Discover compelling reasons to live in Antipolo. Change your lifestyle for good.
WHY SHOULD I MOVE OUT OF METRO MANILA?
ANTIPOLO GUY ANSWERS WHY!
Hi Friend, chances are you discovered this website because you’ve been asking yourself the question up there.
Most likely, the pandemic has made you want space.
Space for your kids to be able to play outside safely,
space for a garden or mini-farm for my fellow plantitos and titas maybe?
Space for a nice home office for your work-from-home set up.
A safe space. A beautiful dream home.
I get it! It’s the same dream for many of our clients.
Metro Manila just feels crowded yeah? I understand! I used to live there too.
But I grew up in Antipolo. And lockdown was so much more comfortable and less anxiety-ridden when you’re surrounded by nature, fresh air, and views. If you’re needing some reassurance that its a good idea to make that move to Antipolo, here are the top reasons.
REASONS TO LIVE IN ANTIPOLO
Cleaner, Fresher Air and Cooler Climate
Want Tagaytay weather? Then Antipolo is one of your best options. It's not uncommon to wake up to a foggy day in Antipolo and you can literally smell the difference in air quality once you get close to these villages. Some villages can go as high as 1,300 feet above sea level and as cold as 19° degrees in Jan-Feb.
Watch that video to see what I mean.
Happier Families in the New Normal
A life after the pandemic looks radically different since people no longer want to be confined to condo spaces or over crowded cities. Want your kids to be able to play in a backyard or garden? Want to walk your dog without worrying about traffic? There is a different kind of freedom with being in a village where you don't have to worry about your family being at risk.
Healthy Natural Spaces
Nature and the environment are scientifically proven to boost physical and mental health. Some villages in Antipolo offer not just vast open spaces, but breath-taking views and a variety of outdoor recreational options for a healthier lifestyle. Some of Antipolo's premium villages even preserve open spaces that will be untouched by future developments. FUN FACT: There are 4 golf clubs in Antipolo too!
Best of Both Worlds (It's Not that Far)
You can still work in the city, or go out with friends without having to feel isolated in the mountains and pay toll. Would you believe me if I told you that it only takes me 1 hour to get to Mandaluyong from my place in Antipolo? It may have a bad rep on being far, but to be honest Antipolo is ONLY 16km from Ortigas.
Peace and Relaxation for Mental Health
Everyday can feel like a vacation when you look outside your house and see trees, an amazing view and be surrounded by peace and quiet. And the best part, some villages can offer views of the city skyline, mountains, golf courses, the Laguna de Bay and more to inspire you and help recharge your mental health.
Double, or Even Triple Your Investment
Did you know before Skyway was built, prices in Ayala Alabang were below Php 14k/sqm… Today property prices have ballooned to over Php 100k/sqm. So if you had a time machine and you could buy property in Ayala Alabang before before the infrastructure and the developers came in, would you?
The good news is that you don’t need a time machine! Antipolo is poised to experience the same boom. IF you come in early. Ask me what the prices are here now versus just 4 years ago when I started selling here.
For more info watch our video to know all about the infrastructure developments happening in the coming years, and see why we are so excited about this place.

but WAIT! before you move,
here are things you need to consider!
And why you should take it from me...
ANTIPOLO REAL ESTATE FACT #1: THE ERRATIC PRICES
When buying Antipolo lots, you may be wondering WHY ARE THE PRICES SO VARIED, even for one village. For example, you will find lots for sale at P9k per sqm all the way to P25k per sqm in the exact same village. That is because you actually have 2 options. RESALE and DEVELOPER LOTS.
What’s the difference? Simple… it all boils down to your preferred mode of payment.
Option 1: RESALE – aka. lots in the secondary market. These lots are below market price, sometimes as much as 50% OFF, because the sellers usually want cash or bank financing as the mode of payment. We recommend these options for those who want an investment, to get their lots cheaper. There are exceptions, some sellers may be agreeable to installment terms, but that’s a rare case and it usually comes with unpaid arrears on the seller’s side.
Another thing to consider about the resale market is that some villages offer only resale options such as Parkridge, because these villages have been sold out by the developer and have been completely turned over to the Homeowner’s Association.
Option 2: DEVELOPER LISTINGS – If the village you are interested in is still handled by the developer, and they have existing inventory or newly launched phases, you will most likely see pricier listings from P14,500 t0 P50,000 per square for premium villages already. These may be pricier but the developers often provide amazing payment terms.
This may seem expensive, but compare a premium P14,500/sqm property in Antipolo vs. a premium property in Metro Manila? That’s still a crazy difference if you ask me.
ANTIPOLO REAL ESTATE FACT #2: THE LARGE CUTS
Another common discovery that people have about Antipolo lots is that lots here, especially for the more high-end villages, run on the bigger side. With some premium villages having a minimum cut of 300sqm. Examples of these include Eastland Heights and Fairmount Hills. But this also means you can get huge cuts of land for much cheaper than you would in Metro Manila. Large properties will also give you more space for big gardens or outdoor living, and enough distance from neighbors.
How do I know these things? I have been selling Antipolo lots for over 4 years and I am accredited in multiple villages to sell both resale lots in the secondary market and developer listings.
I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of hours shooting, making content, researching the villages and brokering lots. So I can share with you all the unbiased insider info I’ve gathered over the years, of the best locations, best amenities, best views and best prices.
Let’s talk.
I also grew up in Antipolo and I lived in Metro Manila for college and during my early professional years. So by now I would like to think that I know the PROS and CONS of the area, and the Antipolo lifestyle, well enough to give helpful insight.
I also have a lot of opinions as a homeowner myself and through my personal experience buying lots here as well, especially about the best villages for an aspiring homeowner’s specific needs.
When looking at villages, here are the top things I personally look for and I recommend that people research on. Because making a move out of the city is a BIG decision.
- Safety - is the neighborhood safe and monitored?
- Internet - AKA is there a reliable provider?
- Nearby establishments and institutions - what are the schools, groceries, malls, churches and hospitals nearby?
- Accessibility - are there public transport options and how far is it from major central business districts?
- Community and family friendly quality - are there enough amenities to keep a growing family or a retiree entertained
-
Natural environment - are there enough open spaces, garden areas, clean air, and VIEWS.
Depending on what you need, there are a number of Antipolo villages that may suit your requirements!
MY TOP RECOMMENDED VILLAGES...
based on location, investment potential, developer track record, and features.
EASTLAND HEIGHTS
Eastland Heights is developed by Megaworld’s Global Estates Resorts Inc. It offers lots with golf course views, mountain views, city skyline and has a prestigious golf course inside the village. It’s still preselling though, so I can recommend this to those who can wait. I have so many videos about this village on my YouTube channel below.
SUN VALLEY
Sun Valley is another huge village that is packed with amenities and it already has an established community. It also has a golf course and some of the highest peaks in Antipolo. I recommend this village for those who want a relaxing place to retire or for young families. I have a ton of videos on the YouTube channel about this place too!
FAIRMOUNT
If you want big cuts and a more privacy, this exclusive village is for you! Minimum lots here are 600sqm and not a lot of people know it exists! But once you enter, it has a Forbes Park vibe with lots of trees and huge houses.
PARKRIDGE
This is one of the most famous villages in Antipolo for those looking to invest and it has one of the closer city skyline views in Antipolo. For those who want to be as close to Metro Manila as possible and still enjoy the perks of living in Antipolo, this is one of your best options!
