BUYING a home is one of the most significant financial decisions every individual will ever make. And the importance of location cannot be overemphasized in this matter. In fact, the “buzzwordy” catchphrase in real estate to stress its importance — “Location, location, location” — never goes out of style, reminding home buyers that they can make a house revamp anytime but can’t change a bad location again and again.
Location is not only about the address. It represents the community, infrastructure, developments, and the people residing in the area. This is why it is highly important to keep these factors in mind before purchasing a property.
According to online property marketplace Lamudi, home buyers — in addition to amenities that a property entails — should also consider a location close to hospitals and markets, as well as schools and workplaces of the family members.
Residences with all such features are usually located in highly developed cities in the country, and Quezon City is one of these. Over the years, the city, according to Lamudi, has responded well to the environmental challenges of urban development alongside strict security measures.
It is no secret that Quezon City is a home to some of the country’s leading academic institutions, hospitals, health and wellness facilities, ecological and public parks, and diverse religious sites. It is also a haven for shopaholics, food lovers, bar-hoppers, and night owls with its wide variety of shopping malls, shops and restaurants.
In terms of accessibility, Quezon City features major highways, thoroughfares, and tertiary roads, while more infrastructure projects are under way. Aside from the Manila Metro Rail Transit System Line 7 (MRT-7), which will run from North Avenue in Quezon City to San Jose del Monte in Bulacan, the construction of the Metro Manila Subway Project is ongoing.
According to Colliers International Philippines, Quezon City will greatly benefit from the planned subway as seven of the 13 stations will be developed within the city. It is expecting residential land values around the stations rising by at least two-fold while commercial land values by at least three-fold from the start of construction to full operation of the subway.
Offering a gateway to the ever-increasing opportunities that Quezon City presents is Suntrust Asmara. With its fresh take on modern living, Asmara — an Indonesian word that means “love” — is set to be a wonderful enclave that will give its future occupants the comforts and conveniences of a home amid urban jungle.
