Top 5 Most Affordable Cities in the Philippines

1. Quezon City

Unexpectedly, the most populous city in the country made our list of the least expensive places to live in the Philippines. One of the widespread misunderstandings is that it is expensive to live in Quezon City, but in reality, it is one of the most affordable cities in the capital region. Of course, given Quezon City’s huge land area, you should only consider the areas where rent is reasonable. For instance, if you’re looking for a home to rent, check beyond SM North EDSA because there are many more reasonable apartments elsewhere. Additionally, produce and meat may be found for considerably less at many local public markets. Despite having affordable housing, Quezon City is a great area to live in because it is already very urbanized and has all the modern amenities. If you’re wise enough, you can get by in the city on as little as $22,000 to $26,000.

2. Dasmariñas, Cavite

Dasmarias, regarded as a “first-class” component city in the province of Cavite, has undoubtedly outgrown its past as a little farming community and is now a thriving real estate market. The city is today praised as a rapidly expanding province that embraced national industrialization. Furthermore, it takes just one hour and thirty minutes to get from Metro Manila to Cavite! Another benefit of proximity to Metro Manila for Dasmarias’ economic development is its accessibility. Several industries are currently exhibiting the city’s expanding employment potential.

3. Iloilo City

One of the cheapest cities in the Philippines to live in is Iloilo, another developing city. The city has a robust business district, a bustling port, and a booming BPO industry.  Additionally, it offers everyone a wide range of business and career options as well as fairly reasonable living conditions. In this city, many products and services are substantially less expensive, which is ideal for consumers who wish to stretch their money as far as possible. A one-bedroom apartment, food, and perhaps some money for recreation may all be purchased with a monthly budget of roughly $21,000 to $23,000. Even though Iloilo is far from the National Capital Region, a lot is going on there.

4. Bacolod City

Bacolod, the capital of Negro Occidental and renowned as the “City of Smiles,” is a fantastic city if you’re looking for a long-term residence. There are more employment options for Bacolod inhabitants because of the city’s rapidly expanding BPO and information technology (IT) sectors and expanding companies.

Fruits and veggies are extremely reasonably priced here. Depending on whether you want to live in the city center or outside of it, you can expect to pay between 8,000 and 10,000 in this city for a one-bedroom apartment. A single person can also lead a pleasant life in this city with just a monthly budget of between 20,000 and 22,000.

5. Davao

Davao City, the largest city in the Philippines by land area and a coastal city in the Davao Region, is undoubtedly one of the most affordable places to live in the country. One of the safest cities in the nation is Davao, where you can go about your daily business without worrying about your safety or having your possessions stolen.

Davao is also developing a reputation as the nation’s upcoming center for real estate investment. When it comes to its business institutions and the real estate market, it has consistently demonstrated that it is an emerging city. The expanding metropolis in the Mindanao region has an urbanized lifestyle and a large number of high-end retail malls. Additionally, this city’s public transportation is so excellent that you probably won’t need a car. One-bedroom apartments start at 9,000 pesos a month, depending on whether you want to live outside the city to save more money or in the heart of Davao City.
