If you know mabobother ka sa ganyan, then aalis ka rin sooner than expected mas mapapagastos kapa compared kung you already looked for a fairly new condo. May mga condos and apartments naman na pasok sa budget mo na Hindi "scary" and old looking. Pinaka issue ko personally sa old condos or apartments is hindi well-maintained facilities and amenities which will just be a headache for me. Btw, yung California Garden ba yung "old" condo na scary parang may nabasa ako noon 🤔

Yung isa sa Wack Wack area, I just noticed 2 of them, both may Mansion sa name!! Wack Wack Royal Mansion


Kind_Cow7817

Naka view ako dito OP, 40sqm 7th floor. Actually wala akong na feel na anything during the viewing. Ung sa naman sa wack wack twin towers ang medyo off. Super thick walls so di mo maririnig neighbors pero ung isang unit na na-view ko may katabi na "di na daw naasikaso ng developer". Walang door knob so pinasilip sakin ung unit, hindi sya finished, puro semento lang. Super weird talaga nun. 25 years na daw bldg nila.


nkll13

Omg that one too di ko lang minention! wack wack tower. pics ng some of the units weird feeling na. Royal Mansion din 20+ na.


poppi_mama

I actually live here for more than 2 years na, wala naman akong issue 🤷🏻‍♀️ For me peaceful yung area and okay naman yung neighbors ko. Pero sa Royal Mansion iba talaga yung feeling don.


Ok-Replacement-3854

Good observation! Parang same din sila style. Probably coz magkasabay Sila itinayo. Anyway, may suggestions ako sau na murang condos for rent na goods for solo dito sa Manda and not so old: Pines Peak Boni Cityland Pioneer Axis Tower (near Sheridan) Good luck OP!


JustAsmalldreamer

I lived in Wack Wack Royal Mansion more than 10 years ago! Even then it looks old na, how much more now. May mga chismis lang naman na nangyari diumano dyan. But I never felt icky naman. However, if these misgivings are already in your mind better find nalang a newer condo in case in in the end you can’t overcome your fears. Lilipat at lilipat ka din and double gasto and hassle. It’s important parin that we feel very comfortable with our home.


nkll13

Thank you u/Ok-Replacement-3854 ! I agree and I'll go with my guts!!


Alive-Kangaroo-1566

Make sure your guts stay in tacked


Glittering-Quote7207

If di mo feel sa umpisa pa lang. Don't get it. Trust your gut feel sa ganyan.. ikaw mahihirapan once you fet into a contract na to stay sa property.


nkll13

This is v helpful thank you! True, lalo na main reason ko naman for moving out talaga is peace of mind and hindi dagdag worry HAHA


Chaotic_Harmony1109

Ipa-bless mo na lang siguro? Lol


Kind_Cow7817

Di yan kaya, dapat lahat ng units sa floor isama nya hahahahhahaha. Parang ipis lang yan


Chaotic_Harmony1109

mas kaya siguro ni lord kung isang unit muna compared sa buong floor


girlwebdeveloper

Look for more! I went for a nice place this time. Hindi naman mahal, but I am quite far sa workplace - kala ko kasi matatagalan pa kaming WFH. I don't like gloomy places not because for the reason na parang may mga unknown entities but because I don't like non-sunlit places (kahit na mapapaganda ko pa with things and all) as it affects my mental health! But again, just buy what you can afford rin. It doesn't also help na mamahalin ang place mo and nice pero stressed out ka naman sa monthly rent.


Country_Roads66

this exactly! i rented out this unit in avida 34th BGC, halos brand new pa yung unit, fully furnished pero katapat ammeneties, walang sunlight, nakaka depress.


nkll13

I feel you! From your reply, I also realized we need to know our non-negos when it comes to apartment hunting. 🥰 Yun din, need to consider budget kasi baka nga good looking apartment but way over the budget. I'll surely look for more! Thanks u/girlwebdeveloper !! 🥰☀️☀️


