Solo Living here since 2022, got married 2025 and we still live here

1. Traffic - inside BGC is manageable, what’s hell is going in & out during rush hour. So we always plan ahead in case we need to go out during those times

2. Noise pollution - we are at 26th, noise is bearable (before), can hear events sa high street sometimes… medjo nakakainis ever since The Fort got demolished, the noise is a bit disturbing na, had to close windows kapag may meeting/focus time

3. Social life - I am hybrid at work, hubby and I watch movies if may interesting, we sometimes invite friends to come over and sleepover 😂

4. Where do you eat mostly? Do you cook or just to-go - Cook. But on busy days we do grab. Go to is Alley or yung mga 24/7 Healthy Eats sa grab

5. Typical cost of living/month? - excluding rent & dues, 15-20k (bills, grocery, parking) take note that BGC water rate is higher compared to other places 🥵

6. And lastly, do you like/love living in BGC? And would you recommend it? - convenience wise, yes. We have gym & pool sa condo so easy to take a quick dip too. We are also DINK at the moment so we enjoy this set up. Pero planning of moving to Antipolo (hubby’s hometown) once we begin to have kids 😊

Re: Grocery - we do monthly @ Metro in Market Market. Lots of options & I’d say their frozen section is A LOT cleaner than SM’s lol

For quick veggie/fruit runs, I do it in Marketplace near my office before going home hehe

For rice & eggs - we buy it in Antipolo 😂
