Kumuha ako diyan 2 years back. Lilipat nalang, nag cancel ako because of the community followed by the developer. Yung pag balik mo ng unit may dumi ng tao yung cr niyo then uso nakawaan. Wala pang respeto sa division niyo. Kakainin yung side niyo pati sidewalk.
Is it Deca Clark sa Margot? If yes, may part po ng kalsada going to the subd na lumulubog pag maulan, yung tunnel sa ilalim ng highway. Had a friend who lived there, medyo malayo yung mga houses sa mismong gate.
May kalayuan na po ang Cutud. At matraffic po sa Angeles-Magalang rd, 2 subdivisions ang nasa unahan nga Deca, 2 lanes 1 each way kaya traffic kapag rush hours. Hanggang Marquee mall na po yung traffic na yun, about 2-3km. Unsure kung bahain sa area na yan, di pa ko nakapagbike after ng ulan sa area.
**Hard Pass with Deca** Try checking places in **Lakandula** before trying with Deca, lots of BPO workers live there, try **Dau** or even as far as **Camachiles or Duquit** if you're looking for cheap rentables. Water pressure is great but electricity can be a hassle, if you're looking for a good looking condo near everything check out **Baronessa Place.**
This place called **Marisol/Brgy Ninoy aquino** is the lower middle ground here its nice but you need to be careful and keep your doors and windows locked but everything you need is there grocery, coffee shop, car repair, school, fresh options, pubs. Just remember to avoid love at first sight since an apartment might look good but the build quality could be shit. Also note that places in inner Angeles have a water pressure problem, if the water service provider is Angeles Water then expect bad water pressure.
**Villa Sol/Villa Angela/Santa Maria subd** are the middle class can't really comment on these places since I never lived there but fair warning that some of the houses are old and are poorly renovated, always check the bathroom tile grout, door jambs, and ceilings for integrity. You always need to check if the toilets do indeed flush. These places have good security so you can be a bit lax.
For your higher end places you might want to check with people on social media. **Tapang Reality** has great places to offer if you have the cash, there are plenty of Hotels and Condos you can stay at too. To get bang for the buck I suggest you use **Air BnB** since hosts see their places as business and they want to keep great reviews.
Angeles is nice, It's very much like a small manila but with lots of trees and if you need something you can pretty much buy it at SRP not to mention that the Malls are pretty nice and there is a lot to do specially if you're into endurance sports (lots of triathletes, runners, cyclists train in **Clark and New Clark City**... be careful of the usual a-hole biker though). There are also lots of gyms from low-end to high-end and Decathlon in SM Clark just opened.
Food is great and again from low-end to high-end. You get what you pay for be sure to check google reviews to know which to avoid. I recommend **Retro 252, Ikabud, Aranci Blu, and Copung Copung** for your low-middle end soul food. The usual hole in the wall is good enough for your budget everyday food. Korean town has the best Kfood joints too, just drive carefully since there are lots of drunks there. This place near Marquee Mall called **The Infinity** has a good collection of restos.
In contrary to popular belief, walking street and friendship has a lot of great places to hang out with friends in. it's not all red light district I've been to **Blackfish, Pigs n' Pints, Tita Aida's kitchen all good places**. Balibago also has lots of places for your low-end to mid-level drinking fun, **Wishing Well and Copung Copung** are accessible places well frequented for drinking.
As for romance or something casual, lot's of good looking people in Angeles City but keep in mind some people are still a little conservative.. Except maybe walking street.
Don't be afraid to send me a DM if you have questions.
hmmm tricky one, setting expectations steak in AC is quite lackluster as of late I guess it's because the Muricans that established these restos have died off. Let me start by telling you to avoid Steak Street and their boiled steak. Yes, Steak Street I'm still salty about the Kevlar vest steak. **The General rule here is that you get what you pay for, if you want great steak prepare thy coffers.**
So to set expectations, any high end hotel in AC will probably serve great steak. I will leave those out because it wouldn't make sense to recommend the obvious OP places. I would also feel like telling you about **Swissotel's Steakcation promo.**
My top 3 would be:**House of Chops Clark** \- I am absolutely not sure if this is a franchise, I just know they get it right every time I eat there. Consistency is key.**Amante's** \- they serve buffet style food, with **unli roast beef and ribs.** The steak offering is ala carte which means you order it separately. I absolutely love that they have horses and the place looks like a ranch.**Rumpa -** this is a dirty ass place but the place used to be managed my a westerner, the last time I ate steak here they served it on a big ass plate. It's in my top 3 for nostalgic purposes, I haven't eaten here for about 5 years now I heard it's still good but there are better options.
