Real Estate in Quezon City
Verified real estate listings in Quezon City — the largest city in the Philippines by population, where UP Diliman, Ateneo de Manila, Vertis North, and Eastwood City anchor a residential market spanning affordable Novaliches condominiums to premium Eastwood addresses.
About Quezon City
Quezon City is the largest local government unit in the Philippines with 2.96 million residents across 142 barangays, and the most diverse real estate market in Metro Manila. Its economic identity is shaped by three overlapping engines: institutional (UP Diliman, Ateneo, Philippine Heart Center, major government agencies along Commonwealth Avenue), commercial-BPO (Eastwood City by Megaworld in Libis, Vertis North by Ayala Land along Quezon Avenue), and mass-residential (Fairview, Novaliches, Commonwealth corridor). Buyers range from university employees and healthcare workers to BPO professionals and middle-income families relocating from Metro Manila. New supply is active across all price segments. SMDC has multiple projects in QC targeting mid-income buyers (Light Residences, Trees, Shine at various EDSA/Timog/Scout locations). Ayala Land developed Vertis North (35 hectares at Quezon Avenue), the city's emerging CBD. Megaworld's Eastwood City in Libis is a mature BPO township with active condominium re-sale and rental markets. SM North EDSA and TriNoma anchor the North EDSA corridor. Condominium prices range from below ₱4 million in Fairview/Novaliches to ₱15 million and above in Eastwood and Vertis North. Flood risk exists in low-lying communities. Quezon City has five river systems and 44 tributaries, with approximately 78 flood-prone areas across 35 communities. Barangays along the Tullahan River in Novaliches and low-lying portions of the Kamuning district experience recurring flooding during heavy rains. EDSA traffic is consistently the most significant commute constraint for QC residents — MRT-3 provides rail relief along the EDSA corridor (5 stations in QC), while LRT-2 (Santolan to Recto) and the under-construction MRT-7 toward Bulacan will expand transit options.
Location Details
Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Quezon City has five river systems and 44 tributaries, with approximately 78 documented flood-prone areas across 35 communities. Barangays along the Tullahan River in the Novaliches district and low-lying areas in the North Triangle and Kamuning zones experience recurring flooding during heavy rains and typhoon events. Upland barangays in Diliman (UP campus area), East Triangle, and Batasan Hills have lower flood risk. DPWH flood mitigation projects in Quezon City are ongoing. Buyers should check PAGASA barangay-level hazard maps and prioritize barangays away from the city's river corridors.
Transport
EDSA (Epifanio de los Santos Avenue) traverses the western edge of QC with five MRT-3 stations: North Avenue, Quezon Avenue, Kamuning, Araneta-Cubao, and Santolan. Commonwealth Avenue is the main north-south surface artery serving the city's interior. LRT-2 (Santolan-Recto) runs through the eastern portion. MRT-7 is under construction from North Avenue to San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, with QC stations planned. The Metro Manila Subway is in early construction phases with stations in QC. Quezon Avenue connects to EDSA and Quezon Bridge to Manila. Off-peak travel from North EDSA to BGC/Makati via MRT-3 and transfer takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
Amenities
Malls: SM North EDSA (North Avenue — one of the largest SMs in the Philippines), TriNoma (Ayala, North Triangle/Quezon Avenue), Ayala Malls Vertis North (Quezon Avenue), Robinsons Galleria (EDSA-Ortigas). Hospitals: St. Luke's Medical Center QC (E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue — one of PH's top hospitals), Philippine Children's Medical Center (Agham Road), National Kidney and Transplant Institute (East Avenue). Schools and universities: University of the Philippines Diliman (UP Diliman, 240-hectare campus), Ateneo de Manila University (Katipunan Avenue), Miriam College, Xavier School.
Growth Potential
Ayala Land's Vertis North (35 hectares, Quezon Avenue) is the city's most active major development — the CBD features high-rise offices, a mall, hotel, and residential towers, transforming the former North Triangle into a genuine second QC commercial center. SMDC continues releasing residential projects across multiple QC locations. Megaworld's Eastwood City in Libis remains a high-demand BPO and residential address. The MRT-7 under construction will, upon completion, materially improve access between QC's northern barangays and the metro rail network, supporting appreciation near planned station areas.

Buyer Questions
Frequently asked about Quezon City real estate
Which areas of Quezon City are flood-prone?
QC has 78 documented flood-prone communities across 35 barangays, concentrated near its five river systems and 44 tributaries. The Tullahan River corridor in Novaliches, parts of the North Triangle near the Commonwealth-EDSA junction, and low-lying sections of the Kamuning area flood during heavy rains and typhoon events. Upland barangays — Diliman (UP campus area), East Triangle, Batasan Hills, and most of the Fairview-Novaliches highland — have significantly lower risk. Always check the specific barangay's PAGASA flood classification before purchasing.
How long is the commute within Quezon City to other Metro Manila CBDs?
MRT-3 from North Avenue to Ayala station (Makati): approximately 30–35 minutes. LRT-2 from Santolan to Recto (Manila): approximately 20–25 minutes. By car off-peak: QC to BGC via C-5 takes 30–45 minutes; QC to Ortigas via EDSA 20–30 minutes. Peak-hour EDSA adds 45–90 minutes to all road-based commutes — QC residents near MRT-3 stations have a material quality-of-life advantage over those in car-dependent barangays.
What are property prices in Quezon City?
Novaliches and Fairview affordable condos: ₱3.5M–₱6M. EDSA corridor mid-range: ₱5M–₱12M. Vertis North (Ayala Land, Quezon Avenue): ₱8M–₱20M. Eastwood City (Megaworld, Libis): ₱6M–₱18M. QC is the most price-diverse real estate market in Metro Manila — you can buy at ₱3.5M in Novaliches or ₱20M+ near the UP Diliman campus area.
Which developers are active in Quezon City?
Ayala Land developed Vertis North — a 35-hectare mixed-use CBD at Quezon Avenue with offices, the Ayala Malls Vertis North, and residential towers. Megaworld's Eastwood City in Libis is a mature BPO township with consistent rental demand. SMDC has multiple projects across QC (Light Residences, Shine, Trees). SM Prime operates SM North EDSA and is the dominant retail anchor.
Is Eastwood City in Quezon City or Pasig?
Eastwood City is in Barangay Bagumbayan, Libis — which is in Quezon City. This is a common misconception because Eastwood's eastern border is near the QC-Pasig boundary. If you are buying in Eastwood, you are under QC governance and paying QC real property taxes, not Pasig taxes. Pasig City contains Ortigas Center — a separate CBD about 3 kilometers south.
Is UP Diliman campus in Quezon City?
Yes. The University of the Philippines Diliman campus covers 240 hectares in Quezon City. Properties near the UP campus command a consistent premium from the university community — faculty, staff, researchers, and students. The UP campus also contains nationally significant institutions (Philippine General Hospital affiliate, NRCP, institutes) that generate their own employment-driven residential demand. Land inside the UP campus itself cannot be privatized.
What is Vertis North and how does it compare to BGC?
Vertis North is Ayala Land's 35-hectare mixed-use CBD development at Quezon Avenue — offices, Ayala Malls Vertis North, a hotel, and residential towers. It is QC's answer to BGC but smaller in scale and at lower price points: Vertis North condos run ₱8M–₱20M versus BGC's ₱12M–₱50M. For QC-based workers and families, Vertis North offers a BGC-style lifestyle within the city without the BGC premium or EDSA peak-hour commute. It is the most significant new commercial development in QC in the last decade.
