Anybody who wishes to move to Quezon City must consider the size of the city, of which Manila City, the country’s capital, is at most a third of. This is because Quezon City is a monstrous amalgamation of multiple “districts” which can all be considered to be cities in themselves. This has lead to the city being completely diverse in the environs that it contains. This ranges from the commercial areas of Eastwood in the Cubao and Bagumbayan district, to the residential districts that are Cubao and Loyola Heights. The person moving to the city must make sure that the district they are moving to is the right one for their purposes, since travelling to other districts currently takes too much time, especially with the existence of 24-hour traffic in select areas.