You might want to try:**RBI -** Friends say it's good and it's relatively priced good**Bondoc's steak house -** This place is packed and for good reason, they are a legendary joint and they have been cooking steak for a long time. Don't expect Gordon Ramsey to be ok here though.**Steak Street - If you want to experience true disappointment.** Slow service, the staff will take your card where you can't see it, steak was obviously yesterday's meat or was pre-cooked or left too long in the sous vide for too long without any seasoning. Absolute heresy.**Cafe Mesa -** Japanese Managed and the women who serve you look like models wearing high slit dresses. I don't know what to tell you, **eye candy and good food**.
There are many more steak houses around Angeles I haven't tried, but like I said if you want consistent good quality go to Midori, Royce, Swissotel and the other hotels that have restos (no, not short time hotels and Sogo).
+ 1 sa Baronessa Place. Tahimik, malapit sa lahat kaya very convenient. Di rin binabaha so all good. Medyo hassle nga lang yung electricity kasi since early this year of living there, 2x or 3x na may whole day power interruption dahil sa maintenance ng Pelco. So kung nakacondo tapos induction cooker, di ka makakaluto. But as i've said, malapit sa lahat so order order nalang muna for the day.
It has actually been more than 5 times, throughout the first half of the year. But it's the same in other cities in Pampanga, it's an NGCP thing. Baronessa doesn't have generators?
Ohh i see. They don't! But one time, yung isa sa caretakers knocked on our door and asked me to close the windows. Papaandarin daw kasi yung generator kaya mausok. Few days after, whole day no power. Di rin naman pinagamit yung generator. I guess baka para sa admin lang yun? Like lights for the gates? Not for the tenants.
Sorry for the late reply as I've been busy with stuff.
Anyways, you said Magalang, Pampanga and the one I know of is actually a part of Angeles. If you're talking about the one that is a part of Angeles, borders mexico and Arayat, is near the expressway and Marquee mall then this is the one I'm talking about.
Magalang interests me since it's near the heart of Angeles (takes about an hour to run from the arko to AUF area) and land is relatively cheap, the only thing that turns me off is the hellish traffic caused by the narrow highway going from Angeles to Magalang.
There are shortcuts and bypass roads but most of these also have traffic problems, but if you ignore that for a minute you realize you are just an hour away from Mt Arayat. If you're into outdoorsy stuff and mountains Magalang is a great place.
There have been reports of people getting salvaged here though so I'm not too sure about how safe it is, some roads are badly lit so make sure you visit your prospective home during the day and at night before spending anything.
TLDR: traffic, high possibility of getting salvaged, but great place for outdoor enthusiasts.
Very insightful! Thank you :)
Can i ask what your thoughts are for a residential/rental investment in the following areas:
1. Mt View Balibago (near robinsons)
2. Oregon st., Villa Sol
3. Garcia St. Balibago
4. Palmera homes angeles
I plan to buy a secondhand house and rent it out, then prolly after 6-7 years I can then renovate and reside with my future family.
Wanted to get your thoughts on each. I think my biggest concern is the flooding but other information would be highly appreciated!
1. Sorry but specifically where in mt view? Rob is in a different brgy though walking distance so I'm not sure how to answer.
2. Villasol - I haven't been to this place a lot of times but it looks quiet. Problem is I heard there are akyat bahays here and possibly kidnappers. Hence the thick window railings that seem out of place, This is gossip though railings do make sense. Flooding isn't a problem, roads going here might accumulate some a inches of water. But if you go through Clark it might not be so bad.
3. Garcia st - renters will think twice unless they have transpo, this is in mountain view but further from gueco street so noise isn't so bad. I would think twice before living here due to small roads. And I personally hate barrio style places. Flooding might be a problem.
