Westgrove Heights: A nature-lover’s scenic escape

Residents of the Ayala Westgrove Heights subdivision have continuously attested to the fact that the even the sturdiest urbanite can find respite from pressing demands and strains of working conditions in the metropolis with the beguiling, greenery-rich endeavor of Ayala Land, Inc. Its beauty transcending mere brochure copy and photographs, the upscale subdivision, which is just 2.5 km away from Sta. Rosa, Laguna, is best experienced for oneself, its rapidly growing number of residents acknowledging how it has become a lush and escapist world in itself.

Stepping into the world of Ayala Westgrove Heights has aptly been described as akin to discovering a hidden paradise, as the country’s leading real estate developer has worked around naturally distinct features of the site to preserve their captivating characteristics. Thick foliages of thousands of mango trees and vibrant shrubbery comprise the blanketing tranquility of the Orchard, spread out across the property’s first three phases.

This massive garden has gotten its share of enhancements that make it a deft combination of living and recreational elements, an environment richly existing apart from the virtually green-devoid urban setting. A combination of landscaping and hardscaping has made the area conducive for family picnics, fruit pickings, and even simple, laid-back sightseeing. Other outdoor activities such as jogging or skating have been encouraged by the presence of park walkways, a rink, and children’s play areas.

The relaxing Orchard Park, abundantly decked with an array of native fruit trees, has been strategically lined with such plants within separate zones for corresponding fruit-bearing seasons. This resplendent greenbelt park is bejeweled by flowers like yellow bells, star clusters, periwinkles, forget-me-nots, and cape honeysuckles. Lesser-known than the aforementioned plants but equally attractive species, like the ixora, the leea, and the croton, help magnify the park’s innate appeal, as well.

These inherent, visually enriching traits are made even more accessible and viewable with the construction of several gazebos located throughout Ayala Westgrove Heights’ most scenic spots. One of these, the fishing deck in the Central Park, overlooks the pristine, man-made lagoon. Exemplifying the emphasis on satisfying the nature-lover’s desires; this lagoon and other shimmering bodies of water in the property add a touch of balance to the subdivision’s rolling terrains and textured land aesthetics.