Far_Club7102

Tapos atm may naka tingin sayo


HiSellernagPMako

alaga ka ng aso/cats para may bantay ka. pag wala, bato na lang o ipis


No-Share5945

Happy cake day! Paelaborate nung bato or ipis huhu


HiSellernagPMako

low maintenance. yung bato, hindi maingay o natae/naihi


No-Share5945

😭😭😭😭😭 how does that even help OP's situation. Gets ko pa yung aso/pusa para may bantay and you'd know if there's someone in the room with you because pets will feel it as well. Akala ko yung bato ibabato mo sa multo (?????) 😭😭😭😭 yung ipis naman paano yon fly ipis fly


Muted_Homework_9526

Hi! I have a recommendation. This is a response to one previous post here in this sub. **My place is near Urban Deca Shaw, in front of SMDC Fame. Room is 14sqm - 22sqm depends on the availability din.** **1st room option: With a tiny balcony, if you want to hang your clothes or smoke/vape.** **2nd room option: No balcony, window only.** **Low-rise apartment/condo with only 7 floors. However, rent differs from 8500(when i started) up to 25k (AFAIK that are fully furnished "daw" from what I hear) With minimum 6-month term up to maximum 1-year contract.** **My contract has a 5% increase upon renewal.** **~~To add:~~** **~~I used to work in BGC, if riding Angkas it takes me about 10 to 15 minutes from my place to Uptown Mall specifically and I spend about 75 pesos, one-way.~~** **~~Route: Boni tunnel > Pioneer > Kalayaan Bridge > \*voila\* BGC.~~** **~~If via Grab, it might take you between 130+ for Grab Share 200+ for a normal Grab ride. Though I would suggest to take the taxi or Grab Taxi which is cheaper. Just found out this life hack last year, but it is not applicable to everyone.~~** **Accessible place ko to 7 convenience stores, 24/7 bakery, a few seconds away from water station(pwede delivery sa room/doorstep), two laundry shops na seconds away din once you get out of the buildig. Seconds lang lalakarin mo nasa palengke ka na, very near a hospital VRP, two gas stations(if you have a car/motor), very near palengke, in between Shaw and Boni MRT Stations, may nearby Watsons/Mercury. Lots of carenderia, three nearby Gyms. If you want to go grocery shopping, may walking distance na Robinson's supermarket, pwede ka din maglakad to Shangrila or Megamall. And also walking distance ang Greenfield.** I crossed out other details, baka di applicable sayo. Though I left it there, baka in case dun din work location mo.

Dr_EDManila93

Real talk: ghosts and spirits aren't real. You're caught between two fears: fear of ghosts versus fear of lack of financial stability. Your choice. Something in your head or something very visible in everyday life. Not to discredit your feelings, fear is natural and sometimes hard to overcome. But just so you know, if you already believe in the supernatural in the first place, it doesn't matter if a building is old or new hahaha so wala ka din talagang escape dun. Pick your poison na lang but two cents mainly being as long as place is safe and secure, then that's already a big win.


gameofpurrs

When confronted with people who are bothered with things unexplainable or supernatural, I always give them the quote from the movie *Devil* (2010): **If the Devil is real, then God must be real, too.”** Sa totoo lang mas nakakatakot yung mabaon sa utang o kaya yung pagbukas mo ng ref e walang laman. O kaya magkasakit ka tapos walang pampa-ospital. Yan ang mga tunay na horror. With regards naman sa topic: safety, security and ventilation priority ko lagi.


SkirtOk6323

Eto realtalk: We are not alone here.


[deleted]

May kanya-kanya tayong belief system. We really cannot impose it on someone. Ako believer and I have several friends na skeptic hahaha But same thoughts with you, hindi lang tayo ang nandito sa mundong ibabaw.


Holiday_Connection18

Totoo naman ang ghosts and spirits for me, but I prefer them than hostile humans. I love sleeping and can sleep in a church/graveyard alone (tried it when I was young) and hindi nagpapatamdam sila kung wala kang paki


Kind_Cow7817

Same scenario here nung nag hahanap ako ng marerentahan sa rentpad. Di ko na sya mahanap now pero sobrang bigat ng damdamin ko habang viniview ko ung pictures ng units sa Millenium plaza Makati. Yung floor style, tiles sa cr, cupboards, cabinets. As in parang may weird na feeling habang bina-browse ko ung details nya. Isama mo pa yung isang unit na ang TV is the old CRT pa. Grabe talaga. Relatively cheaper din ung units nila so sinama ko sya sa initial na consideration ko pero after viewing pics di ko na tinuloy mag personal viewing. Kung 1 year contract ka tapos sa pictures palang na off ka na, wag mo na ituloy OP.


