Why Tagaytay City Is Still One of the Best Places to Live and Invest in the Philippines

When it comes to cool weather, breathtaking views, and peaceful living without straying too far from Metro Manila, Tagaytay City remains at the top of the list.
Known as the “Second Summer Capital of the Philippines,” Tagaytay continues to attract families, retirees, professionals, and property investors looking for a balance of nature and comfort. Whether you’re planning to settle down, buy a weekend home, or expand your real estate portfolio, Tagaytay deserves your attention.
🍃 A Refreshing Escape Just South of Manila

Located just 59 kilometers from Metro Manila, Tagaytay is easily accessible via major roads like Aguinaldo Highway, Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Road, and CALAX. That makes it the perfect getaway or permanent residence for those who work in the city but crave a healthier, more peaceful lifestyle.
The city’s elevation provides a cool climate year-round, with average temperatures ranging between 18–25°C — a stark contrast to the heat and bustle of the lowlands.
