This is most likely a former Camella Homes Subdivision which was sold off to another company due to age. As a person who rents in a subdivision like this, I can tell you everything is not as rosy as the OP is painting it. If you can handle loud, gossiping neighbors, loud karaoke for every event a family can think of, loud motorcycles, cars driving too fast, constantly barking dogs, corrupt guards that can be paid off, and a corrupt HOA with high fees and tight restrictions, then you'll be ok inside of a subdivision like this. But please rent first to try it out. Never buy one of these types of homes! You can get way more for your money buying a private house on a nice big piece of private property then you can buying one of these types of homes in a subdivision like this. Plus you'll have the freedom to improve or build out your house the way you want it without all the HOA restrictions. I'm so glad I rented in a similar subdivision like this cause that let me know I would never want to actually buy a home in there. You want to retire and live in peace and quiet, not dealing with all the noise and drama that comes from these types of close-knitted subdivisions. But, JMO 🤷♂️
Thanks for your input and thanks for watching the video 🙂 Not much corruption among the guards here. The HOA fees pay for landscaping, security, and garbage collection. I have heard Karaoke one time in three years but in the end it is up to each person to choose what suits them.
Great informative videos about living in Plantation Meridienne estates or sub division. My Philippine wife & myself live in Canada & after 25 yrs we are seriously considering retiring in Batangas for a variety of reasons. From what you have shown & informed us, we would like to visit Plantation Meridienne, we like what we've seen thank to you! 🥰
Fantastic, informative, and a great video sharing about the "$134 rent in a gated community Philippines!?!". Full support already & Best regards/Ned 👍👏👍
Good informational video for anyone looking to move to the Batangas province area. Keep these type of videos coming, I think your on to something here all meanwhile passing the time there in Beautiful Lipa.
Me and wife thinking retiring ,a couple years from now, I almost convinced to retired at Plantation. Meridians at Lipa,Batangas,nice place,Gated ,gorgeous Amenities, there's no place like Home.Philippines.🎉😊
Thanks, man, I lived here with my family for 7 years. Where 7/11 is, we owned Plantation Cafe, we were the only eatery at that time. I used to run 6-7KM a day around Plantation as it has a good circuit. We lived in Citrus Grove in a fairly decent house 11K Pesos per month. I have too say Plantacion Meridienne is a beautiful sub-division. Was not so in love with Lipa City though. Thanks for the memories.
terrific video. we are considering purchasing a town house in Leguna area in a gated community but have no idea how much the annual fees are for the community (upkeep of facilities, security guards etc) so if anyone knows can they add some advice? Cheers!!
Nice video, maybe also do future videos on individual houses for rent or sale. Not only would it give you something to do, but I’m sure it will get quite a few views and income for you at the same time without being hard to do. I would also think sellers and renters would appreciate the increased likelihood of renting or selling their properties for them.
Thanks for the video. This is very informative. I am looking for a house and lot to live with my puppy. I don't need a big one, 2 bedrooms and 2 toilet and bath with a garage is fine. I will not buy, yet only looking for a place to rent at the moment. I will appreciate it if you have any recommendations to give. Thank you.
Hi hope you are well I'm looking to come to the philippines in about 2 years from the UK with my philipino wife I find your videos very helpful and will be looking for a rental property
Purely an honest oversight and unintentional. Thanks for watching for however long you did before your immediate exit. It is Plantacion Meridienne subdivision in Lipa City, Batangas.🙂
Nice video.... Video is way better than before.... Topic is just what we value the most as we are retiring there in Lipa soon (Jun24)... Much appreciation. Plantation subdivision looks very impressive, as we will be looking for a house to rent or temorary quarters, while our house is being built in Lipa. I hope we can meet up in the future. Anyway, thank you for the information Stanley.... You both keep safe.... and ignore the "haters"..... UA-cam has plenty; and its a given in a UA-cam format.
