Living it up north

Provinces north of Manila have always been a favorite destination of those looking for a reprieve from the busy metropolis.

Whether one’s in search of some mouthwatering cuisine, good waves to surf, unspoilt nature trails to trek or some quick outdoor adventure, the north has it—and one can easily drive up north for some much-needed rest and relaxation.

The Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) and the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEx) have made towns in Central and North Luzon more accessible than ever, even making the choice of living up north appealing.

As for modern conveniences such as commercial establishments, retail shops and restaurants as well as educational and medical institutions, the north is not left behind either.

It is no surprise that many are seeking to set up residence here. One of the country’s longtime property developers, Sta. Lucia Land Inc. (SLLI) brings to the forefront two communities for those who are considering calling the north their home.