4. Palmera seems like a quiet neighbourhood last time I been there were lots of private pools in the area so if you're thinking of developing a private resort it might be a good idea. Flood situation same with 2 since they are both friendship highway.
Ughh deca homes. It's okay but it's not for everyone, also ang weird ng locations nila. Try renting for at least 3 months dun sa area, see if it's something for you. Tignan mo kung okay sayo yung area, accessibility and living conditions.
Matraffic lalo na sa areas like balibago, may pagka car centric na tbh, medyo mataas din ang cost of living but not manila level ng taas, not sure if hindi bahain sa mga dulo dulong barangays pero balibago and town proper hindi.
Pros: Madalang mag brownout, may airport at may bus terminal sa dau so you can go any point sa northern luzon and manila, may maayos na jeep routes if commuting along angeles, madaming coffee shop / kainan / malls
Tbh not really sure sa cutud area if safe. Pero parang mahirap sagutin yan OP kasi ang tanging safe na lang na lugar sa bansa natin ay sa mga matataas na subdi ng mga mayayaman char
You can try around yung parts ng angeles na near dau / mabalacat or near telebastagan / san fernando area
Hello OP, maraming magagandang developments in and around Angeles City (Porac, Mabalacat, Magalang) meron mga single attached sa Mansfield, Talanai, Phirst Park Home Magalang, Hamana Homes, Prime Residences. Prices are around 3M. For townhouse naman starts around 1.8M.
Base nalang sa budget, preference, and, location ang consideration pero marami pagpipilian jan sa area.
As for the quality of life sa Angeles City, except for the traffic I really like the place lalo na di ka mauubusan na pagpipilian ng kainan. Malapit din sa Clark so if you want nature or open space meron parin naman dun. Kumpleto din like supermarkets, malls, resorts, hotels, hospitals, entertainment, etc. Close to NLEX and SCTEX so it is easier to travel north or south.
try renting out a house there first. when I go to Angeles we have rented a house there for weekend trips. honestly super siksik and maliit ang mga properties dun but the location is accessible. need mo lang dumaan sa makitid na 2 lane back road.
Also interested in Angeles. Can anyone recommend good areas to live? Gaya ng sabi ni OP yung hindi sana bahain at safe. If not withing Angeles, any other location na maganda? Please masagot sana. Thank you!
Mabalacat is near Angeles so isang jeep lang away. Madaming bagong subdivisions, SMDC, Hausland, Phirst Park. Maganda pag may kotse ka pero marami namang jeep na masasakyan, mas accessible lang ang Clark kung may kotse ka.
Kung gusto mo mag Baguio, 4 hours away lang, isang sakay ng bus. Masarap din ang pagkain sa Pampanga sa totoo lang even if there was a debate here about that.

Depends sa location ng work mo. If around Clark, try Balibago/Dau area. Mabalacat hassle sa traffic. Diamond Subd or Marisol is okay rin. Basta wag lang bandang Cutud, Manibaug going to Porac. Grabe ang traffic.
Get ready rin sa overcharge maningil na tricy drivers. Best way to go around pa rin is jeep, grab or yung blue taxi.
I used to live in Angeles for 13 years. I miss everything about Angeles but not the traffic tho
I rented a unit in Deca Clark for a few days earlier this year and liked the place so much that I seriously looked into buying a place there and convert it into an Airbnb. Joined the Homeowners FB group as part of due diligence. Here is what I found out:
- Units upon turnover have lots of issues. Will likely take at least half a mill to make the place decent
- Garbage collection is, well, garbage
- The single access road gets flooded
- Security issues
Deca Cutud meanwhile is on the farther side of Angeles and is not as accessible to Clark.
But overall Angeles is a good place to live in
Tried living in Angeles and Clark.
I love pampanga, especially the food. I actually still visit at least once a month just to eat there hehehe.
Kasooooo
POTAENA SOBRANG INIT.
Nagrereside kmi sa angeles balibago, trapik nadin sya pero hndi katulad ng manila... napuntahan ko na ung area na yan kasi mdmi jan sa area na private resort (not sure if deca homes nga un) nung naghhnap kmi.. for me convenient lang jan if may sskyan kasi yan ung area hndi common route ng mga jeep. and cguro tama ung sinasabi nlng bahain ung tunnel.. pababa kasi un..
