We all dream of having a refuge, a home we can retreat to after a hard week’s work, a sanctuary we can escape to in order to have a break from the noise and crowds of highly urbanized cities.
For some, investing in a piece of property in the outskirts of the city or in his or her hometown is more appealing than getting one in the heart of bustling Metro Manila.
Add this to the government’s move to decentralize and push development outside the metro and “unlock land values in areas outside of Metro Manila and stimulate business activities in the countryside.”
The towns of Cainta in Rizal, Paniqui in Tarlac, and Urdaneta in Pangasinan are all progressive municipalities but still exude that quaint suburban charm that may serve your residential needs.
Sta. Lucia Land Inc. (SLLI), one of the country’s long-standing and trusted property developers, presents housing projects in these areas which do not only promise comfortable day-to-day living but also a haven where one can breathe some fresh air and take a much needed respite and downtime.
