If you are living in the city and in the
market looking to buy a place that you can call your home, you probably have
noticed by now that there is only one option for you if you are to put your
hard-earned money into a real estate investment. That seemingly mono-dimensional
option I yapped about earlier is guess what, condo developments. I might be
exaggerating it to a tad bit hyperbolic degree when I said that real estate
choices these days are unidirectional and funnels down to condominium
developments but there are smithereens of verisimilitude in that statement. I
mean when was the last time you were offered a real housing development at the
mall? It has been a while right? Most of the flyers real estate folks are
handing out nowadays are all promoting condos. But don’t fret. That does not
mean that your dream of owning a house and lot (Yeah that’s right, I am talking
about a real ornate concrete box sitting on a small piece of god’s green earth)
is no longer in the pipe line because there is a new real estate development located
on the outskirts of Metro Manila that is only 15 minutes away from The SM Mall
of Asia to give you a more concrete concept of how close it is to the city. It
is aptly called the Lancaster New City because it offers a lifestyle and
environment that channels the English countryside like its namesake The City of
Lancaster in the district of Lancashire in England. If you are old school like
me when it comes down to hooking yourself up with a real estate property then the
Lancaster New City is hands down definitely made for you. Recently, me and a
bunch of like-minded investment dabblers came down to the land of Lancaster New
City to find out what it can offer, if it is capable of measuring up to other quality
real estate developments and see if the company back its claims up in Profriends. So here goes the
tripping report:
Travel time from the CBD – our agent was
accommodating enough to pick us up at a location near our office in Makati. We
all agreed to wait for the white van at a Starbucks Coffee Waltermart branch.
The guy on the steering wheel took us there via the scenic Manila-Cavite
Expressway or Cavitex as it is popularly known. The travel time devoured at
least 30 minutes inclusive of the usual traffic stops that we encountered before
we entered the toll plaza. Not bad at all.
House model options – There is definitely a
plenitude of house model choices in Lancaster New City. The current number of
options is nine house models with prices ranging from 870k to 2.7M. That means
there is going to be something for everyone depending on their financial
capacities.
Amenities – Lancaster New City offers the
standard fare of premium amenities that you could find in upscale developments
plus there’s more… they also have the Suntech iPark, the first I.T park in
Cavite that will cater to BPO companies. This is great news for me and my
colleagues that have been yearning for a workplace that is just a hop, skip and
jump away from home. Another notable amenity is the Lancaster Square Mall that offers
a shopping center, a supermarket and an events center slated to be the next
shopping destination for families in the community and surrounding areas.
We had an overall excellent impression of
the city. It is a complete development at prices that can’t be beat. I am now
halfway through the down payment on my Haven unit and I can’t wait for
Profriends to tell me to move in.
