Cebu is one of the most developed provinces in the Philippines with Metro Cebu being the second-largest metropolitan area in the Philippines.
In this video, I tour Cebu IT Park and Cebu Business Park, two of Cebu’s most popular destinations for expats, retirees, and location-independent entrepreneurs.

BEST NEIGHBORHOODS IN CEBU
Several developments in Cebu are considered “trendy” or “cool” and are usually located near commercial centers and have easy access to everything.
Cebu IT Park - has first-world standards like sidewalks, proper-sized roads, coffee shops, restaurants, condos, and a new mall.
Many employees in the IT Park area work at business processing companies and call centers servicing the United States and Europe. Workers are coming on and off of shifts around the clock, so many restaurants are open 24 hours a day. With this, there is a well-educated group of English-speaking professionals in the area, making it easy to make Filipino friends.
Cebu Business Park (CBP) is home to several multinational businesses, residential condos, hotels, and the Ayala Center shopping mall, which draws 85,000 visitors on an average day.
CBP is the single largest urban development project in the Philippines outside of Manila.
Calyx Residences are located in the residential enclave of the Cebu Business Park, two blocks away from Ayala Center Mall it is home to Cebu’s first high-rise rooftop infinity swimming pool on the 28th floor offering a panoramic view of the channel, the city harbor, and the mountains surrounding Cebu.

Cebu IT Park area, is exactly what made me consider retiring young in PH. I visited Last year for the first time and was amazing. I am Counting down 3 more years and Retiring at 45yrs old.

Great to see the nicer side of the Philippines. $27.00 for a nice hotel room is pretty reasonable. It's nice to be able to choose a more of a local lifestyle or Western lifestyle.

Best neighbourhood indeed. So safe and plenty of fresh air with lush gardens all around. Thank you for taking the time to feature the self-contained units in Ayala. God bless you and your beautiful friends❤

I live walking distance to IT park Cebu for almost 4 years and this is my favorite place because it is modern, clean and safe. I miss Cebu so bad! The best island in the Philippines for me.

Excellent presentation. Liked, subscribed, and rang that bell.

That was an awesome video. Thank you so much. I learned a lot of things as far as the new places to visit like "the Sugbo Merkado" and that is actually new to me. It's been awhile I haven't visited Cebu since Covid but now it's slowing down and I get a chance to visit again. I miss Cebu and I miss my family!

I'll be visiting Cebu in the coming months and oddly enough staying at the Calyx Residence; first time in Cebu😁

[CarefreeChris]

Nice. I didn't know you could get into parts of the Ayala mall before 10

Cebu Business Park & IT Park used to be a Golf Course & a Airport. When I was still in Cebu 30 yrs ago its not like this now.its very big changes!!! Lots of Tall buildings, Big Malls, Condos, Foreign

[yodathejedi]

Thanks for this very nice rundown of Cebu, we decided to stay near Ayala Center at Red Planet (opposite side from Hop Inn), hope it will be ok later in july :)

[islandliferetiree]

Thank you for showing the IT neighborhood. I’m retiring back not to my birthplace Luzon. I’m considering IT Cebu area rather than BGC or Marikina. I’m excited👍🥰‼️

There's a bus that'll take you from IT Park to Sm Seaside and all the way to IL Corso (another cool spot to dine and roam around in). Everything in IT Park is just a few steps away from each other -- coffee shops, condos, hotel, supermarket and the like. Avida Tower 1 was my official residence during the lockdown -- with Sugbo Mercado right up front. This video brings bits and feels of nostalgia.

While in Cebu Business District, I really fancy Kate's inside Rustan's supermarket for there coffee and bread/pastries. And the nearby Ayala Mall, it's got UCC and Starbucks (my favorite coffee shops), and a host of restaurants and joints to choose from -- Laguna Cafe and TGIF tops my list. Plus the shops inside with most of the brands you can imagine (H & M, Mossimo, Terra Nova etc).

This is an outstanding video -- probably the best I have seen of key parts of Cebu City. I live here and have learned things.
