I grew up in Makati (but for obvious reasons i couldnt afford buying there).

Moved all the way to QC and never looked back. I wasn't even homesick on my first day here. On the contrary, i was super excited to start my life in this area.

Try to get in a private subdivision for:

1) noise issues
2) safety and security
3) avoid parking chaos
4) peace of mind with a strong, proactive homeowners association and community

This is the frustration of UF and I. 20s pa lang kami we talked about that already how we don't think we could afford to buy in Makati. We are in the same situation that the house is owned by the grandparents. UF recently married nga and she now lives in Ortigas. In our barkada, kami kasi malapit bahay (though different village) kaya we spent a lot of time together.

EQ, why not Magallanes? It's relatively priced lower?

Magallanes is freaking expensive.

And i moved out of my folks place in my 20s. There was no way i was even considering anything in makati.

My first purchase was actually in La Marea near susana heights. Never got to move in. Sold it and used the proceeds to buy a tiny property in quezon city.

I meant compared to other villages in Makati hehe. I thought kasi from your parents house you moved na to your current house in QC e IIRC you mentioned 1000 sq m so that's huge

When i bought in QC. 200 sqm was my first property in this area.

Then upgraded as time progressed.

prices in the Kapitolyo area will increase soon once that bridge connecting to BGC gets operational. it will also increase traffic in the area bringing with it additional noise and pollution.

Tagal nang tumaas.

More than 4x in the past 10 years precisely because of the bridge.

I wonder how a subdivision eventually becomes exclusive?

Grew up in a subdivision kasi before (BF Homes in Paranaque) but it never became exclusive or appreciated significantly faster in value. Same with other middle class villages like Greenwoods. Pero villages like LGV and even Xavierville/White Plains dati hindi naman super expensive but now their prices have skyrocketed.

Wide roads. Bigger cuts. Proximity to elite schools and CBDs. Active and progressive homeowners associations.

Restricted development (i.e. cant keep subdividing lots into smaller ones).

Though i would say proximity / location plays the biggest role.
