Popular because of its exclusive and high-end residential enclaves such as Ayala Alabang, this “little city” is once again putting itself forward with the emergence of condos for rent in Alabang.
Just like what happened to other major business and residential districts in the Metro, the shift from house and lots to vertical or condo developments is now being felt in one of the key areas in southern Metro Manila. It is believed that when real estate values start to go up, especially in high-density and mixed-use areas like Alabang, other property options will come forward to supply the demand in the district. People eventually look for townhouses and condominiums.
For this reason, many condos for rent in Alabang have cropped up in various strategic areas within the little city. Expats and locals alike who have businesses and warehouses far down south choose this area because they want to minimize their travel time while enjoying the amenities and facilities in the vibrant district.
A big chunk of the high-rise market comes from foreigners who stay in luxury hotels to be near their work area. Now, instead of staying in hotels or serviced residences, the executives are going for an Alabang condo for rent.
