Whether you’re an upstart young professional or someone who’s just about to start a family, looking for a home is a task every Filipino aspires to have. Leaving the nest, after all, is not only an indication that a person was raised to be a productive member of society, but also an independent soul who can branch out to make a difference in the world.
 
While it is true that hunting for the perfect home that will match your needs and preferences can be a little daunting – with so many factors to consider – building your future home should be an enjoyable and fulfilling process if done correctly.
 
Thus, we’ve listed a quick guide that will surely come in handy when you start finding your very own place.
 
Your Life Goal
 
It might seem a little cliche but you need to know (or at least have an idea) what you want to achieve or have in life. Your life goal will directly affect your decision of where you want to live. This is also mostly because, if you don’t plan on moving around a lot, your house, its size, location and other major factors associated with it are going to be indirectly affected by what motivates you.
 
Do you plan to have a family? It might make sense to get a house with multiple rooms and doors. Do you plan to just stay with your little fur babies instead? It might be sensible to check with your property managers if they have special facilities for pets. Do you want to have several investment properties for your portfolio and get passive income? You might want to consider the location of this property to make sure you’re getting more bang for your buck.
 
Whatever you plan to do in the long term directly affects your decision in what kind of home you want to get and where. While determining a life goal can be an arduous process, just having a long-term goal can help.
 
Your Home’s Location
 
In a nutshell, you’re going to want a house that can easily access your workplace, your children’s (if you have any) schools, a supermarket, and a hospital. Without stating the obvious, having these places within a few minutes away from your home is not only convenient but safe as well.
 
In terms of going to and from your workplace, it helps to have several options. This is so just in case one route is under repair or is almost always congested, you can opt for another. As an example, The Villages at Lipa is strategically located on the boundaries of Lipa and Malvar in the CALABARZON region. Given the case, you can easily access it through the SLEX, STAR Tollway, and J.P. Laurel National Highway. Though it is located outside of the Metro, it’s just an hour and a half-drive away, making it easy to run errands or attend to commitments.
 
That said, Lipa, being considered a new wave city because of the prominent growth of BPO and industry in it, has started to create several job opportunities. LIMA, dubbed as the next big thing in the South, is AboitizLand’s very own integrated economic center. With over 4 hectares of commercial lot inventory for sale, it’s slated to bring in more opportunities and lifestyle cultures than ever before.The LIMA Technology center itself being a massive contributor to its economic boom, Lipa is poised to not only bring more livelihood in the region, but have most of its investment values increase in the years to come.
 
You also want to choose a location that’s rapidly getting modernized and, ultimately, safe to be in. For instance, The Villages at Lipa, being new in Batangas, offers an integrated lifestyle within the township and the neighborhood itself, something that’s not really been seen outside of Metro Manila. Enriched with safe and inviting outdoor spaces right outside of the homes, the property offers owners the opportunity to experience a balance between nature and urbanity.
 
The Amenities Available
 
You’d also like your home to have amenities that complement your way of life. If you’re a runner, for example, you’d like to have long stretches of road or, at least, beautiful scenery to look at while you huff it out during your morning runs. If you’re a basketball fan and would love to teach your child how to play the game, it’ll be nice to have a basketball court just five minutes away from your home.
 
Given that The Villages at Lipa also puts importance on shared spaces of greens, outdoor enjoyment is very much feasible. You can enjoy fresh air, wide open spaces, and the like within the gated community. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a momentous milestone for your family, there’s the spacious Brook Village function room that you can use. If you want to take a nice relaxing dip to calm your tired soul after a long week of work, there are swimming pools in both the Brook and Sierra districts of the property you can take advantage of. There are also multipurpose courts that allow you to play whatever sport you’re familiar with or want to learn. This, plus the wide green spaces, encourage you to have a more active lifestyle, thereby benefiting you in the long run.
 
The Home’s Size And Floor Plan
 
It goes without saying that the home’s size and floor plan is an important part of searching for a good home. When it comes to size and floor plan, you have to consider who’s living with you and how big of a home you need to have a reasonable amount of space. You’ll also need to consider how many rooms a house has, not only for people but also for other functions like storing your beloved hobby items or as workplaces.
 
The Villages At Lipa has a wide selection of homes you can choose from, guaranteed to accommodate your needs. It boasts innovative house designs where varying needs and preferences of vecinos were kept in mind . If you plan to have a big family (or if you already have one), the Single Attached 150 unit has a lot and floor area of around 150 square meters sporting over 5 rooms. 3 bedrooms and 2 floors. If you want a smaller abode but a larger space to move around in lot-wise, the Single Attached Unit 65 has a lot area of around 104 square meters and a floor area of 65 square meters, containing 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 2 levels.
 
Finding a home for yourself can be a fulfilling experience especially if you already have a goal set in mind. All things considered, all these considerations are inherent in AboitizLand’s most recent property development in the South.
 
Found within the LIMA Estate, AboitizLand’s very own industrial city in Lipa and Malvar, Batangas, The Villages at Lipa is a fully integrated township that seeks to strengthen businesses and level up lifestyles.
