EVER since the pandemic hit, property hunters have changed their preferences. They now opt to move outside of the National Capital Region and live in future-proof homes that could provide them ample, livable space in less crowded places.
This is so apparent in provincial areas that have become an attractive choice for real-estate buyers due to major developments happening there, including the construction of modern buildings and infrastructure and the vibrance of the business scene. Given these, out in the provinces— residents experience a freer yet convenient, almost cosmopolitan lifestyle like in the metropolis.
Even before this trend arises, Avida Land has already established vibrant communities around the country, not only in Metro Manila and other major areas in Luzon, but also in the Visayas and Mindanao regions.
In Cebu—the top provincial hot spot in 2020—the developer of choice among the rising middle class has developed two residential condominiums both in the Ayala Land-owned estate, Cebu IT Park. Located within the mixed-use development, Avida Towers Cebu and Avida Towers Riala offer two-bedroom units, ranging from 52 sq m to 57 sq m, spacious enough for hardworking professionals living in the main business district.
The Ayala Land subsidiary has a mix of horizontal and vertical communities in Iloilo. Avida Village Iloilo features houses and lots, from 30 sq m to 110 sq m. Seated in Ayala Land-owned estate Atria Park District, condominium developments Avida Towers Atria and Avida Storeys Atria offer convenience to residents being close to essential establishments like a mall and a hospital.
The real-estate developer also has a horizontal community in Bacolod, named Avida Village Northpoint. This quaint subdivision offers houses and lots, with the biggest at 65 sq m fit for a 2-story family home.
Avida Land has residential enclaves in Mindanao as well. In Davao—the second most popular provincial hot spot in 2020—it has vertical projects for property seekers, named Avida Towers Davao and Avida Towers Abreeza. For Cagayan de Oro condo buyers, it offers Avida Towers Aspira and Centrio Towers, both located within the vast mixed-use district.
All these southern region projects promote an active, free-spirited lifestyle to residents amid the pandemic given their recreational amenities. Likewise, they are priced affordably for mid-income families amid the crisis, ranging from P1.7 million to P4.9 million.
Since these developments abound near essential establishments and business districts, property owners can enjoy huge savings on transportation expenses once they move into their units. The amenities within the communities also offer quick access to recreational activities that would otherwise be available at a cost. All the essentials and comforts in Avida Land residential enclaves, indeed, are within reach—physically and financially.
