Leading real estate portal Lamudi Philippines helps newlyweds how to
choose a location where to settle down
After the hype and excitement of the honeymoon wears off,
the most important matter that the newlyweds have to consider and decide upon
is where to settle down. For most couples, making their own family nest is a
thrilling yet a challenging first ride as husband and wife.
To ease the task a bit, global property website Lamudi Philippines shares it expertise to
guide new couples on how to choose the best place to begin a lifetime of
adventures.
In the Philippines, the first few months or even years of
the newlywed couples are often spent with the in-laws as close-family ties are
seriously observed in the country. They usually go back and forth to visit and
stay with both sides of the family. This scenario could be happy, endearing,
and tiresome at the same time, and as real life sets in, the marriage will not
be complete without a place they can call their home.
But what does it take for a community to house your future home?
As the need of each couple varies, different deciding factors are also at play
before finally being able to pick where to settle. It can be proximity to
family, nearness to work and leisure, affordability, amenities, or even house
architecture.
Mostly, the top deciding reason is still familiarity and
closeness to family. Newlyweds start their solo life together but still prefer
to be easily surrounded by family and common things so they rent out apartments
or units near their family houses.
On the other hand, for those who are ready to dive in an
independent lifestyle, here are some suggestions that could narrow down the
search.
Live, Work, and Play
Walkable communities are very appealing to most
house-hunters today especially to new couples who love to spend time together
and not waste time. Top cities with good mixed-used locations where everything
and anything are within reach are Makati, Taguig, Mandaluyong, and Quezon City.
These cities house top multinational corporations, topnotch schools, and
hospitals, and residential buildings are likewise strategically located around
these places. Leisure components such as shopping malls, supermarkets, and
other retail shops are also scattered around these mixed-use townships, making
everything you ever need and want just a few minutes away.
Condominiums in these top central areas are also built with
top-notch amenities that could make life more handy and suitable. Aside from
the normal water and fitness features, developers are coming up with more
unique services to offer like relaxing spas, reliable day care centers, valet
parking and a myriad others.
Value-For-Money Homes
in Suburban Areas
Cities and provinces located at the fringe areas of Metro
Manila are also good options for future home. As revealed by Lamudi’s search
data, Filipino house-hunters still prefer landed houses over condominium units.
This is easily achievable in next wave cities like those found in Cavite,
Laguna, Bulacan, and Rizal. In these areas, you can live just at the outskirts
of the big city and go home to quaint and suburban home.
In addition, business process outsourcing (BPO) firms and
other corporate offices are also choosing to locate in some of these areas,
especially when real estate developers are unveiling provincial projects that
also cater to them. This makes finding employment outside the traditional
business districts possible. In addition, upcoming infrastructure projects like
the Cavite–Laguna Expressway, the NLEX–SLEX Connector Road, MRT-7 are also
currently in the development pipeline, ensuring that travel to these areas will
become fast and easy in the future.