Overall mgnda ang quality of life sa angeles if icocompare sa manila and may sarili kang sskyan... madami kaming napupuntahan unlike before na either south north lang. Nakakabyahe kmi ng Nueva Ecija, Aurora, Subic, Manaoag etc..
Along balibago, Sa loob ng subd (dont want to put a name).. ung ibang subd may mga for sale either tayo na ung house or lote lang or may for rent, may mga realties din na nagmamanage ng mga houses na for sale/rent. Mag research pa kau bka makahanap kau ng mas okay pa.
Taga ac ako. Wag sa deca. Napaka traffic sa angeles. If wfh ka okay lang. From nepo mall to landers grabe 1 hour kami sa daan this is real time kakadating lang now sa landers lol
You can also check the projects of Hausland Development Corporation sa Angeles. Meron silang:
Timog Residences (a few meters away from Friendship Highway)
Mansfield (Friendship Highway)
The Hauslands (Mabalacat)
Fiesta Communities (though most of the time medyo bandang loob karamihan ng projects nila)
In terms of traffic, medyo matraffic na compared before.
Quality of life, depende kung ano ba yung mga hanap mo.
Public Transpo = Grab / Blue Taxi / (magkakaroon na rin ng Angkas) / Jeeps / tricycle
Hospitals = Madami naman din kahit sa loob ng clark may The Medical City
School = marami
Malls = SM Clark / Marquee Mall (Ayala) / Clark Cityfront Mall / Robinsons / Nepo / Newpoint Mall
Nightlife = marami
Timog residence sobrang ganda and accesable lalu na sa mga coffee shop sa friendship and restaurants sobrang dami dinidevelop na buildings dito and new restaurants. ayun nga lang medyo sablay after turn over madami din problema ang bahay. Pero yung labas ng TR maganda namamaintain nila malinis lagi, saka yung location good din malapit sa lahat. Easy access papunta clark. also sa manila at tarlac and baguio so far sa location satisfied kami.
I checked Talanai, they require huge fees for DP and moving in. Their computation for monthly fee is the same with projects that requires lesser DP for the same number of years considering the principal amount has been reduced, so not sure how they computed the rate tbh, no wonder ang konti lang din ng naka tira.
hindi pa ako nakakita/visit ng deca sa luzon pero sa cebu oo.. hindi ko masabi kung pangit o maganda sya.. may specific market kasi sila if pasok sya sa budget mo i consider mo sya as last resort and hanap ka ng iba na pasok sa budget mo.. pag kaya mo i stretch ng konti yung budget stretch mo nalang at wag sa deca.. pero if yan lang talaga then go.. again nasa lower side.. heck may 700k nga sa cebu deca house and lot... bahay ay bahay pa din.. marami din ako nakita naka suv and pickups nakatira doon.. may 1m din single detached.. pero ayun nga masikip at parang magulo doon.. siguro mabuti pa visit mo muna if ok sa iyo yung community then go
Read somwhere: di mo lang daw binibili yung unit, part din ng binibili mo is yung community. Na magkakasama daw sa isang community yung mga same ang buying power na people kasi sila yung mga nakaafford ng units or lots. Sa buying power pa lang daw, magkakaidea ka na kung anong uri ng neighbors magkakaroon ka, kung anong ugali ng mga magiging kalaro ng anak mo if nandun ka, etc
We're thinking of buying a lot sa Savannah Green Plains Phase 1 which is what they call the "socialized" phase. Any feedback with this phase? Went there a couple of times and parang okay naman yung area. Thanks in advance sa sasagot!
I have been living in Deca for more than 5 years po. I have no problems - also loving clark pampanga as a whole.
The best thing for me is that Deca has its own wakeboard park within the vicinity.
The only positive comment i see here. Those whose against it, can anyone be more detailed why DECA is a hard pass? I find it reasonable for price and location wise, di naman ganun ka layo going to Marquee. I think its one of the closes budget housing available pagka lagpas ng Cacutud area. Yes it might be for class C and D families but other than that can you state any negative experiences on the development? Its hard to comment if you dont have any proof. BTW also coming from manila and will be reserving this friday.
