How do I find a place to live in Davao?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...

"We found a corner 2br condo (pool) on facebook under Davao House Rent. The neighborhood is central to most things; malls, easy taxi service, resto’s, Security is a must. Remember expats cannot own land. That is important if you are going to build," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Davao , Philippines.

"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Davao is to search online for rental listings. There are many websites that offer listings for apartments, houses, and other types of rental properties in Davao. Additionally, you can search for rental listings in local newspapers and classifieds. You can also ask friends and family who live in Davao for recommendations. Finally, you can visit the area in person and look for “For Rent” signs," commented one expat who made the move to Davao, Philippines.
