Moving to Makati is an exciting step for students and young professionals, but finding affordable and convenient housing can be challenging. Dormitories in Makati are quickly becoming the top choice for first-time movers looking for a stress-free and budget-friendly transition to city life.

One of the biggest benefits of living in a dormitory in Makati is its strategic location. Dorms like The Grid place you within walking distance of schools, offices, malls, and major transport hubs. With MRT stations such as Ayala and Buendia nearby, you can easily navigate the city without spending hours in traffic. Shorter commutes mean more time for work, study, and leisure—giving you a better quality of life in the heart of the city.


Being close to key destinations also makes errands and daily activities effortless. Whether it’s grabbing essentials from nearby convenience stores, enjoying the green spaces or attending classes and meetings, living in a central Makati dorm saves you both time and transportation costs. This convenience is a major draw for students and professionals who want to maximize their productivity and enjoy city living without the hassle of long commutes.

Affordable and Flexible Living

Compared to apartments and condominiums, a Makati dormitory is a more budget-friendly option. Monthly rates are significantly lower, and they often include utilities, Wi-Fi, and maintenance. This all-in-one pricing makes it easier for students and young professionals to manage their finances.



The Grid also offers flexible lease options, from daily to monthly stays, making it ideal for first-time movers, interns, and digital nomads. Short-term stays allow travelers to experience Makati life without committing to a long lease, while long-term packages provide stability for those who need a home base for school or work. This flexibility ensures that whether you’re testing the waters of city living or settling in for a year, there’s a plan to match your lifestyle.
