Amaia Steps Capitol Central

Bacolod is more than just the City of Smiles. In 2017, it is awarded as one of the best places to live in the Philippines. Thus, there should be no second thoughts whatsoever if you want to live here. While the setting is highly urbanized, Bacolod remains faithful to its roots—laidback and low-cost living amidst the smiling locals that charm local and foreigners alike. Its southern charm never seizes to amaze. Not to mention, the old mansions that are an epitome of old hacienda living. One popular destination is the Balay Negrense. The provincial capitol building is also a sight to behold with its Romanesque neoclassical design. Life is sweeter in Bacolod, as they say. The reason behind is its delectable cuisine. Food is the people’s #1 source of business. However, fine dining restaurants are not your only option. There are also coffee shops and carinderias that can satiate one’s own craving from inasal to piaya. Everything seems to be fast-paced to particularly its infrastructure and tourism as well as housing developments. No wonder it is dubbed as a competitive mid-sized city in the country. Nevertheless, quality of life is preserved. Bacolod isn’t fazed with issues related to overdevelopment. It has an excellent road network hence traffic is not really a problem. There are public and private schools and recreational facilities like golf courses, sports facilities and even bars and restaurants.
