Cebu City Homebuyer Guide
Key barrios, commute options, and price expectations when relocating to the Queen City of the South.

Cebu City mixes urban convenience with resort-style amenities. Condos around IT Park and Lahug rent well thanks to the BPO footprint, while families gravitate toward Banilad, Talamban, and Maria Luisa for larger cuts of land.
Expect preselling condos in Cebu Business Park between ₱170k–₱210k per sqm with ready-for-occupancy units priced slightly higher. Landed homes inside gated subdivisions range from ₱18M to ₱65M depending on lot size and elevation.
Plan weekend inspections so you can experience traffic peaks from Mandaue and the reclaimed SRP. Note that flood-prone zones still occur near rivers—request DPWH flood maps from your broker before finalizing an offer.
