Description

A three-bedroom house with a three-bedroom annex in Soldiers’ Hills Village in Barangay Putatan, Muntinlupa City, is just 8 to 10 minutes’ drive to Filinvest City, a central business district (CBD) and site of the upcoming PLDT campus-style headquarters, Asian Hospital, Far Eastern University Alabang, Festival Mall and other facilities.

The house and annex, which has its own entrance, kitchen and bathroom, are located in an elevated part of the subdivision, making the property flood-free and giving it a panoramic view of the neighborhood and Alabang skyline.

The dwellings have a combined

floor area of 220 sq. m.-- 88 sq. m. for the first house and 80 sq. m. for the second as well as a 22-sq.m. terrace and 29. 5-sq. m. covered parking that can accommodate two cars.

At the back is a 35-sq. m. open space and a 5.4-sq. m. bodega (storage area).

The house and annex are near the church, schools, wet markets, grocery stores, shops and hospitals. Available are utilities, internet service (Globe, PLDT and Converge) and cable TV. Tricycles are easily available. Garage collection is three times a week.

Getting to Filinvest City is a breeze via the City Alternative Route Entry and Exit System, or CARES. See map. The CBD hosts an interchange of South Luzon Expressway and ramps of an elevated toll road (Skyway), making the property in Soldiers’ Hills Village easily accessible.

Near FEU Alabang will soon rise a sports hub with an air-conditioned gymnastics facility and a wall-climbing center. The gymnastics facility will serve as the training base of Filipino gymnast and two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo. The PLDT campus is expected to open in 2028. Telephone number: View Phone

Living in Muntinlupa

A southern Metro Manila city anchored by the Alabang business district, offering a more suburban, family-friendly alternative to Makati or BGC at lower prices. Filinvest City and Alabang have modern malls, international schools, and good hospitals, and English is spoken everywhere. It's quieter and less congested than central Manila, making it popular with expat families who want space without leaving the metro area.

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.

Key Fact

English is an official language and widely spoken — making the Philippines the easiest Asian country for American expats to navigate daily life. Private healthcare is excellent and affordable, but infrastructure outside Manila can be underdeveloped.

Next steps for moving to Philippines

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

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.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
