Local and foreign tourists wanting a quick and budget-friendly getaway have always had Los Baños in Laguna in their radar.
This quaint yet fast-developing town located 63 km southeast of Manila is a favorite among friends and families who want to unwind and get some bonding time without breaking the bank.
Progressive resort town
The first class municipality is home to quite a number of hot spring resorts, thanks to its proximity to the mythical Mount Makiling, the source of its thermal waters. But don’t let Los Baños’ laidback charm fool you, as this lakeside town was proclaimed Special Science and Nature City of the Philippines because of its importance in academics, science and research.
Ongoing and planned infrastructure projects including the proposed PNR South Commuter or the North-South Railway Project (NSRP)-South Line that will run along Tutuban in Manila and Los Baños will further make it easier for those in Metro Manila and nearby southern Luzon provinces like Quezon, Cavite, Batangas and Bicol to travel to and from Los Baños.
And with everything it has going for it, Los Baños has since attracted many businesses and investors, including a number of real estate developers, banking on its appeal as a progressive resort town. Among them is trusted developer Sta. Lucia Land Inc.
Expansion
The latest residential offering from Sta. Lucia comes in the form of Spring Oaks Residences, the brand new expansion of Lakewood Residential Estates in Los Baños. Through this 17.7-ha development, Sta. Lucia is giving homebuyers the option to invest in and build their dream home right on this naturally abundant resort town.
Spring Oaks Residences has more than 500 residential lots on offer and another 10 commercial areas for those wanting to do business within this masterplanned community.
For both residents and tenants, Spring Oaks promises a scenic view of magical Mount Makiling and guarantees its future residents of sound infrastructure and constant security. And to give its residents added value, the carefully planned community will also feature a main clubhouse and swimming pool, open tennis court, open basketball court and children’s playground.
Residents are likewise assured of a perimeter fence for security and privacy, a centralized interrelated water system, underground storm drainage system and electrical facilities.
Given its unique value proposition, well thought out amenities, premium location, and the fact that it is being developed by one of the country’s trusted developers, it is without doubt that Spring Oaks should remain on the radar of many investors and homebuyers.
To get there: Spring Oaks Residences lies on the cusp of Calamba and Los Baños and located in Brgy. Lalakay. Take the Calamba exit coming from the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx). Once you reach SM Crossing Calamba, take a right turn. You may keep going straight until you reach the Lakewood sign beside Max’s Chicken.
