If you fancy living near Makati then you may consider the posh villages in Alabang. There is the Ayala Alabang Village. It is a quiet, clean and friendly neighbourhood. There are a lot of foreign nationals living there. AAV is owned by the Madrigals and the Ayalas. The owner of the villages in Makati City lives there (Zobel de Ayala), He ownes the villages like Dasmarinas Village, Bel-Air Subdivision in Forbes Park, San Lorenzo Vill, and Forbes Park to name a few.
Some residents are former Presidents of the the country, some known gov't officials, senior officers of big entities, dignataries/commercial attache of some countries working in the consulate. It has a church inside the village, Rustan's convenience store , a golf course, exclusive schools for girls (Woodrose) and La Salle Zobel. They have their own water reservoir, it has swimming pools for residents only (for those that don't have pools in their backyard).
When you go out of the village you can find supermarkets, cinemas, schools, banks.
Security is superb there are security guards roaming around the village 24 hrs and visitors should stop at the entrance gate before they go inside to visit friends/relatives. Residents are notified first by the guards by giving them a call if they know the person who wants to go and visit their home. So there is no surprise visitors unless the resident gives advance notice to the guards who are they expecting on that certain day.
Alabang Hills Subdivision is just across and also one to consider. If you want to know more about houses for rent or for sale just go to AAVA (Ayala Alabang Village Association). It is inside the Village you can ask the security guards at the entrance gate. You can take the madrigal gate in going to AAVA.
You can also visit their website if you want to know the prices of the houses there for sale and/or for rent. Same with the schools to know the quality of education offered. I don't know the exact link but if you know the address then you can access to it. It's Ayala Alabang Village Alabang Muntinlupa City, Manila Philippines..
