Living in Makati
The Philippines' original financial hub with excellent walkability in neighborhoods like Salcedo and Legaspi Village, where you'll find upscale dining, international schools, and top hospitals within walking distance. English is universal here (the Philippines' biggest advantage for American expats), keeping daily life frictionless. It's the priciest area in the Philippines but still very affordable by US standards, with modern condos and a large expat community.
Island-hopping on weekends, karaoke as a national religion, and a Filipino hospitality so genuine that you will be adopted by your neighbor's entire extended family before your first month is over.

Next steps for moving to Philippines
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
