Best Cebu Condos in 2017 for the First-Timers

Cebu straddles many delightful things, which is why it is hailed the “Queen City of the South.” Considered as the second most important metropolitan area in the Philippines (but not as crowded as Metro Manila), Cebu belongs to a spectacular island that shares its name, and has a fascinating history and a compelling charm, not to mention a seemingly endless list of natural attractions.

Many local tourists and foreigners flock to Cebu annually to have a taste of its succulent lechon and fresh seafood, and experience the colourful Sinulog Festival, which is celebrated every third week of January. Despite many commercial and urban developments in the city, Cebu has largely retained its rustic aura that compels people to visit it over and over.

Some people, enthralled with the vintage vibe and the booming economic progress of the place, even choose the city as a permanent home. In such cases, condominiums still remain as one of the most viable options for people moving in Cebu as condos are often priced lower than single-family homes. Online property portal Lamudi Philippines cites some of the best condominiums in Cebu for those who are eyeing for a comfy abode in the Queen City of the South.
