Profriend: Lancaster New City- A complete city

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.
