Ateneo & Katipunan dorm prices in 2026
What a verified dorm near Ateneo de Manila should cost — by building type, street, and walking distance to the Katipunan gates.
Condo studios (One Katipunan, Vista 309, Xavierville)
- 5–12 min walk (or one short jeep) to Gate 2.5 / 3. Newer towers with gym, pool, and included fiber Wi-Fi.
- Price: ₱13,000 – ₱18,000 / month for a solo studio. Katipunan Avenue is the most expensive belt around any Manila campus.

Private rooms & small dorms (Esteban Abada, B. Gonzales)

- Watch out for: older electrical wiring — confirm the aircon load and whether power is sub-metered.
Bedspaces (Loyola Heights interior)

- Price: ₱4,000 – ₱5,500 / month per bedspace.
- Watch out for: curfews and strict guest rules, which are common in the interior dorms.