Please forgive us for the oversight. We always try to price everything in pesos, but sometimes verbalize in dollars. It's a lifetime of living in dollars, again apologies.🙂
We entered into a rent to own contract with a retired Filipino couple we met. No interest,5 year term, great deal. My wife had to be listed as owner, but that was my intention from the outset. I wanted to leave her with something of real value when my time comes. Thanks for watching 🙂
The management office is a good place to start. A lot of Filipinos rely on word of mouth and just post their phone numbers on the properties. If you ever want any specific info, we can get numbers for you. We only ask that you are serious and within a few months of arrival in the Lipa area so the owners don't get upset with us🙂
Hello, how are both of you, I’m interested in getting accommodation that you mentioned in your station. Pls. send me some details, are they safe, pls send me the tel. numbers and contact person. Thank you. I will be in Manila middle of October, 2023. Thanks and more power
Awesome content/info... wow! I would live to retire there. Its (almost) like Hawaii. But, a whole lot AFFORDABLE!!! keep up the good videos'. Its very tempting to move there. The more i watch your videos the more i get serious. Anyways... keep it rolling!!! Aloha Hawaii...😊
I just found this video. Do you still live there? Are there rentals there that you can do for 6 months a year, every year? I live in Thailand, but looking to come to PH for half the year, but its hard to find a quality house for a cheap price. These look great. Any info appreciated.
Hello Nick, yes there are. I know of several vacancies here right now that would take a 6 month tenant. Send us an email at stanleycrum1@gmail.com when you are ready and we will put you in contact with the right people. Thanks!
@@stanleyandjenlyncrum7582that's not bad I think this place is far better for my choice I am 77 yo I need a safe place and close proximity to stores pharmacy, docs, clinic and busneses.👍🇺🇲🦋🇵🇭😊
Thanks for the video. Would you do an update? Lots can change in 7 months. What are the fees besides the rent or purchase price (not water or electricity)? Where is drinking water or water purification station? What would it be like for a person who doesn't drive? Thank appreciate all you do to locate these places.
You are welcome. The prices haven't changed very much in the time I have been here. They have gone up a little on some things. Drinking water stations are many, there are 2 refilling stations right outside the gate that deliver. We pay homeowners fees each month of 600 pesos. Nothing else out of the ordinary. You could get by here easily not driving.
Most Philippine rentals require two months rent for the deposit and then the first months rent. We never had any issue getting our deposit back the same day we moved out. Thanks for watching 🙂
This is what I’m looking to rent. This video shows various homes of different sizes and prices for sale or rent. Most videos only show high-end, expensive 2-3 story homes. We need to rent while our home is being built. Thanks so much! How do I get in contact with the management? I’d appreciate any info you can provide.
Here is the Philippine number for the office. 0991 487 4916. They can get you pointed in the right direction. Also here is the link to the FB page. Plantacion Meridienne | Lipa City - Facebook m.facebook.com/lipacity.plantacionmeridienne/ I hope this gets you started. Thanks for watching 🙂
I think that with the majority of renters being Philippine nationals, that small changes in the economy affect them more deeply. Expats just migrate in and out by their nature. Thanks for watching 🙂
We have heard of no crime since living here in the subdivision. The construction seems to be normal for all homes in the country. Thanks for watching 🙂
It is a great community, we love it. Many Filipinos don't earn enough to live here. There are at least a dozen or more expats in the subdivision. Thanks for watching 🙂
Hey there I’m thinking about moving there from Virginia Beach I’m retired Police Officer, it looks peaceful. I would like to rent to begin with, 2bdrm 2bath or 2bdrm 1 bath.. how do I check for availability?
If you take your time you can find your perfect place at the perfect price. If you are interested in Lipa, give us a shout when you get close and we can help. Thanks for watching 🙂
Thank you so much for extending a helping hand. Thank you. Sir and your wife. I hope to meet you. When I visit. I hope to stay and retire. It all works out
@@stanleyandjenlyncrum7582 Hey Stanley, how are you are? I was wondering. Could you give me some direction as to what do you think is the best way to have a find a hotel? Could you talk about what you think is? The best way should be already have a hotel book. Or should we try to get a hotel once we get there? I'm not sure on how to handle it. I'm looking for flights right now.
Hello, the best way to make hotel reservations is to use the Agoda app. Also try Airbnb, they have much better accommodations for lower prices many times.
I’m new to your channel…what Island is this on as well as what city, town , or Barangay? And you mentioned church and so I’m curious as to what kind of church like Catholic, Baptist, nondenominational? Thanks… I plan on retiring this summer and moving to the Philippines. I was there before Covid-19 and I fell in love with the people as well as the country.
It gets as high as 94 F in the summer and about 76 F at night. During late December until late February those numbers drop by 10 degrees. We only have one fiber internet provider in the subdivision but we have 500 Mbps for less than $50. Our electric ranges from a low of $38 up to $65 monthly. Thanks for watching 🙂
Thank you. There are all sorts of houses for rent in the area. Send me an email when you are in the Lipa area and we can point you in the right direction 🙂
I would love to be able to retire. But i have at least another 10 years before i can even think of that . But really looking into moving sonewhere where i can afford to momce and live on my ss checks and 401k.