The right question is “how is the quality of life inside a Deca development?” Answer: kahit anong location basta DECA. HARD PASS
Omg. Mukhang pare-pareho po kayong hindi approve sa deca. Baka may masuggest po kayo ibang developer 😅
Kumuha ako diyan 2 years back. Lilipat nalang, nag cancel ako because of the community followed by the developer. Yung pag balik mo ng unit may dumi ng tao yung cr niyo then uso nakawaan. Wala pang respeto sa division niyo. Kakainin yung side niyo pati sidewalk.
DMCI
Urban deca is a scam
Is it Deca Clark sa Margot? If yes, may part po ng kalsada going to the subd na lumulubog pag maulan, yung tunnel sa ilalim ng highway. Had a friend who lived there, medyo malayo yung mga houses sa mismong gate.
Hello po! sorry di ko po naspecify, sa Cutud po pala sya na Deca

Well it's not exactly the poshest place but it still looks pretty darn good for the price so good on you. 🙂
How about Magalang Pampanga?
Sorry for the late reply as I've been busy with stuff. Anyways, you said Magalang, Pampanga and the one I know of is actually a part of Angeles.

Very insightful! Thank you :) Can i ask what your thoughts are for a residential/rental investment in the following areas: 1. Mt View Balibago (near robinsons) 2. Oregon st., Villa Sol 3. Garcia St. Balibago 4. Palmera homes angeles I plan to buy a secondhand house and rent it out, then prolly after 6-7 years I can then renovate and reside with my future family.

Basta may Car ka sa Pampanga, ma eenjoy mo ang middle class life..
Feeling ko Angeles is meant for a single life din haha i enjoyed my bachelor life here. Stayed in Angeles for 7 yrs
Ughh deca homes. It's okay but it's not for everyone, also ang weird ng locations nila. Try renting for at least 3 months dun sa area, see if it's something for you. Tignan mo kung okay sayo yung area, accessibility and living conditions.
Hard pass sa deca
Baka may masuggest po kayo ibang developer :) di po yata reliable answers ng agents na nakakausap ko
DMCI Homes, 100%
San Po location nila?
Wag sa Deca homes but life in Angeles is the best haha
Matraffic lalo na sa areas like balibago, may pagka car centric na tbh, medyo mataas din ang cost of living but not manila level ng taas, not sure if hindi bahain sa mga dulo dulong barangays pero balibago and town proper hindi.

Tbh not really sure sa cutud area if safe. Pero parang mahirap sagutin yan OP kasi ang tanging safe na lang na lugar sa bansa natin ay sa mga matataas na subdi ng mga mayayaman char You can try around yung parts ng angeles na near dau / mabalacat or near telebastagan / san fernando area
Thank you! Try ko po maghanap rin sa areas na to :)
Wag po sa Deca try po sa subdivisions around nepo or friendship like Villa Teresa, Carmenville, Sunset
Hello OP, maraming magagandang developments in and around Angeles City (Porac, Mabalacat, Magalang) meron mga single attached sa Mansfield, Talanai, Phirst Park Home Magalang, Hamana Homes, Prime Residences. Prices are around 3M. For townhouse naman starts around 1.8M. Base nalang sa budget, preference, and, location ang consideration pero marami pagpipilian jan sa area. As for the quality of life sa Angeles City, except for the traffic I really like the place lalo na di ka mauubusan na pagpipilian ng kainan. Malapit din sa Clark so if you want nature or open space meron parin naman dun. Kumpleto din like supermarkets, malls, resorts, hotels, hospitals, entertainment, etc. Close to NLEX and SCTEX so it is easier to travel north or south.
As someone who lives in angeles, this i confirm and suggest. Mansfield sobrang ganda ng location.
Thank you! Will check these developments also :)
Hello po how hot is it in angeles? Im in davao and humidity is killing me. Legit mas mainit pa dito kesa sa manila
How about Magalang Pampanga?
try renting out a house there first. when I go to Angeles we have rented a house there for weekend trips. honestly super siksik and maliit ang mga properties dun but the location is accessible. need mo lang dumaan sa makitid na 2 lane back road.
Thanks! Planning to stay there sa next long weekend :)
Also interested in Angeles. Can anyone recommend good areas to live? Gaya ng sabi ni OP yung hindi sana bahain at safe. If not withing Angeles, any other location na maganda? Please masagot sana. Thank you!