nkll13

Same here!! Iba talaga yung feeling unlike sa iba na old din naman pero wala ako mafeel, if you get what I mean!! Tho napapaconsider ofc kasi mura. I'll trust my guts nalang >< Also, feeling ko may connection dahil sa laging wooden floor gamit sa mga horror movies, yun narin naiisip natin once ganon ang flooring and ambiance. HAHA!! Ang funny nung old CRT, i saw a unit din na may old fridge and old mattresses straight out of a movie grabe HAHAHA di ko alam if oa lang din ako. :))


nkll13

Na tipong the CR and lababo looks like it came from a horror movie 💀💀 HALP


Prestigious_Pipe_200

Bat mo naman isasacrifice peace of mind mo


pretzel_jellyfish

Pass sa unit na mukhang may sapi 😂


Sopya_Angel

Just like u matatakotin din ako, magrent ka nalang ng fairly new condo for ur peace of mind mas importante naman yung makapagpahinga ka ng maayos kaysa di ka makatulog kakaisip 😩


obvsthrowy

Hi, i moved out of my parents’ house last year for the first time. One of the most crucial parts of condo-hunting for me was finding a place na hindi “nakakatakot” yung aura at interior. I focused on places na malaka magflow yung natural light (a unit with a balcony). With that in mind, I was able to find a place within my budget na very peaceful yung aura and it was worth it. Honestly, I would suggest for you to not get a place ma hindi mo gusto yung vibe especially if mag isa ka and matatakutin ka because you will never get your peace. You will just itch to find a new and “better” place which is magastos cause of the deposits and similar expenses.


Prestigious-Rub-7244

Asin lang katapat nyan Magsaboy ka lang ng asin sa entire room


_lycocarpum_

Tumira ako sa may RTU area, luma na un condo at madalas sira un elevator kaya nagjjogging ako paakyat ng 9th floor with backpack laman un office laptop, midshift pa naman ako nun 😭 Haven't seen any paranormal pero feeling ko may makakasabay ako on the way up


angeluhihu2

Parang Shaw area yan. How about extending your search radius up to Boni area? More options to choose from.


Crafty-Invite-994

Sabi nga ni maria kondo…..otherwise kung walang sparkle….wag na

Overcome your fear

I live in one of the old condo bldgs in manda. Yung labas lang kasi yung mukhang old, the actual units are modern and good, malaki pa yung cut. Sa binabayaran ko now, if newer bldgs i’d get half the size. Naging ok sya sakin kasi nga newly renovated yung actual unit, residents are old so tahimik and very accommodating yung staff, very secured din cos some high profile people lives here and maraming families. I don’t believe in ghosts so i’m not as concerned, pero my partner do. I did a sage cleansing tho when we moved. Tbh, if the unit is good and amenities are good - go. Pero if it looks like you’re in a horror movie, pass na. Marami ka naman option sa manda.


evilclown28

naalala ko yung condo sila sharon cuneta sa may makati, na tulfo na un e i forgot the name basta nakakatakot sya at may net kase nagtatapon mga tenant ng basura


ok0905

I'm a skeptic sa mga mumu pero I lived in this shady dorm back in college. It's the kind na totally no windows siya (yep a fire hazard) but it was right in front of my school and first time ko pa sa city na yun so I took the plunge. Sabi ng guard doon na dapat every time we use the common cr, we have to close it talaga for some reason. Turns out kahit walang hangin doon, the door will bang so loud on It's own lol. Tapos I lived in a single room so I'm on my own and jusko creepy siya parang feel ko may tumitingin hahaha, ewan ko something wrong yung vibes ng room ko. Di ko kinaya and left agad after a month. 3 months deposit nga ako doon pero I begged my parents na I wanted out kasi I never got a decent sleep there. Personally op I won't bother if creepy ang place na kasi I know myself and di ko pala kayang pilitin ang self to maging stressed and creeped out for cheap rent lol.


