C5 links BGC, Ortigas and Eastwood without touching EDSA, and its condos price in three tiers: Taguig around ₱198,000 per sqm, Pasig around ₱167,000, Quezon City around ₱100,000. The corridor segment by segment, from McKinley West to Eastwood City, with the buildings to shortlist.

Condos Near C5: McKinley to Eastwood, the Corridor Guide (2026)

Ask a Metro Manila broker where the condo market is actually building, and a lot of the answer runs along one road: C5. The metro's second north-south spine (Carlos P. Garcia Avenue on the Taguig side, E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue toward Libis) connects SLEX and McKinley to BGC's eastern flank, crosses the Pasig River into Pasig's boulevard belt, passes the Bridgetowne and Parklinks townships, and lands in Eastwood City in Quezon City. Living on it means reaching BGC, Ortigas and Eastwood without touching EDSA, and the corridor prices in three distinct tiers, so the same commute can cost you very different money depending on which segment you pick.

Here is the C5 corridor condo by condo, south to north, with the price logic of each segment.

Why "condo near C5" is a smart search

C5 is what EDSA is not: it still moves outside rush hour, it links the three eastern business districts directly, and its residential stock is newer. The median asking prices on BalayHub's price index tell the story in one line: Taguig around ₱198,000 per square meter, Pasig around ₱167,000, Quezon City around ₱100,000. Same road, three price tiers, so the further north you buy, the more floor area the same budget gets, in exchange for a longer run to BGC.

McKinley and the Taguig segment

At the southern end, C5 runs past McKinley Hill and McKinley West, Megaworld's township pair beside BGC and the Villamor golf course. This is the corridor's premium tier, priced with Taguig's BGC gravity. The addresses to know are Park McKinley West, One McKinley Place, McKinley Park Residences and the low-density McKinley Hill Garden Villas. Buyers here are effectively buying BGC-adjacent at a discount to BGC proper; our BGC and Taguig guide covers how the two compare.

Bagong Ilog and the Pasig boulevard belt

Across the river, C5 meets Pasig Boulevard, and this is the corridor's workhorse middle: mid-market towers aimed at commuters who split their lives between BGC and Ortigas. DMCI Homes owns this segment, with Prisma Residences literally at the Pasig Boulevard corner of C5 and Allegra Garden Place a few hundred meters on, both resort-style, both 1BR-heavy. Megaworld's 18 Avenue de Triomphe anchors its Arcovia City township on the riverbend. Pricing sits near Pasig's citywide median, well under the McKinley tier, and the yield math is better; the full picture is in our Pasig condo prices guide.

Bridgetowne and Ortigas East

Where C5 meets Ortigas Avenue Extension, Robinsons Land's Bridgetowne township spreads across Pasig's Rosario and Manggahan barangays. This is the widest price spread on the corridor: the luxury tier in The Velaris Residences and Haraya Residences, the mid tier in Le Pont Residences, and the entry tier in the studio-heavy Cirrus and SYNC Residences. Nearby on Amang Rodriguez, Acacia Escalades is the budget pick. Bridgetowne is a bet on a district still building out, which is exactly why its entry pricing undercuts the established nodes.

Parklinks, the green bet

Straddling the Pasig and Quezon City line on C5, Parklinks is the Ayala Land and Eton joint township marketed as the corridor's greenest address, half the estate is open space and a riverside esplanade. The Pasig-side residential pick is Alveo's The Lattice at Parklinks; the QC side answers with Parklinks North and South Towers. Parklinks trades rail access for master-planned green space and direct C5 frontage between BGC and Eastwood.

Eastwood City and Libis, the northern anchor

C5's northern condo anchor is Eastwood City in Libis, Quezon City, Megaworld's original live-work-play township and still the corridor's most complete one: offices, two malls and two decades of residential stock. The depth of choice is the point here. Newer and premium: One Eastwood Avenue and Eastwood Global Plaza Luxury Residences. Established mid-tier: Eastwood Le Grand, Eastwood LeGrand Tower 1, Grand Eastwood Palazzo and Eastwood Lafayette. Entry and rental plays: Eastwood Excelsior, Eastwood Parkview and the serviced Eastwood Park Hotel & Residential Suites. At Quezon City's ₱100,000 per square meter median, the same money buys visibly more here than anywhere south on the corridor; see our Quezon City condo guide for the citywide view.

Picking your segment

  • Work in BGC, want the shortest run: McKinley (Taguig tier).
  • Split between BGC and Ortigas, want value and balconies: the Pasig Boulevard belt.
  • Want new-township upside at entry pricing: Bridgetowne.
  • Want green and new, can pay for it: Parklinks.
  • Want the most floor area and a complete township: Eastwood.

The honest caveat: C5 is a road, not a train line. The corridor has no rail today, so your commute lives and dies with traffic, and peak-hour C5 is no longer a secret. Test-drive the actual commute at the actual hour before you sign anything.

Frequently asked questions

Which condos are along C5 in Metro Manila?

South to north: the McKinley Hill and McKinley West towers in Taguig; Prisma Residences, Allegra Garden Place and 18 Avenue de Triomphe on Pasig Boulevard and Arcovia; the Bridgetowne towers (Velaris, Haraya, Le Pont, Cirrus, SYNC) at Ortigas East; The Lattice and the Parklinks towers on the Pasig-QC line; and the Eastwood City cluster in Libis, Quezon City.

Is living near C5 cheaper than living near EDSA business districts?

It depends on the segment. The Taguig end prices near BGC levels at around ₱198,000 per square meter, while Pasig's C5 belt sits near ₱167,000 and the Quezon City end near ₱100,000. The corridor's value case is the north: Eastwood and Libis give the most floor area per peso while keeping a direct road link to BGC and Ortigas.

Does C5 have a train line?

No. C5 is a road corridor with no rail service today, so the commute depends entirely on traffic. It moves better than EDSA outside rush hour, but peak-hour C5 is congested too. Test the actual commute at the actual hour before committing to a unit.

Which C5 area is best for investors?

The Pasig Boulevard belt and Bridgetowne typically offer the better yield math: entry prices below the McKinley tier with steady tenant demand from BGC and Ortigas commuters. McKinley suits capital-preservation buyers who want BGC adjacency, while Eastwood offers the deepest and most liquid rental pool at the lowest entry prices on the corridor.