Here are a few choices in our area. When you are near Lipa send me an email and I will put you in contact with someone that can help you. ua-cam.com/video/j38bUdtyYp0/v-deo.htmlsi=bjI4K1daiG3pob6R ua-cam.com/video/oGGgMkZVsE4/v-deo.htmlsi=1WZNgcIE5gvZ-Cyr ua-cam.com/video/jv9oZn7q-sg/v-deo.htmlsi=GgeDnlGZGGMe2uOF ua-cam.com/video/Lufw8vFcSrM/v-deo.htmlsi=2Qa8KdA6bWC8SLtw
How soon will you be in the area. There are many places you can find at that price. Our subdivision doesn't have very many 1 Br or studios but they are all over. Thanks for watching!
I am not sure but think it has a lot to do with risky lending policies by Philippine banks in the area to folks that shouldn't have gotten loans. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it 🙂
Some have ac, it just depends on the owners. You can always purchase a window unit for around $125 USD. Those work great for single rooms. Thanks for watching 🙂
Normally the air quality is good, but the last few days we have been getting some smoky air from the Taal volcano. It spewed some gases and should clear up in a few days. Thanks for watching 🙂
stay away at a safe radius from taal volcano, it will be spewing sulfur dioxide regularly forever, and then the next big eruption will come in like 30-40 years
Love your videos. Are you guys getting hit with the Taal Volcano Vog air quality right now. Can you talk about weather you are affected with it Please?
I'm thinking of retiring at 62 in three years. I'll get 1,500 mth, not including what my pension would be. Could you pretty live pretty decent on that amount?
Very nice tour of your subdivision...looks beautiful! We are back in the US now after a month in nearby Lucena City...already planning our next trip to the Philippines for December 2025 😂😅! Keep up the videos neighbor 😀❤
BGC is such an exciting, alive place to be and a far better option if your viewers can afford it. I would get bored living in a place like this which is most likely the reason so many homes there are up for rent and sale. However, the prices seem to be very attractive on the rental side of things. Nice video. Nice showing of the areas.
Thanks for the input. Jen is from Caloocan City, near BGC. For me personally I prefer less people and traffic, but that is probably due to my rural USA upbringing. Thanks for watching 🙂
Many retired people have had their fill of "exciting" when they were much younger and could enjoy it. Now it is much more desirable to be where others like yourself gets easily bored. Too much commotion is unsettling when you reach a certain age. Peace quiet and serenity become a valuable commodity. ( If you live long enough you will understand. ) There is plenty to do in the Lipa City's scenic area - and - with less smog cleaner air & cooler temps @ 1000 feet elevation than in BGC - and for less expense.
That is the normal. There are some really nice places here and some that have been let go and are run down. Our subdivision is 25 years old now. There are some brand new ones in Lipa and others still under construction. Thanks for watching 🙂
@@stanleyandjenlyncrum7582 this is quite informative. I've seen loads of trashy places in phil online. This is first well-kept place I've seen that is single family residences and very well painted.
I bought the scooter brand new 2 and a half years ago. It was listed at 109 k pesos. I paid in cash so they gave me a 10k discount. 99,000 pesos. Thanks for watching 🙂
@stanleyandjenlyncrum7582 thanks so much....looking forward to seeing your next video..on houses for sale and rent...as I am planning to relocate to the Phil's soon..

I smoke a lot aof cannabis can i smoke here
Not a good idea in the Philippines. Very strict laws regarding drugs and drug use. It is legal now in Thailand. Thanks for watching 🙂
@@stanleyandjenlyncrum7582 that does not sound like a good place to live.. Be careful my friend!!

I would love to be able to retire. But i have at least another 10 years before i can even think of that . But really looking into moving sonewhere where i can afford to momce and live on my ss checks and 401k.
Sounds like you have plenty of time to research and plan. Many of us make the move for financial reasons. I know it was a big factor in my decision. 🙂

Great video. Do they have a link where we can look at what’s for sale?
Here are a few choices in our area. When you are near Lipa send me an email and I will put you in contact with someone that can help you.

Was wondering, what would you get for 10k Php a month in your sub division mate? I'd just be looking for a Studio or 1 Bedroom place.
How soon will you be in the area. There are many places you can find at that price. Our subdivision doesn't have very many 1 Br or studios but they are all over. Thanks for watching!
