Best of both worlds: Urban-style living in the countryside

MANILA, Philippines - Imagine living in the countryside away from the bustling, overcrowded city in the metropolis and still enjoy all the amenities of urban lifestyle and where one can have the best of both worlds – that is, condominium living in a serene and pollution-free atmosphere.

The lock-and-go feature of condominium living has become one of the main reasons  why urban dwellers, specially start-up families and young executives, prefer to acquire or  lease this type of abode.

The sense of security and maintenance that goes with staying in a condominium compared to buying a house and lot within the urban centers has become a plus factor in the  decision-making aspect in property acquisition among a large number of first-home buyers  working in the central business districts (CBDs) of Metro Manila.

But despite the availability of condominium units, prices of these types of dwellings have  escalated specially those near or within the CBDs over the past years. Aside from the pricing  issue, one would get the feel of being stuck with so-called city life or urban living.

PA Alvarez Properties and Development Corp., one of the most established  residential and township developer in Laguna, has started to set the pace of urban  lifestyle “in the countryside” with its San Jose Residencias condominium project located just 25  minutes from the Makati CBD that offers affordable, yet stylish condominium units.

A master-planned community, San Jose Residencias is located just beside the  Enchanted Kingdom theme park. Compared to other residential subdivisions in Laguna, one of  its advantages is its proximity to and from the  South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) tollway exit  and entry points, thus daily traffic woes will be a thing of the past for its residents. No service  roads to trek and no traffic congestions and long routes to pass just to get to the freeway.

The seamless travel to and from Makati via the SLEX is incomparable to the early  morning and evening traffic rush in the busy main thoroughfares of Metro Manila such as EDSA  and C-5.

Apart from the “natural amenities,” San Jose Residencias has its own parks and playground complete with swimming pool and other usual sporting and family oriented facilities.

Clean water supply is in abundance and each building has its own overhead tanks including drying cages for laundry requirements of its residents.

A total of 11 buildings will be erected in the two-hectare property ( seven five-story  buildings and four four-story buildings).

At present, four buildings have all been completed and sold out. Prices ranges from  P900,000 to P1.3 million. Financing facilities can be availed through Pag-IBIG, private banks and in-house finance at very affordable and easy terms.
