Living in masterplanned community introduced

Avida Land’s ability to introduce new living standards outside Metro Manila is again evident in San Rafael Estates Phase 2, a residential community situated at the foot of Mt. Makiling in Sto. Tomas, Batangas.

In this 11-hectare community where established couples and small business owners reside, baptisms and birthday parties are now taking place at a social center that residents are learning to fully appreciate — the Mediterranean-themed community clubhouse. Thanks to the various completed amenities, homeowners need not go far to indulge in leisure and recreational activities. The clubhouse swimming pool, basketball court, jogging path and play area are just a few minutes away from most of the homes in the neighborhood.

The residents can now appreciate the clubhouse both as the focal point of the community and as a venue for every family, according to Borj Lejano, project development group manager of Avida Land. Aside from its resort-like amenities, San Rafael Estates Phase 2 offers residents 24/7 security, perimeter fences, adequate power and water supply.

Like all Avida Land communities, San Rafael Estates Phase 2 adheres to a masterplan which is initially enforced by Avida Land’s own village manager, and later transferred to a homeowners association. Adherence to the masterplan is Avida Land’s guarantee that the village will remain an attractive and orderly community, and is certain to increase in value over the long term.

This, in addition to other features, has made the place attractive to residents of Sto. Tomas as well as from nearby Calamba. Around majority of the units offered are lots-only packages with an average cut of 225 sqm, though the relatively flat terrain can accommodate housing units offered using the TEX building system technology that Avida Land uses for its house-and-lot packages. San Rafael Estates Phase 2 lots range from 170 to 480 sqm, and are priced at P5,250/sqm.

San Rafael Estates Phase 2 is around two hours drive away from Metro Manila. From the national highway, it can be accessed through the 20-meter spine road or through the San Antonio Barangay Road. San Rafael Estates, is a joint development of Avida Land Corp. with partners Greenfield Development Corp. and Batangas Assets Corp.