I plan to over Stanley early to mid 2024@@stanleyandjenlyncrum7582
❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
The question is, why are so many homes for sale in that area?
I am not sure but think it has a lot to do with risky lending policies by Philippine banks in the area to folks that shouldn't have gotten loans. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it 🙂
Are they air conditioned? How is the internet in the sub division?
Some have ac, it just depends on the owners. You can always purchase a window unit for around $125 USD. Those work great for single rooms. Thanks for watching 🙂
I'm thinking of moving close to Lipa and would really like to know how the air quality it because of my health...thxs
Normally the air quality is good, but the last few days we have been getting some smoky air from the Taal volcano. It spewed some gases and should clear up in a few days. Thanks for watching 🙂
stay away at a safe radius from taal volcano, it will be spewing sulfur dioxide regularly forever, and then the next big eruption will come in like 30-40 years
Love your videos. Are you guys getting hit with the Taal Volcano Vog air quality right now. Can you talk about weather you are affected with it Please?
Thanks brother, we are getting some murky air from it but should clear up in a few days barring any more activity. We appreciate you watching 🙂
I'm thinking of retiring at 62 in three years. I'll get 1,500 mth, not including what my pension would be. Could you pretty live pretty decent on that amount?
Very nice tour of your subdivision...looks beautiful! We are back in the US now after a month in nearby Lucena City...already planning our next trip to the Philippines for December 2025 😂😅! Keep up the videos neighbor 😀❤
Thank you and thanks for watching🙂

That is cool, what a small world. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching 🙂
hope make more house video and tour them and the prices ? been a while .
We are trying to set those up right now. Thanks for watching 🙂
Nice looking houses i think i like living there when i move to Philippines
Thanks for the input, and we appreciate you watching 🙂
The 3 bedroom, 2 bath is 137 per month ?
The 2 story 2 BR/2 Bath was $134. We rented the 3 BR/2 Bath for $235. Thanks for watching🙂
BGC is such an exciting, alive place to be and a far better option if your viewers can afford it. I would get bored living in a place like this which is most likely the reason so many homes there are up for rent and sale. However, the prices seem to be very attractive on the rental side of things. Nice video. Nice showing of the areas.
Thanks for the input. Jen is from Caloocan City, near BGC. For me personally I prefer less people and traffic, but that is probably due to my rural USA upbringing. Thanks for watching 🙂
Many retired people have had their fill of "exciting" when they were much younger and could enjoy it. Now it is much more desirable to be where others like yourself gets easily bored. Too much commotion is unsettling when you reach a certain age. Peace quiet and serenity become a valuable commodity. ( If you live long enough you will understand. ) There is plenty to do in the Lipa City's scenic area - and - with less smog cleaner air & cooler temps @ 1000 feet elevation than in BGC - and for less expense.
@@frankkluz9787 Understandable. To each his or her own.
Is it always this excellent or did they clean it up and paint everything recently for this video ?
That is the normal. There are some really nice places here and some that have been let go and are run down. Our subdivision is 25 years old now. There are some brand new ones in Lipa and others still under construction. Thanks for watching 🙂
@@stanleyandjenlyncrum7582 this is quite informative. I've seen loads of trashy places in phil online. This is first well-kept place I've seen that is single family residences and very well painted.
Why only carports, no garages
I am not sure, maybe the heat? Let me see if I can find out. Thanks for watching 🙂
How much does it cost to get there
Hello friend, could you add a little more info on your question, we would be happy to help if we can. Thanks for watching 🙂
How much did your scooter cost
I bought the scooter brand new 2 and a half years ago. It was listed at 109 k pesos. I paid in cash so they gave me a 10k discount. 99,000 pesos. Thanks for watching 🙂
Beautiful houses. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching🙂
I noticed that you don't see any kind of trash anywhere.
The trash collection is included in the HOA fees and they pick up 3 times weekly. We appreciate you watching the video 🙂
@@stanleyandjenlyncrum7582One of my pet peeves is so much trash here; why can’t the rest of the country be this clean?
Wow excellent video....would love to know more about the houses for sale or rent
We are working on some more videos of that type. Thanks for watching 🙂
@stanleyandjenlyncrum7582 thanks so much....looking forward to seeing your next video..on houses for sale and rent...as I am planning to relocate to the Phil's soon..
How much for a tricycle ride from your Subd to SM Lipa ?
100-120 pesos, depending on the driver. Thanks for watching the video 🙂
Where is this place ❤😊 i like it
In the Lipa City, Batangas area, south of Manila. Thanks for watching 🙂
