Living in a condominium may be the \u201cin thing\u201d to do if you want your own space in Metro Manila, but nothing beats living in your own home, especially if it\u2019s within a gated community. Imagine having access to your own clubhouse, playground, a sports facility, and anything else you might need without so much as leaving the safety of your gated village.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s only one catch to living in a gated community within Metro Manila: the exorbitant prices per square meter (we\u2019re talking about 6-digit figures per square meter<\/em>). You do, however, get your money\u2019s worth if you choose to get a home in any of these gated communities:<\/p>\n

Dasmari\u00f1as Village, Makati<\/em><\/p>\n

Commonly referred to as \u201cDasma\u201d, it\u2019s a tightly-guarded subdivision with tree-lined streets that\u2019s home to expats and diplomats. In it are two parks, a post office, and a Catholic school. Go out through McKinley Road gate and you\u2019ll see Sanctuario de San Antonio Parish, along with several shops and restaurants.<\/p>\n

Magallanes Village, Makati<\/em><\/p>\n

Staying roughly within the same area, Magallanes Village is a good choice if you\u2019re looking to stay somewhere close to Pasay City and its bevy of entertainment options: SM Mall of Asia, Solaire Resort & Casino, and Resorts World Manila. It has its own commercial center (Paseo de Magallanes) if you want to stay within the safety of your neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Bel-Air Village, Makati<\/em><\/p>\n

It occupies what used to be Neilson Airport, the country\u2019s lone airport during the American Occupation. It has three phases (Bel-Air I, II, and III) and is located at the northern part of the Central Business District (CBD). One of Makati\u2019s classic villages, it puts you within walking distance the CBD itself, with access to both the CBD and Rockwell.<\/p>\n

Urdaneta Village, Makati<\/em><\/p>\n

An exclusive subdivision within Makati, it\u2019s as close as you can possibly get to the CBD. You can literally walk towards your office if you live here. It\u2019s ridiculously close to Ayala Triangle Gardens if you want a quick jog, and its southern area is lined with condominiums like Discovery Primea.<\/p>\n

Forbes Park, Makati<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got around half a million pesos to spare and are looking for a place to stay (read: splurge on real estate), Forbes Park is the place to be. It houses the country\u2019s richest of the rich as well as diplomats and ambassadors. Fancy a round of golf? No need to leave the premises, as it is home to the Manila Golf and Country Club.<\/p>\n

Corinthian Gardens, Quezon City<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the most expensive enclaves in Metro Manila outside of Makati, it\u2019s popular for its huge lot sizes, exclusivity, and proximity to Ortigas Center and Eastwood City. In case you\u2019re wondering where it is, it\u2019s the walls close to the People Power Monument located along EDSA.<\/p>\n

Greenhills, San Juan City<\/em><\/p>\n

No, we\u2019re not talking about the shopping complex, though that is where the Greenhills Shopping Center is located. We\u2019re talking about the posh village that houses the shopping center; the same posh village that current Manila Mayor Joseph \u201cErap\u201d Estrada used to call home. It\u2019s also home to Club Filipino, the known meeting place of the Liberal Party.<\/p>\n

Valle Verde, Pasig City<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever taken a tour of Pasig City, chances are you\u2019ve passed by one of their roads\/gates. Valle Verde is composed of six mini-villages, and is the city\u2019s most expensive place to live it. It\u2019s convenient to live there, though; you\u2019re close to Ortigas Center, Capitol Commons, and Eastwood City.<\/p>\n

Ayala Alabang, Muntinlupa City<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the most expensive, but if we\u2019re talking about sheer land mass, it beats all of Makati\u2019s posh villages combined<\/em> (it\u2019s the third largest village in Muntinlupa City). It has its own clubhouse, which houses the Alabang Golf and Country Club, as well as being the home of Alabang Town Center. It\u2019s also close to Filinvest, a fast-rising business district south of Metro Manila.<\/p>\n
