I live in Batangas and I'm thinking of going back to Manila to study for two years (I'm in my 30's). What I need is an apartment (comfortable for one person) in a relatively quiet and safe neighborhood. I plan to enroll in the following classes: swimming, driving, cooking. capoiera, languages and physical fitness. The apartment must be near any three of the schools which offer these classes.
I'm thinking of living in or around Makati but I doubt if my P5,000 monthly budget will be enough to cover the rent.
I'm not really fond of going to malls or watching movies, but I want quick access in and out of the places I need to go to.
Also, does anyone have a clear idea how much a rent in a MM apartment costs these days? Would you suggest that I live in Marikina, Taguig or Las Pinas instead?
Thanks for any good advice you'll share with me.

I would suggest that you live in the center of Metro Manila, like Mandaluyong city. I saw yesterday a newly built residences building called the Bonifacio residences, its in Boni Avenue(one of the main roads in the city which is conveniently connected to Ortigas and eventually to EDSa. I think that the lowest that you can find within a good community is around 7,000 pesos because a 5,000 peso unit is really very rare to be in a good community or a spacious residence, even for one person. At Bonifacio, i think its 7,600 pesos, no lump or hidden charges or hidden tax fees.

6th would be enough if you live in nearby baranggays in makati but not those which are near the malls. Marikina, Las Piñas and Taguig are way too far if you intend to study in Makati. Try nearby baranggays in Makati like in Palanan, or apartments near Taft, La Salle.

i, personally, can give you a one-bedroom unit at the P5 - 6, 500 depending on your length of stay. it is located along the pasay - makati boundary, quite accessible to the business center. for a firmer offer or if you decide to take a look at the place. email me. email address is on my profile.

with that value selection, 2 mattress and 2 baths in metro manila won't be able to take place, belongings costs are skyrocketing at present day. construction your very own residing house in cavite may well be extra possible

a studio type rent costs about P5t -6,500.
those with two bedrooms are about P7t -9t.
i've heard that there are nice apartments in pasig but i think it's too far from where you intend to study.
quezon city,manila and makati apartments are a bit costly now and it's really hard to look for a good one.
