about the area

Looking for the perfect place to build a family, grow an Airbnb business, flip properties, or cultivate a farm right at your doorstep? We’ve discovered a place embraced by vast mountains, greeted by stunning views, cold like Tagaytay without the risk of the volcano, budget friendly, and most importantly, it’s not too far from the city. 

Is Tanay the Next Tagaytay?

We totally understand, everybody is eyeing a piece of Tagaytay maybe for a second home, investment, or the ideal family home, all thanks to its cool climate. But with property prices rising left and right, this dream may just be out of reach. But here’s why Tanay rises as the best alternative out there. Here you can enjoy the cold breeze, serene nature, numerous rivers, camping sites, and hiking trails without breaking the bank. Unlike Tagaytay, where the presence of a volcano adds an element of risk, Tanay provides a secure and affordable investment, starting at just Php 8,000 per sqm compared to Tagaytay’s heftier prices that start from Php 20,000 per sqm and up. 

Nature and Environment

Just last year, Tanay hit the second-lowest temperature on record, right after the cold Baguio City. With lows dipping to a cold18 degrees, it has quickly become the go-to spot for folks wanting a break from the scorching heat of Metro Manila. And if you’re early enough, you might even catch the majestic sea of clouds embracing the Sierra Madre mountains. 

The security provided by gated subdivisions, coupled with flexible payment options, makes it particularly ideal for those looking to start a family. Beyond this, what sets Tanay apart are the array of outdoor and family-friendly recreational activities accessible within a short drive from the town proper. Such includes trips to caves like Calinawan cave for the adventurous and Mount Daraitan for a beginner-friendly hike. For those seeking a refreshing dip, various waterfalls, such as the famous Daranak and Batlag Falls, provide an enjoyable escape for families as well. There are also resorts such as Bakasyunan Resort and Conference Center where you can find fun-filled activities such as a mini golf, fishing lagoon, team building activities, and more. 

Investment Potential

Tanay is swiftly evolving into an established town with all the conveniences just at reach. The Rizal Provincial Hospital has one extension conveniently situated near the town proper. Among the 8 campuses of the University of Rizal System, the Tanay campus offers the most expansive with approximately 92 hectares vast land. The campus is recognized for its flagship program in agriculture, providing both doctorate and master’s degrees. Additionally, the campus offers a diverse range of courses, including education, arts, sciences, agribusiness, and various non-degree programs. And most importantly, Tanay continues to be the top destination in Rizal for a quick escape with restaurants sprouting left and right, various camp grounds, leisure resorts, and and a plethora of nature and outdoor activities to indulge in.

Tanay is a mere 54 kilometers east of Metro Manila compared to Tagaytay’s 65 kilometers, not to mention the expensive and recurring tolls. Getting here is easy, you go by car either via the Marikina Infanta Highway or by taking a scenic route through the neighboring municipalities of Teresa, Morong, and Baras.

Rise of Farm Estates

The aftermath of the pandemic has witnessed a surge in the rise of farm residential estates. Many of us found ourselves confined to our homes in the busy and congested cities with a growing number turning to gardening and farming as a therapeutic hobby. Tanay marries both worlds and offers more. With gated subdivisions offering spacious cuts starting at 500 sqm and up, along with the modern conveniences of urban living and easy accessibility to the town proper, this place undoubtedly stands out as one of the best options if your looking for farm residential estate of your own.

Airbnb Business Opportunity

Travelers are always on the lookout for places that let them dive into nature, and Tanay (especially during the pandemic!) has been one of the go-to spots for those looking to have quick one day escape. Airbnb hosts can cater to adventure-seeking guests who prefer a more immersive and active vacation experience unique to Tanay. From exploring nature reserves like Masungi to immersing themselves in the rich history of old Tanay churches and local heritage sites, guests can enjoy a well-rounded adventure— all amidst scenic nature views, serene environment, and refreshing cold climate, creating a truly unique destination for Airbnb guests. 

Property Prices, Compared to Antipolo

Our five years of selling in Antipolo have given us a front-row seat to the evolving real estate landscape. We have seen the demand in Antipolo grow exponentially each year because of the desire for spacious living and a connection to nature brought by the pandemic. Coupled with the various infrastructure being developed that ease travel time, this has established Antipolo as one of the top locations for those looking to move out of the city. But with demand at an all time high and inventory running low, we think Tanay is poised to become the next hotspot. Priced at a reasonable Php 8,000/sqm much like when we first started selling in Antipolo, it’s not long until we see it grow to become the next sought-after spot for those seeking to move.

New Developments and Developers

Tanay is currently witnessing a surge in new developments and gated subdivisions, offering diverse options for buyers in terms of lot sizes, amenities, and payment terms. Verterra Highlands, launched in 2022 by Sta Lucia, covers 60 hectares, featuring lots starting from 500 sqm. Also launched in 2022, Adelaida Mountain Residences by A Brown spans 16 hectares, offering lots from 250 sqm, ideal for growing families and retirees.
