The reality of searching for an apartment lies in three factors - location, infrastructure, and…read moreprice - wherein you can only choose two. It blows, and it makes for a lot of frustrating searches. Thank the cosmos for reviews, where you could start with your apartment hunt at the comfort of your childhood bedroom. This is a review for the apartment building of 189 Maginhawa. You're welcome. PROS: Security? You are literally beside the Quezon City Police Department HQ. They also have security people, a lobby person, and CCTVs on the hallway; Rooms are great, with the building being newly constructed and all. Furnishings have this condo-type feel. I'm placing this in between pros and cons -- Location is great because it's in Maginhawa. Right downstairs or a few blocks away are establishments for a variety of your needs. But it's also not a good location if you're a commuter who goes out for work/school frequently. Tricycles and cabs are hard to come by. CONS: P10,000.00 a month for an 18-square-meter studio apartment, electricity, water, and cable/internet bills not included; I heard phone signal strength weakens inside the units; You climb three floors (or more) of stairs to get to your unit. TL;DR: Infrastructure - impressive. Location - depends if you have your own vehicle, but OK in general. Price - expensive for its size.

Tita Flory's apartments are recommended if you're a student, a young professional starting out in…read morehis or her career, or a young couple with no kids yet. It's a 2-storey complex of studio apartments one tambling away from the bustling Maginhawa scene. Each studio apartment has its own kitchen counter, bathroom, and living/bedroom/dining space. Yes, there are slashes between those functions because the space is tiny - about 20 square meters. It's ideal for just 1-2 people in each apartment. You have your own electricity and water meter, on which bills are sent directly to your room. WiFi? You gotta have yours installed yourself. Pros: Bathrooms are bigger than expected; Security is good - CCTV cameras are placed around the gate and one along the hallway; Peaceful, quiet, and private; Tita Flory is a really nice woman; and, of course, LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. Cons: Relatively expensive, compared to other studio apartments in Krus na Ligas (KnL); Can't throw big dance parties. Unless being in a clown car version of an apartment is your thing. Lounging-lounging lang; She doesn't have a phone number. You have to wait patiently for Tita Flory to go downstairs after pressing the doorbell several times; Limited parking space. TL;DR - Consider living here if you want a small "tulugan lang" and temporary living space while you get your act together. It's decent and safe and comfy.

When I was still in college but decided to move out of mom's Caloocan place, I wanted to live…read moresomewhere near UP just so I don't have to wake that early for my morning classes. Fast forward years later, I've never left Teachers Village East even if my time in university has been over. PROS: I know the names of the street might be confusing for the first couple of years. But with all the booming activity, how could one really not know Maginhawa, Magiting, and Malingap? Teachers Village East houses these streets. And the food festival was held here as well. Restaurants, cafes, laundry shops, spas and salons, printing services, transportation access, this place has it; In spite of the development, this is still a residential area. Lots of apartments and townhouses are for rent/sale; This place is pretty accessible to at least 3 big universities, a handful of malls and churches, hospitals, and even a police headquarters. CONS: This is QC, and this is prime real estate. So expect prices for rent or leases to be expensive. One house for sale costs 14 million pesos; "Mag-ingat sa basag kotse," as indicated in the tarpaulin. Unless the place you'll be staying in has some form of security, try to avoid parking on the streets. It causes traffic and it puts you at risk. I've known two people who had their cars stolen in this barangay. TL;DR: Consider this place for in-the-middle-of-the-city but not too urban living. We're talking about accessibility to establishments but without the high-rise buildings and heavy traffic.

I have been living in Taft Avenue for 5 years now, three of which I have spent living in Orlando…read moreSuites. Before moving to Orlando Suites, we lived in a small apartment near Hotel Benilde. I'd like to be very straightforward and tell you that we got robbed there. Thieves actually broke into our apartment and stole some of our stuff. I don't mean to scare anyone, Taft Avenue is still a pretty good place to stay in. There's still nothing wrong with being a little careful though. After the incident, my parents thought we should live in an apartment building with good security. This is why we are now staying in Orlando Suites. The place is a nice, 10-storey building with 8 residential floors, a pool and a function room on the third floor, a gym, tennis and badminton court, a pool table and a rooftop garden on the tenth floor. Pretty nice, huh? They also have bi-monthly pest control programs to ensure pest-free living. And if you're too lazy to clean your own unit, the maintenance team can do it for you for 250 pesos each. Lastly, the security team is amazing! There are at least 7-10 security guards in the building to protect you and would sometimes also help you with your bags and groceries, or getting a cab. So for those looking for a place in Taft, try Orlando Suites. I'll see you there!

