In the midst of a pandemic, there has been a shift in home preferences. The need for open areas and multi-purpose spaces grew, as shown in Lamudi’s trend report Indicators of Growth: Where to Invest in 2021.
While these changes can be attributed to work-from-home schemes and online classes, they also reflect homebuyers’ desire for bigger spaces that bring comfort and tranquility. In line with this, suburban areas are now getting more attention from homebuyers.Â
Bulacan is one of the promising locations for a home outside the metro. Its suburban charm is irresistible: more greens, fewer people and cars, and spacious housing options. Location-wise, it will take you away from the metro’s frenzy but not from the necessities.
If you’re among those property seekers looking for suburban serenity, living in Bulacan is for you. Here are other reasons that may compel you to make the move:Â
More Than a Cultural Destination
Dubbed as the land of heroes, Bulacan is widely known for its historical sights in the form of old churches and shrines. But aside from being a hotspot for Filipino culture, the province is also home to must-visit attractions for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Bulacan is dotted with majestic falls and scenic mountain trails, many of which are located in Doña Remedios Trinidad, also known as Bulacan’s Last Frontier.Â
For the perfect blend of serenity and convenience, Santa Maria in Bulacan is one of the areas worth looking into. It’s traversed by major roads such as the Norzagaray-Santa Maria Road and Santa Maria Bypass Road. The former connects the municipality to prominent adventure parks, while the latter leads to shopping centers, healthcare facilities, and other essential establishments.
The Catchment Area of Metro Manila’s Prosperity
Bulacan is also known as the closest neighbor of Metro Manila and is the first province that will greet you when traveling down the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX). Such proximity is among the reasons why Metro Manila infrastructure projects are benefitting the province too.
For instance, the Metro Manila Skyway now connects South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) to NLEX, making Bulacan even more accessible to urbanites. Metro Manila Rail Transit Line 7 will also provide fast access to the province as it links North Avenue, Quezon City to San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.Â
Meanwhile, the province has its own projects set to increase local economic activities. These include the soon-to-rise 400-hectare Bulacan Mega City, which will create 100,000 jobs for the residents and host call centers, manufacturing firms, and retail outlets. The province will also have an international airport that can accommodate up to 100 million passengers annually and will be connected to two major expressways for utmost convenience.
All these developments indicate that investing in Bulacan properties would be well worth the money. Location-wise, it will soon offer the sheer convenience that’s on par with Metro Manila’s. This can also mean fast price appreciation properties in the province. The best part? Bulacan is set to retain its distinct suburban charm through nature-inspired residential communities.Â
The Eco-Friendly Suburbia of Bulacan
Rising soon is the greenery-filled community of North Orchard Residences in Santa Maria, Bulacan. Merging lush landscapes with spacious homes, this development by Solar Resources, Inc. aims to accommodate the need for that extra space and a home close to nature. For a superior living experience, the community also presents a host of recreational amenities, including a clubhouse, swimming pool, and expansive open spaces where you can marvel at nature’s views.
Looking into the development’s unit offerings, future residents will find that they reflect the community’s relaxed ambiance. There’s ample room for rest and recreation, or perhaps to extend the family in the future. North Orchard Residences will be offering three-bedroom single-attached houses with a two-car garage, a porch and lawn, and a service area.Â
Retained access to Metro Manila is guaranteed as the development is accessible via NLEX and Bocaue Exit. It will also have its own park, chapel, and commercial center for added convenience.
Developers like Solar Resources understand how valuable properties are outside the metro, particularly those that form part of the Greater Manila Area. It’s in these places where a life of peace and ease begins. And at North Orchard Residences, you can always have the suburban serenity without worrying about accessibility.Â
