What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Angeles City?

"The house was beautiful. It was in Angeles City in an upscale gated community,not upscale like Forbes Park in Manila, but guarded well and kept clean. The houses were all very different and some were the size of a mansion. Mine was large -- too large for a single woman. There were 4 bedrooms and I was often too nervous and jittery to walk into the other ones. The house was finished as I was moving in. It was large and had tile and hardwood floors throughout and I had airconditioners put in all of th rooms, but the loft. It was too hot up there, so I never furnished that room. Lizards became my shower-mates and the cockroaches scared the living daylights out of me. The balut man came around everyday chanting his pitch to sell the fertilized duck embryo that I successfully declined until a recent return visit. I lived there for a year before finding that I was not very comfortable living away from other expats. The expat community up in the Clark area is small and I was alone. I moved to the Holiday Inn property and into a lovely golf villa. Had to do some good negotiating to get something that would be covered under my allowance, but it worked and was very comfortable. I had my own household help and a guard stationed outside 24x7. Estrada was about to be ousted and our security team felt it wise to have a guard. It turned out to be totally unnecessary, but it's better to be safe than sorry," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Angeles City, Philippines.

"Expat homes and apartments in Angeles City are typically modern and comfortable. They often feature air conditioning, cable television, and internet access. Many expat homes and apartments also have a balcony or terrace, providing a great view of the city. Expats can also find homes and apartments with a swimming pool, gym, and other amenities. The city is known for its vibrant nightlife, so many expat homes and apartments are located close to bars, restaurants, and other entertainment venues," commented one expat who made the move to Angeles City, Philippines.
