Houses, basically, have always been a very popular type of housing in the Philippines. However, because of the many benefits of condominiums, a number of Filipinos have opted to buying a condo unit instead of buying a house. Part of what made condominiums popular in the market include:

Its location
Condominiums were first found near or inside popular business districts such as in Makati City. Although very expensive, and required a very high lifestyle, these types of housing did provide an advantage for many of its residents. One such advantage is that it allowed them to live within walking distance to their workplaces. Another advantage of condominiums is:

Condominiums are also known for their maintainability. These types of Philippines properties have their own maintenance personnel which are hired to maintain the livability of their condominium, from hallways, elevators, garages, to gardens, parks, swimming pools, and playgrounds. Another is its security which is hired to make assure the safety of their residents.

Its amenities
New types of condominiums known as condominium complexes are known for their amenities. Though mostly found in the outskirts, away from the city, these types of condominiums are known for their luxuries that a few city condominiums have, such as swimming pools, gyms, and recreational areas such as parks and playgrounds.

Advantages of houses
However, there are certain things that also made houses popular even though condominiums have significantly rose in the market. These includes its affordability. Compared to condominiums and condominium complexes, these types of Philippines properties are much more affordable.

Though many have said that the price range of these new types of houses are similar with that of cheaper condominiums, houses can offer more room and space. This is because condominiums of the same price range of cheaper houses are usually smaller than the expensive houses. Another is that housing communities have also been seen to offer the same amenities that condominium complexes became popular with, yet more affordable for many Filipinos.
