Suburban real estate developments are steadily meeting the demands of today’s homeowners and investors as top properties. The question is: what’s the best option for you? Image from Yura Lytkin on Unsplash
Living in the big city surely comes with many upsides. First off, local commerce and business districts are accessible in minutes. Mixed-use real estate developments lined up with popular shops, top-rated restaurants, and big offices are within a stone’s throw of most urbanites’ luxury houses. If you have been a city-dweller for a while, you know that the appeal and benefits of urbanization also come with a cost. Living in a busy capital means dealing with the daily bustle that comes with urban congestion and having limited access to greener spaces, among others. This leaves many affluent homeowners with a viable option: heading out to residential properties outside Metro Manila.
While everyone is trying to find high rise condos in places like bonifacio global city, they’re missing out on checking out single detached homes outside of the metro.
Despite the unexpected economic hit from the COVID-19 pandemic, interest in real estate properties remains strong. And the more peaceful environs of the suburbs appeal more in the market, especially to homeowners who are searching for fresher air and less crowded spaces. So if you are thinking of buying a luxury house and lot outside the Metro, whether it is for your next lucrative business investment or your next home, now is a great time as any.
Any real estate developer would know not to bend. The property market barely made changes and real estate projects continued despite the pandemic. Vista Land, as a real estate developer, was steadfast in creating and maintaining residential developments and new residential projects for the Philippines property market.
It helps that their projects are in prime locations close to shopping centers, shopping malls office buildings, and other commercial centers. Their new projects can get the instant traction they need.
But of course, leaving the big city life and buying a property are both major life decisions that need thorough contemplation. Here are some factors and options to consider before making your big move.
There are many reasons why investing in residential properties outside Metro Manila is gaining attention from property seekers in the Philippine real estate industry. Most assume that suburban life equates to isolation and a boring lifestyle. But here’s a reality check: times are changing. Developed suburbs are now becoming real estate hot spots that can go on par with premier residential districts situated in the big city, and for several reasons.
First off, suburban real estate properties offer a bigger living space. In most cases, the accessibility and proximity of residential properties in Metro Manila come at the cost of your floor and lot area. Most homes outside the Metropolis are significantly bigger, allowing space for more bedrooms, one’s very own garage, and even gardens or lawn areas.
The grass is indeed strikingly greener on the suburban side. Moving out of the big city means you will have more access to nature. Most suburban neighborhoods are situated in breathtaking locations in the country. Fresh air, lush greeneries, and a relaxing view of verdant mountainsides are just a few of the usual things you can enjoy from the comfort of your suburban abode.
One of the best things about prominent suburban communities is they are less crowded. You do not have to deal with the bustling and swarming city crowds. This is especially relevant today as social distancing protocols are strictly implemented to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In addition, incessant traffic jams are also milder in the suburbs compared with the road congestions in the Metropolis.
It’s easier to go to shopping centers because of the lack of congestion on this Philippine real estate. Other properties and new projects with a bigger office space gives us a safer place.
