on negative side.. Better be out there and experience it first hand.. Kung baga sa kotse i-test drive..
