Many urbanites dream of living in a suburban community to get away from the noise and stress of the city life. But the thing is, these communities are usually developed outside the main metropolis, which could make accessibility a major relocation issue.
To address this concern, there is a growth in development of exclusive gated neighborhoods: residential communities that offers the best of suburban living along with the conveniences of city life.
1. You get peace of mind 24/7.
With services such as 24-hour security, a guarded main gate, and a theft-deterring perimeter fence, private gated neighborhoods ensure the safety and convenience of its residents. Vehicular traffic within the neighborhood is controlled. Moreover, parents are more confident in letting their kids play freely outdoors and explore.
2. City comforts are just beyond the gate.
Exclusive gated communities are strategically built and developed near major thoroughfares. This makes it easy for residents to drive (or commute) to and from work or run errands.
Mahogany Place 3 by developer VConsunji Inc, for instance, offer easy access to main roads such as C-5, East and West Service Roads, Skyway, and South Luzon Expressway (SLEX).
Located in Acacia Estates, Taguig, this townhouse development is under 30 minutes away from the nearest local and international airport, major commercial business districts, the best schools, and key leisure destinations.
3. Property units in exclusive gated neighborhoods have more space as compared to other vertical developments.
The rows of townhouses at Mahogany Place 3, a low density, Asian-themed gated neighborhood, were designed to address the home seeker’s need for extra living space in the city.
Unit sizes range from 180 to 272 sqm. Moreover, these units were meticulously planned to maximize unit space.
Mahogany 3’s 105 sq m townhouse unit called the Milla Townhouse, for example, comes in with the following living spaces:
- Three (3) bedrooms;
- A walk in closet;
- Three (3) full bathrooms;
- Open plan living, kitchen, and dining areas;
- A family room on the 2nd floor;
- A den/library on the 3rd floor;
- 2nd and 3rd -floor balconies;
- A service kitchen;
- Service quarters;
- An optional roof deck;
- Garden space (on select units);
- A 3-vehicle car port.
Now that’s a steal for a starter to growing families who wish to remain in the city.
Once they step outside of this townhouse unit, homeseekers can enjoy a suburban environment that’s worthy to call home: spacious, tree-lined, pedestrian-friendly avenues, and sprawling landscaped parks.
4. Indoor and outdoor amenities allow you to truly enjoy life at home.
Exclusive gated neighborhoods are designed with amenities that allow residents to enjoy and truly relax, especially during weekends.
Mahogany Place 3’s country club-style amenities include adult and kiddie pools, poolside dining, picnic grove, playground, sandbox, basketball court, tennis court, a landscaped ampitheater with plaza, sauna, mini mart, dance studio, game room, gym, refreshment area, lounge area, and view deck.
5. Because they are close to key urban locations like central business districts (CBDs), they will most likely have higher property appreciation.
Experienced real estate investors understand that a property may continue to lose value over time until it no longer adds value to the land, or even reduces its value. This is because it is the land, and not the property, that appreciates in value over time.
But if the residential development built by a reputable developer who understands how to maximize the value of the land, and the property it builds on it, overall return of capital improves over time and can be used to create significant wealth (or rent/mortgage savings) for you and your family in the later future.
