Larry45 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Yep, that's what we're looking for....a peaceful home with good neighbors. We've stayed in our present home for 2.5 years and the rent is a bargain and it's usually quiet at night. But the neighbors are either getting worse, or (more likely) my tolerances are lessening. We are thinking of a condo in Cebu, as that would hopefully guarantee no roosters, videoke, dogs or muffler-less motors. But then you have slamming doors and neighbors bumping on the walls. If we rent in a subdivision, we have more space, but then the aforementioned issues would likely present themselves. SO....my question is....what is the quietest way to live here? We have a preference for the Cebu City area as we have done our time in the province and are looking for a few steps up and some more open-minded locals. Besides, we need to be near schools, good medical care and some bars to down my sorrows after our new home turns out to be even more noisy than this one. :1 (103): Budget p30k or less. Thanks in advance for any tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum Support scott h Posted September 26, 2015 Forum Support Posted September 26, 2015 Up front, This is not your area of interest. But just an overall impression. My wifes friends built a house in Tagayatay and it is as quiet out there as a tomb so first suggestion is out in the sticks, but that's away from your medical and social. Her other friends have homes in a subdivision called BF Homes. I would say it is solid upper middle class. We have visited several times and was very nice and quiet, with good security and access to all the amenities. I did a quick google and saw several houses in your price range. Have no idea of what they look like myself, just food for thought. So if it was ME, I would be looking into Subdivisions in your area. Good luck brother :cheersty: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBM Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Larry from my Cebu experience it's doubtful you will find what you seek. If on the off chance it's found the second your foot is out the door it's gone... If you find what you seek, be sure to post it, myself and most of the forum will move there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Peterson Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 It is far Quieter on Negros, Even our Cities are far quieter than on Cebu or Luzon and apart from the latest scare a lot Safer.

I've heard about its cooler temperature and quiet rural area but only a short drive to the coast where you're at. Salamat po! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidK Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 There are condos in Cebu City that fit the bill in terms of noise and access to bars, medics etc. (of course how close is close?) but I don't know about cost because that depends on how much space you want/need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are thinking of a condo in Cebu Isn't Cebu the most LOUD city? :) Even if you find a quiet place with good neighbours, you never know if it will be same next month... A Swede-Filipina couple had a house in a calm place. Then the closest neighbour started having karaoke bar...
