There are many popular types of housing in the Philippines today which gave Filipinos the freedom to choose which ever type of housing that best suits their needs. Some of the most popular according to many Filipinos are condominiums and apartment buildings, while townhouses and the typical house are still very popular for many Filipinos.

Which is the Best?

According to many real estate experts as well as a number of Filipinos, the advantage and benefits of each of these types of housing depends on what its residents needed. There are types of housing which is an advantage for many Filipinos, while others may find these types of housing at a disadvantage. So what are the advantages or benefits that these types of housing can offer?

Houses

The popularity of houses, according to many overseas Filipinos, had significantly dropped due to the number of new modern residential Philippines properties for sale available in the market today, such as condominiums, apartment buildings, as well as a number of townhouses.

However, though not as popular or as modern as other types of housing, these typical houses are still known as one of the most in-demand types of housing primarily because of its affordability, which is unlike condominiums and townhouses. There are also a number of new houses in the market which offers a new term of payment, in which Filipinos can own a house but pay for it in installment, which is said to be more affordable compared to renting an apartment.

Because of its affordability and its new terms of payment, houses became popular among many average Filipinos who can’t usually afford to buy a condominium unit. Another reason why houses are still in-demand is because many Filipinos still believe that houses are still the most appropriate type of home for a growing Filipino family.

Condominiums and Apartment Buildings

According to many Filipinos and real estate experts, condominiums are some of the best types of Philippines properties for sale today, while apartment buildings have significantly gained a lot of popularity in the Philippines due to its affordability. However, the main reason why these types of housings have gained a lot of popularity in the Philippines is because of its location, in which most condominiums and apartment buildings are found in business and commercial districts.

However, other than its location, these types of housing also have other types of modern benefits, such as the condominium’s maintainability and security, as well as the affordability of renting an apartment. Because of these benefits, condominiums and apartments became very popular types of modern housing in the Philippines, particularly for those that can afford to buy or rent these units.

Townhouses

The benefit of living in a townhouse depends on the type of townhouse. There are three types of townhouses in the Philippines; there are those that are found in the outskirts, in residential areas, as well as within business and commercial districts. Its advantages are similar with other types of housing such as condominiums and houses. However, these types of housing are usually more luxurious and usually more expensive.
