It’s part of Filipino culture to consider raising a family and starting a home as a metric for success. Be it in popular media or the drawing of a kindergartner, happiness is most often associated with a family clasping hands in front or inside a sturdy, beautiful house. Not without reason, too, as not only does it mean that you and your family have a wonderful roof over your heads, but having a place to call home makes all the difference in a very unpredictably demanding world.
 
Of course, considering economic situations and being practical, most people would rather have a small family than scores upon scores of kids. Others who cannot, for reasons that range from personal choice to physiological inability, bear children, tend to just adopt pets and fur babies. All these, however, still lead to leaving the nest and finding a home to settle on. While times have changed and certain belief systems have been altered or adjusted to suit the economic climate, one thing remains the same: getting a house getting a home is still a major milestone for any individual.
 
Whether you’re looking for a suitable place to build your home or you’re an upstart professional seeking to dent the world and have a comfortable place to go home to, here are a couple of considerations you have to make.
 
Accessibility To Places Of Interest
 
When searching for a place to stay in, it’s important to consider how far away you are from places where you’d most likely travel to for needs or for leisure. That said, these places of interest like supermarkets, wet and dry markets, shopping centers, banks, hospitals, schools, need to at least be just a few minutes away if you want a comfortable life.
 
First thing’s first, you have to consider how far away your potential home is from your workplace. You’d always like to be as punctual as possible when it comes to your bread and butter. If possible, find homes that are located near several main roads. That way, if one or two of your potential routes are congested, you have other options.
 
Secondly, if you’re trying to build a home you’d like to have the nearest hospital be just a few minutes away. This is so in case any major medical emergency arises, you can easily reach help. If you have kids (or want to have kids), knowing how far away your home is from the different schools of the area is another thing to consider.
 
Lastly, you’d like to know how far the supermarkets and shopping centers are from your residence as well. While not as important as the hospital or your workplace, it helps that where you get your food from doesn’t need you to wait one or two hours in traffic.
 
As an excellent example, Amoa in Compostela, Cebu, AboitizLand’s premier horizontal development in the region, can easily access several educational institutions, shopping malls, supermarkets, and resorts.
 

 
House And Lot Size
 
Whether you’re trying to raise a family or just want to have a place for yourself and your fur baby, you need to consider space. Space is an integral part of your home hunting as it is a major factor in dictating how comfortable you are. According to the Journal of Happiness Studies, there is some sort of relationship between the spaciousness of a house and the home owner’s happiness. While this is of course subjective based on the country in question, it’s pretty obvious that having space to move around makes you feel comfortable, therefore adding to your well-being.
 
Of course, if you have kids or plan to have them, it’s important for you to have spaces that can be turned into bedrooms. After all, they will eventually grow up and require their own space for privacy. Having space for a living room and dining room to accommodate family gatherings is also a plus.
 
Lastly, it’ll help if you have rooms that don’t necessarily need to room people. These can be turned into libraries, game rooms or general hobby rooms. Other than being a place to store all your most beloved items, it can become a place that caters to family bonding time.
 
Amoa has a myriad of options available for you to choose from. Each of these house types has enough space to accommodate whatever kind of family you have.
 
Its biggest unit, the Asta Single Attached, has over 120 square meters of lot space, enough for a garage and a small home garden. Its floor space is roughly 82 square meters, including the second floor, with 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms. This makes it perfect for medium-sized families.
 
Available Features And Amenities
 
You’d also like to get familiar with the perks of living within your chosen community. Not only does it allow you to make the most out of your money, it’s also a good way to avoid having to travel to far away places in order to fulfill a specific purpose. For instance, if you have a readily available function room or clubhouse in your neighborhood to celebrate a specific milestone for your family, you don’t have to go out into the city and spend hours in traffic in order to find one.
 
Amoa has amenities that you can take advantage of within its premises. If you want to teach your children how to play basketball or get involved in sports, Amoa has a basketball court that you can take them to. Need a quick dip in a swimming pool to destress from a long week’s worth of work? There’s a swimming pool that you can use close to the clubhouse. As mentioned earlier, if you need a place to celebrate a family milestone, the Amoa clubhouse is the perfect place to do so. Lastly, if you want to take a stroll and see some green to calm your nerves or just pass the time, you can do so in Amoa’s Grand Lawn, a sprawling area of plants and trees.
