In the past, neighborhoods were just homes in rows or clusters. Traditional developments like subdivisions often give little consideration to offering even the most basic amenities and establishments. As such, homeowners are forced to go out of their way to accomplish errands like paying utility bills, walking the dog, shop for groceries, and buying medicine (or baby milk) from the drugstore.
In the last few years, developments in real estate has helped neighborhoods to evolve into master planned communities. We list down some basic elements in a master planned community that has made it an ideal home, most specifically to families:
1. Space
A master planned community has the luxury of space both inside and outside the home, which is often lacking, and hotly safeguarded by homeowners, in traditional subdivisions.
Ara Vista Village, for instance, is a community nestled in a 50-hectare property in General Trias, Cavite. The development was led by renowned architect Felino Palafox of Palafox Associates, a multi-disciplinary firm which specializes in architecture, urban planning, town planning, site planning, engineering, and interior design.
32 hectares of it have been earmarked for residential developments. With 2 and 3-bedroom houses to choose from, residents can confidently entertain extra guests without feeling too cramped, or not get compelled to making additional renovations to accommodate their growing families.
The remaining 18 hectares will be for the community’s commercial component, which also includes wide,open spaces for children to explore and play.
2. Security
A master planned community has perimeter walls, a gate, and 24-hour security. And because it is nestled within the confines of a Philippine Economic Zone authority, homeowners are assured of both their home and community security.
Ara Vista Village by AMA Communities is a gated community with 24-hour security.
3. Quality and Style
A master planned community is conceptualized by an expert with years of experience in the industry; potential buyers can be assured that no detail has been left to chance and that all elements complement one another.
What’s more, all houses in Ara Vista Village are in the timeless Georgian architectural style, built with materials that can withstand the country’s tropical climate (humidity and storm flooding).

4. Family-friendly amenities
A master planned community cares for its residents, and it shows with the number of establishments and amenities it has.
Aside from a swimming pool, tennis courts, and basketball courts, Ara Vista Village will also have play grounds, chapel, function rooms for parties, and even its own theme park.
5. Business opportunities
A master planned community will inspire residents to pursue their dreams towards a fulfilled, well-rounded life without needing to leave their families behind.
Ara Vista Village is nearby Cavite Export Processing Zone, First Cavite Industrial Estate, and Gateway Business Park (Silicon Valley), notable business developments perfect for homeowners who seek jobs or shophouses to start a business close to home.
6. Learning centers
In a master planned community, residents have the advantage of easy access to quality educational institutions.
Aside from being in close proximity to schools like the De La Salle Health Sciences Institute and Lyceum of the Philippines Cavite, Ara Vista Village will host the state-of-the-art flagship campus of the AMA IT School.
7. Tech Infrastructure
In this day and age, staying in touch with the rest of the world is so easy. As such, it is essential for a master planned community to have the infrastructure in place to support connectivity.
For a residential development who champions technology, it was only natural for the developers of Ara Vista Village to equip the community with WiFi connectivity to the Internet.
