Condos are seen as an expensive way to live. However, if you dig deeper, condos can actually be more affordable than landed properties, especially if you want to locate in city centers. If you’re working in OrtigasCenter in the Philippines for example, looking for a Pasig condo for rent (especially within OrtigasCenter itself) will likely be a more affordable option as compared to a house for rent in the nearby village of Valle Verde.
Of course, there are cheaper apartments for rent in less affluent communities, but of course, the standard of living is not the same. If you want to achieve condo living that’s on the budget-friendly side, here are the best options for you to check out in the heart of Metro Manila:
1. Brixton Place
If you want to live in a new condo near Bonifacio Global City, but without the price tag that comes along with it, you should check out DMCI’s Brixton Place in Kapitolyo, Pasig City. Located right across the BGC-Ortigas Link Bridge, Brixton Place offers accessibility to OrtigasCenter and Bonifacio Global City.
Brixton Place offers units from 1 to 3 bedrooms, ranging from 30 to almost 84 square meters. Residents can enjoy the panoramic view of BGC, Ortigas, Makati, and also of Antipolo.
2. Avida Towers Asten
Avida Land, an arm of top local developer Ayala Land, focuses on building properties for middle-income families. Avida offers affordable condo options in key locations including Avida Towers Asten in Makati City.
