How do I find a place to live in Palawan Island?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"To find a place to live in Palawan Island, you can start by researching online on websites such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Agoda, which offer a variety of accommodations ranging from hotels, resorts, guesthouses, and vacation rentals. You can filter your search based on your preferences, budget, and desired location within Palawan. Another option is to join local Facebook groups or online forums dedicated to expats and travelers in Palawan, where you can ask for recommendations and advice on finding a place to live. You may also find listings for long-term rentals or house-sharing opportunities in these groups. Once you have shortlisted a few potential accommodations, read reviews from previous guests to get a better understanding of the quality and reliability of the place. If possible, contact the property owner or manager directly to ask any questions or negotiate the rental terms. If you are already in Palawan or planning a visit, you can explore the island and visit different neighborhoods to get a feel for the area and find a place that suits your needs. You can also ask locals for recommendations or check local newspapers and bulletin boards for rental listings. Finally, consider working with a local real estate agent who can help you find a suitable place to live based on your preferences and budget. They can also assist you with the rental process and provide valuable insights into the local housing market," said one person in Palawan Island.
