Metro
Manila is the capital city of the Philippines. With that being said, people
from all over the country desire to try their luck in the big city. However,
the huge influx of people and the steady increase of infrastructure in Metro
Manila have taken its toll.
There
is now less space for traditional houses that is why developers of real estate in the Philippines are taking
advantage of this, thus the birth of Manila condominiums. Aside from the limited space for residential areas, here are
some of the reasons why condominiums are a hit in Metro Manila:
Prime Location
Most condominiums in Metro
Manila are strategically situated near, if not at the center, of business
districts and town centers. The cost of land in these areas is usually very
expensive, so investing in a condominium unit is more practical. The worsening
traffic in the metro is another good reason why living in a condominium is
advisable. If you are a working professional living near the office, you get
more time for yourself and less time on the road.
Facilities
Most, if not all, condominiums
have facilities like swimming pool, gym, function rooms, recreation facilities,
and exclusive parking spaces. With the limited land area, parking space has
become a luxury in Metro Manila. There are also some condominiums that offer
unlimited internet and cable access. Condominium unit owners are given priority
rights to use these amenities.
Maintenance
Condominium units require less
maintenance, not only because it is smaller compared to traditional
single-detached houses, but also because unit owners are responsible only with
the interiors of the condo unit. Repairs and other improvements, such as
gardening, repainting, and other beautification efforts, are shouldered by the
condominium association, so this is an added plus for busy professionals who
have no time to think about, or even fix, these things.
Security
Due to the increasing reports
about theft and robbery in the metro, living in condominiums offers a sense of
round the clock security. Security guards, closed circuit televisions, and
alarm systems are provided by the developers as part of the condominium package.
The fast-paced life in Metro Manila can be
exhausting however exciting it may be. Eliminating the seemingly small issues
like commuting, repair, and security can greatly affect the quality of your
stay in the big city. Spending more of your time and efforts on what matters
most is what life is all about.