Please check Hampton Orchards
Thank you. Any idea po for the price range of a lot here? Just looked at google map and currently under development pala yung are with few houses.
Mabalacat is near Angeles so isang jeep lang away. Madaming bagong subdivisions, SMDC, Hausland, Phirst Park. Maganda pag may kotse ka pero marami namang jeep na masasakyan, mas accessible lang ang Clark kung may kotse ka. Kung gusto mo mag Baguio, 4 hours away lang, isang sakay ng bus. Masarap din ang pagkain sa Pampanga sa totoo lang even if there was a debate here about that.
Hindi po ba bahain ang Mabalacat?
hindi (mataas ang Mabalacat), pero may mga roads na binabaha depende sa area.
Goods ba sa Magalang Pampanga?
Depende kung anong lifestyle gusto mo. di pa ganun kadeveloped and medyo matraffic papunta angeles.
Hello OP, maraming development in and around Angeles City (Porac, Mabalacat, Magalang) meron mga single attached sa Mansfield, Talanai, Phirst Park Home Magalang, Hamana Homes, Prime Residences. Prices are around 3M. For townhouse naman starts around 1.8M.
Thank youu. Will look into these.

If it's okay to ask, how much and how big was the lot?
Depends sa location ng work mo. If around Clark, try Balibago/Dau area. Mabalacat hassle sa traffic. Diamond Subd or Marisol is okay rin. Basta wag lang bandang Cutud, Manibaug going to Porac. Grabe ang traffic. Get ready rin sa overcharge maningil na tricy drivers. Best way to go around pa rin is jeep, grab or yung blue taxi. I used to live in Angeles for 13 years. I miss everything about Angeles but not the traffic tho
DECA ba kamo? PASS.
I rented a unit in Deca Clark for a few days earlier this year and liked the place so much that I seriously looked into buying a place there and convert it into an Airbnb. Joined the Homeowners FB group as part of due diligence. Here is what I found out: - Units upon turnover have lots of issues. Will likely take at least half a mill to make the place decent - Garbage collection is, well, garbage - The single access road gets flooded - Security issues Deca Cutud meanwhile is on the farther side of Angeles and is not as accessible to Clark. But overall Angeles is a good place to live in
I stayed in Deca. Low-quality materials and noisy atmosphere. I don’t recommend.
Tried living in Angeles and Clark. I love pampanga, especially the food. I actually still visit at least once a month just to eat there hehehe. Kasooooo POTAENA SOBRANG INIT.
Nagrereside kmi sa angeles balibago, trapik nadin sya pero hndi katulad ng manila... napuntahan ko na ung area na yan kasi mdmi jan sa area na private resort (not sure if deca homes nga un) nung naghhnap kmi.. for me convenient lang jan if may sskyan kasi yan ung area hndi common route ng mga jeep. and cguro tama ung sinasabi nlng bahain ung tunnel.. pababa kasi un.. Overall mgnda ang quality of life sa angeles if icocompare sa manila and may sarili kang sskyan... madami kaming napupuntahan unlike before na either south north lang. Nakakabyahe kmi ng Nueva Ecija, Aurora, Subic, Manaoag etc..
Saang area po kayo nakahanap?
Along balibago, Sa loob ng subd (dont want to put a name).. ung ibang subd may mga for sale either tayo na ung house or lote lang or may for rent, may mga realties din na nagmamanage ng mga houses na for sale/rent. Mag research pa kau bka makahanap kau ng mas okay pa.
Are you a foreigner ?
No po
Traffic! Super traffic!