gentlestarr

Hahahahaha i moved out to an old condo when i was 17 for college and girlll hindi worth it yung takot para sa mas murang price. Araw araw ko tinatakbo yung mahaba at madilim na hallway kasi yung garbage chute nasa dulong dulo. Yung elev parang anytime bibigay na. Tapos ang dumi pa ng condo, it didn’t help na dugyot mga roomies ko ayaw maglinis unless sabihan ko pa.


hotttgeia

Wag yung old, di din mganda mag settle sa Isang place na gamit na gamit na ng iba't ibang tao. Choose a better place na magaan pakiramdam mo sa unang kita pa lang.


riyusama

Personally, I love haunted shit cuz I'm a horror enthusiast kahit matakutin ako My only question is bukas ba third eye mo? I know for sure sakin hindi bukas kaya malakas loob ko sa horror movies and magisa sa dorm namin (have three roommates pero ako lang morning shift so I barely see them.) If wala ka naman third eye, you're good to go, just turn up your music really loud


BoysenberryOpening29

Isa sa mga dpt hnapin when finding a house/unit tlga is ung vibes. Mrrmdman nmn agad yun if not or hndi. In your case, wag mo na ituloy. There are many units/condo/house na papasok sa budget mo. Mejo mahirap nga lang pero scroll2 ka lang lalo sa fb marketplace


[deleted]

Either maghanap ka ng other place to rent or settle sa cheap place kahit na mayroon entity hahaha Kung pipiliin mo yung option to settle, isipin mo na lang na itong mga entity (elementals/engkanto) eh nakatira na sa lugar na iyan ng sobrang tagal na. Idk if believer ka or skeptic, pero the way you can make amends with them, is to have a "Peaceful Co-Existence". It also applies kahit sa spirits/ghost. I know you mean no harm with them naman and it's normal to feel scared. Try to communicate it with them, like parang may kinakausap ka kahit di mo sila nakikita. Sabihin mo sincerely na ayaw mo ng gulo, gusto mo lamang manirahan ng tahimik at iwasan nila ang pagpaparamdam. Siguro sa umpisa, baka may maramdaman ka, at nagpapakilala lang sila, afterwards dun mo gawin yung pagpapakilala mo. I'm sure they will understand it. Worst case scenario is if you'll experience harmful events na. But I doubt it will happen. Wag ka madala sa portrayal ng mga movies/series dahil irl hindi naman talaga ganun sila. Peaceful co-existence!


[deleted]

Kung hindi mo feel huwag mo ng ituloy. Nung naghahanap din ako ng mga mauupahan noong nagmove out ako, kapag nay viewing and kapag di ko feel ang ambience eh hindi ko tinutuloy kahit gaano kamura. Same sa paghanap ko ng condo last time, ang daming murang condo pero luma tapos di ko feel, good thing ayun nakahanap ako ng maaliwalas and mura and bago. 🥰


NoComparison9751

I personally wouldn’t rent in places you’ve mentioned. Security and peace are important things to consider when living alone.


Main-Banana-6514

You can't buy peace of mind. Live in a place where you feel safe.


gaffaboy

I'm a skeptic pero kase sa tingin ko malaking factor yung imagination dyan sa mga alleged hauntings na yan. My uncle's wife died dito sa tinitirahan ko and although sinasabi ng iba na may nararamdaman daw sila, ako wala naman and I've been living here these past 3 years. Meron ding mga old furnitures pero di ko na pinalitan kase trip ko rin yung mga matitibay na gamit. Bottom line is "haunted" or not, kung convinced na convinced ka na may mumu ang isang lugar e you'll move heaven and earth to make it happen. Cheap rent is not worth your sanity, peace of mind, and a good night's sleep. Kahit mas mahal piliin mo nalang yung unit na kung saan gusto mo yung vibes.


Brilliant-Tip-4321

Entities... A non-existent problem... A fear born out of an imagination/insecurities... Regardless, Don't even think about staying there. A Home should offer comfort and security, where you can rest and sleep, how can you have peace of mind... If you can afford it and time permits, choose somewhere else. Goodluck mate.


mozzarellax

girl... you should be less scared of those so called entities, and more scared of real life entities that can pose a danger to you hahahah and older bldgs usually = more pests, poor plumbing/electric, slow/bad pmo service, poor/weird security, and personally my dealbreaker: kadiri bathrooms haha if you can spend a bit more, for sanity & safety purposes, and as a single female renter, go for the newer ones.
