TODAY, calling one’s home in a master-planned community is all the hype. However, it may prove to be more than just a trend. As a product of efficient urban planning, these kinds of townships are increasingly becoming the preferred property choice by investors and home seekers for the number of benefits they bring to its dwellers.
A particular city center on the rise is Greenfield District—a 15-hectare master-planned development strategically located in Mandaluyong City. Easily accessible along the main Edsa thoroughfare, it is also right next to the bustling Ortigas Central Business District and within the “golden triangle” of Makati, Manila and Quezon City.
Its nature-rich masterplan is combined with future-ready technology of fiber-optic connectivity, to create a truly unique kind of convenient and efficient lifestyle for its residents, workers and visitors. Here are the top 5 reasons such a lifestyle will change the way you live for the better:
Live at the center of everything
Many residents of Metro Manila have never even been to other parts of the city, with the daunting prospect of traffic. Living near transportation networks, such as the Metro Rail Transit (MRT), can spell more freedom to explore new places, expand business activities and opportunities, or accomplish tasks and errands more efficiently. Greenfield District is integrated with the Shaw Boulevard station of the MRT, which is the midpoint of the long stretch of Edsa.
Benefit from a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood
Walking or bicycling around your neighborhood can be a pleasurable everyday hobby that can even be an exercise routine in itself. Visiting your favorite cafe for breakfast or meeting up with friends for lunch become an effortless activity. Most important, places such as Greenfield District are certified pet-friendly. Feel free to walk your beloved dog or catch some sunshine with your cat.
Avoid rush hour traffic
Did you know that the average Metro Manila residents spends almost 1,000 hours on the road every year? This is according to the Philippine chapter of the International Real Estate Federation. Living in a place where you also work will free up a lot of your time for many other important matters, pursuits and interests. Greenfield District is home to a number of office buildings with top locators, especially business-process outsourcing (BPO) firms. It is also unveiling its first BPO-dedicated building soon.
Be a healthier version of you
As you spend less time on the road, residents of master-planned communities get to spend more time focusing on their health and wellness. Greenfield District has particularly devoted a substantial portion of its commercial master plan to pursuing these ideals. Health-care facilities, fitness centers and sports establishments are easily accessible—some even integrated into residential condominiums—encouraging a truly active lifestyle.
Own a piece of property that appreciates in value over time
Most people think of real-estate investment in a passive manner. Living in a property and making practical use of it, while still allowing it to increase in value over time, is the best way to invest. A city home in any one of Greenfield District’s vertical communities provides this convenience and peace of mind. It is a future-ready home with its modern conveniences and technology, yet it is also a traditional legacy that can be passed down to coming generations.