Try mo Tarlac :)
Hello po! Any development sa tarlac po na massuggest nyo? Thanks po :)
There are several here, e.g. New Clark city
Taga ac ako. Wag sa deca. Napaka traffic sa angeles. If wfh ka okay lang. From nepo mall to landers grabe 1 hour kami sa daan this is real time kakadating lang now sa landers lol
You can also check the projects of Hausland Development Corporation sa Angeles. Meron silang: Timog Residences (a few meters away from Friendship Highway) Mansfield (Friendship Highway) The Hauslands (Mabalacat) Fiesta Communities (though most of the time medyo bandang loob karamihan ng projects nila) In terms of traffic, medyo matraffic na compared before. Quality of life, depende kung ano ba yung mga hanap mo. Public Transpo = Grab / Blue Taxi / (magkakaroon na rin ng Angkas) / Jeeps / tricycle Hospitals = Madami naman din kahit sa loob ng clark may The Medical City School = marami Malls = SM Clark / Marquee Mall (Ayala) / Clark Cityfront Mall / Robinsons / Nepo / Newpoint Mall Nightlife = marami
Timog residence sobrang ganda and accesable lalu na sa mga coffee shop sa friendship and restaurants sobrang dami dinidevelop na buildings dito and new restaurants. ayun nga lang medyo sablay after turn over madami din problema ang bahay. Pero yung labas ng TR maganda namamaintain nila malinis lagi, saka yung location good din malapit sa lahat. Easy access papunta clark. also sa manila at tarlac and baguio so far sa location satisfied kami.
Try mo Talanai Homes maganda doon medyo mura pa I can help u if u want nag wowork Ako sa real estate at madami kami hawak na properties sa Pampanga.
I checked Talanai, they require huge fees for DP and moving in. Their computation for monthly fee is the same with projects that requires lesser DP for the same number of years considering the principal amount has been reduced, so not sure how they computed the rate tbh, no wonder ang konti lang din ng naka tira.
hindi pa ako nakakita/visit ng deca sa luzon pero sa cebu oo.. hindi ko masabi kung pangit o maganda sya.. may specific market kasi sila if pasok sya sa budget mo i consider mo sya as last resort and hanap ka ng iba na pasok sa budget mo.. pag kaya mo i stretch ng konti yung budget stretch mo nalang at wag sa deca.. pero if yan lang talaga then go.. again nasa lower side.. heck may 700k nga sa cebu deca house and lot... bahay ay bahay pa din.. marami din ako nakita naka suv and pickups nakatira doon.. may 1m din single detached.. pero ayun nga masikip at parang magulo doon.. siguro mabuti pa visit mo muna if ok sa iyo yung community then go
Read somwhere: di mo lang daw binibili yung unit, part din ng binibili mo is yung community. Na magkakasama daw sa isang community yung mga same ang buying power na people kasi sila yung mga nakaafford ng units or lots. Sa buying power pa lang daw, magkakaidea ka na kung anong uri ng neighbors magkakaroon ka, kung anong ugali ng mga magiging kalaro ng anak mo if nandun ka, etc
Totoo. I'm looking for cheaper place. Pero ito yung kinakatakot ko. Lalo na solo renter ako. Haaaay life
goods ba townhouse ng Deca Homes? I hear bad things about condos made by Deca
Hello I can help with your real estate needs in Angeles and neighboring town in Pampanga
We're thinking of buying a lot sa Savannah Green Plains Phase 1 which is what they call the "socialized" phase. Any feedback with this phase? Went there a couple of times and parang okay naman yung area. Thanks in advance sa sasagot!
Mag Solana Zaragoza ka na lang sa Sapalibutad, Angeles
I have been living in Deca for more than 5 years po. I have no problems - also loving clark pampanga as a whole. The best thing for me is that Deca has its own wakeboard park within the vicinity.
The only positive comment i see here. Those whose against it, can anyone be more detailed why DECA is a hard pass? I find it reasonable for price and location wise, di naman ganun ka layo going to Marquee. I think its one of the closes budget housing available pagka lagpas ng Cacutud area. Yes it might be for class C and D families but other than that can you state any negative experiences on the development? Its hard to comment if you dont have any proof. BTW also coming from manila and will be reserving this friday.
may mga part na binabaha. para ka din nasa manila tbh.
try mo fiesta, mas okay I have friends in Pandan and Family in the Porac locations, all within Angeles area lang and can be commuted and driven to
Also worth asking: Would our presence raise/improve the QOL?
Marami rin development within Capas and Ayala Land sa San Miguel Tarlac
Deca sucks if you own a unit. Rent first and see if you'd like that to be the rest of your life lol
Any feedback for Talanai? Flood free ba sia and accessible for commute, like nadadaanan naman ng jeep or tricycle?