The first time I moved to Manila, I was living in the tiniest studio apartment you could ever…read moreimagine. It was a box, basically, and while you're sitting on the toilet, you can rest your forehead on the wall you're facing without undue stretching. It was that tiny. So when my sisters moved in with me to attend college in DLSU, I was thrilled. That meant a bigger apartment! My parents ended up choosing an apartment in Orlando Suites. Not only was it in a very central location, it was also only 10-stories high. My dad had a thing about tall buildings, which was a sound fear, since in a building this low, I won't die if the elevator was undergoing maintenance or something. It was also very secure, and after three years of living here, we were chummy with all the security guards. We even get invited to their Christmas parties. Aside from their roomy and airy apartments, they also offer dormitory-style residences for those who like to live with other people. It's sad that we may have to move soon -- this has been home for so long.

My friend Lara is from Las Pinas originally but mid-college she and her brother had to find a place…read morenearer UPD, so their family got a unit at Regalia. This move of hers would prove to be one of the greatest points in my life and those of my friends as her apartment became our general tamabayan, shooting location, editing suite, and party venue for most of our college and post-college lives. It was a quick thirty minutes or less from UPD, a walkable distance from our local haunt, Cubao X, and just a general convenience just beside EDSA and P. Tuazon. Even with pretty tight society (part of it was a hotel before) and a dearth of parking options, we've had the most intimate nights, greatest lazy afternoons, and biggest parties in their little unit, probably having close to thirty people there in the one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment. I've swum in their year-round frigid swimming pool, snuck into their rooftop while it was still under construction, shot and edited school projects there, climbed the twenty so floors to their place when the elevators weren't available, and had the best times of my life there. We've since grown older, had less time and reason to party, and even Lara had to move out at some point to work in Manila, so for a while our lives were Regalia-less. Now she's come back, but now it's a little worse for wear with the construction of another tower and a neighboring condominium. They've lost their roundabout driveway and when you come in you feel like you going into work at a factory. But hopefully this all changes for the better soon.

My family's been househunting for the last couple of months since my parents want to move closer to…read moreus here in the city and my sisters are tired of living in a cramped apartment in the middle of Malate. Last week, my dad got a call from a real estate agent working for Lancaster Estates about a new development area in Cavite, so we went to visit the site and look at their model units. Because of Cavitex, the trip only took around 20 minutes from the Mall of Asia, and the place was great. They had great options, for really low prices. 16 grand a month for your own house? That's not bad, not bad at all. To top it all off, their staff were the kindest and most helpful people you can ask for, which made the experience a whole lot better. We'd definitely consider this place, and might just do more than that.

Who hasn't heard about Maginhawa? Seriously?…read more PROS: It has the perfect balance of the residential- and commercial-area feel that a middle-class millennial like me is looking for while gearing up and growing up into an adult; If you haven't heard, Maginhawa houses lots of restaurants that are NOT franchises or chain ones, but small- and medium-enterprises by young professionals. It's a "for the yuppies, by the yuppies" kind of place that has all kinds of eateries, in every form of quirk and theme. There's a food fest by October too. Aw yeah; It's perfectly accessible to and from a lot of places. CONS: It's not as urban as Makita with its high rise condos and corporate offices a few steps away, nor is it some gated subdivision with tight security. As the tarpaulins state, "Mag-ingat sa basag kotse." TL;DR: Maginhawa is home. I've always been thinking that if I could relocate anywhere in Metro Manila, I'd still be perfectly happy here in Teachers Village.

Living very near the Tomas Morato strip has been amazing. This foodie haven means a wide array of…read morefood choices to satisfy every craving. So when I found out that the company that I will be working for is located along Maginhawa, I was extremely excited. I have never really tried roaming around the strip so this was my chance to do so. My office mates and I vowed to try at least one new restaurant a week, but failed to do so. Not only did we keep going back to our favourites, eating out too often was hard on the wallet. Thankfully, most of the restaurants offer student-budget prices. My favourites would have to be Katsu Café, Gerry's Jeepney, Pino, Rodic's , Jeck's Ku-Bo, and Crepeman. I have yet to try so many restaurants on my list, and the list just keeps on getting longer because it seems like there is a new restaurant opening every week.
