@petrih: I'm from Cavite a few minutes away from Las Piñas. there are more expats in Makati, QC, Taguig, Ortigas (these are business districts).. Though I see more and more expats in Cavite these days. What do you do in Las Piñas?

Moving to Alabang next week

petrih

lol there is hundreds of us here.

Business district of Alabang just very near, Makati 15mins away via Skyway. If you don't like condo living Las Pinas is a good and safe place for you.

Hi Petri, I'm moving to Manila in the next month, considering Paranaque mainly as I want to stay in a house rather than condo. Do you have any good tips on specific subdivisions you recommend within that area? I understand Las Pinas is a little farther from Makati (where my office is) compared to e.g. BF Homes, Merville, but it's been difficult to find decent useful info online about those as well. Appreciate any insight you want to share!

petrih

It kind of depends what are you looking for.

BF Homes is a part of Paranaque City but the other part of it is also on Las Pinas side. Basically trip from Las Pinas (my house) to Makati usually takes 30 minutes or less, so it's really not that far as Skyway drive is fast.

Hello!  I just recently moved to Alabang from Minnesota! I'm currently renting a 1bdr condo. Maybe we can get a group together who lives in the area. I work in Ortigas so the drive is tolerable but times frustrating but right now it will have to be as for job goes. I have relatives in Paranaque living in BF homes.
