- April 4, 2024
Let’s say you are finally moving into your own condominium unit, and you’ve chosen wisely and rightly with ArcoVia Palazzo’s Altea Tower; what’s next? Well, these three tips for condo living in the Philippines may significantly help.
Indeed, you landed in ArcoVia City for good reasons. It’s a master-planned township where Megaworld’s live-work-play-learn concept is set to improve the convenience and quality of your life. A 12.3-hectare development will feature residential condominiums alongside retail hubs, state-of-the-art office buildings, and carefully curated and manicured lush landscapes. Best of all, it’s 15 minutes away from the best business districts in the metro – Makati, Bonifacio Global City, and Ortigas Center.
A closer look at ArcoVia Palazzo and your senses and tastes will be delighted by features including an adult infinity pool, kiddie pool, jacuzzi, children’s playground, multipurpose lawns, and function rooms, game room, fitness center, and even a daycare center! It’s the perfect secured, exclusive, resort-inspired community accessible even to hospitals and schools.
So, how do you make the most of it? Here are three tips for condo living in the Philippines.
1. Know the life you wish to live
This may sound crazy at first but give it another thought!
If you’re a young adult, career-oriented, looking to build your own business and delve into entrepreneurship outside of your day job, you might be looking to live in a unit following a home office theme. But if you want to make a home completely without anything business, this will matter in your design.
Are you the person who likes to do chores at home? Are you domesticated enough to cook and do the laundry? Be honest! You don’t need to allocate space for cooking, dining, laundering, and
ironing clothes if you will later end up getting these services outside.
Do you like entertaining guests at home? If so, how will you maximize your available space to accommodate family and friends from time to time? It might be good to lean towards a day bed, sofa bed or trundle bed for your studio.
As crazy as it may have sounded initially, this tip may arguably be the best tip for condo living in the Philippines or anywhere else in the world!
Imagine if there was any chance in your near future you’d start a young family in this condominium unit? That changes everything all together!
2. Know your unit to a tee
The second but almost equally important tip for condo living in the Philippines is knowing your unit layout and amenities to a tee. And for that, we recommend knowing everything about your unit, down to floor area measurements. No, you don’t need to memorize these things, but make sure you have them handy and accessible. Save photos and plans on your phone so they are readily available for your reference.
The ArcoVia Palazzo showcases two towers: the Altea, which runs
up to 40 levels, and the Benissa at 45 levels. These towers will have units ranging from studios, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 2-bedroom bi-levels, 3-bedroom, and 3-bedroom penthouse with others including a balcony.
The lifestyle you wish to live as you move into your Altea unit (tip number 1) and knowing the unit’s features and floor plan are critical to designing, interior decorating, and furnishing your new home. The last thing you want to do is purchase home appliances and fixtures that are either too big or too small for the area you envisioned for them. You don’t want the hassle of returning and exchanging purchases. Or worse, having to sell off at a lower price before you can get the correct one.
ArcoVia Palazzo will provide enough space for leisure, health, and fitness. There might be no need for a stationary bicycle in your room or balcony!
3. Plan for today as much as the future
The last tip for now that we have for your condo living in the Philippines – is to never lose sight of the future.
It’s very easy to design and furnish your unit with the end in view of supporting your current lifestyle. But this unit will be a significant addition to your assets. You can live in it today and rent it out in the future. You can amortize it on loan today and later start to bring you rental fees. For sure, it is likely to increase your net worth along with the increasing value of properties located in strategic areas.
A one-bedroom unit may be a lot of space for just you today. But if
you see yourself in the same unit with a partner in the future, it won’t hurt to consider storage and provisions for two people rather than one.
In any case, congratulations on finally moving into ArcoVia Palazzo. Enjoy your wonderful new home!
