Postpandemic Home Choices

Digital nomads have proven over the pandemic that the impossible is possible. They are evidence that one can do well with their jobs even outside their workplace, outside hectic cities and in laidback paradise.

Their stories have instigated a paradigm shift in homebuying. Indeed, if they can, why can’t we base ourselves outside the capitals and work hard while enjoying life?

Envisioning that kind of life for yourself? Sta. Lucia has many offerings among its 250-plus developments nationwide awaiting your investment. The brand assures quality onsite development and reliable security, as well as superb themes and amenities.

Zambales

With Central Luzon becoming more and more accessible thanks to infrastructure projects, Zambales is no longer that far from the metro.

In the province’s portion of Subic, the trusted developer has exclusive villages awaiting at Club Morocco Resort and Country Club. Enjoy your luxurious beachside address fusing traditional Filipino expertise and Moroccan-inspired culture, i.e., rich Arabic, French and Spanish influences. Inside the resort, you get access to a luxe beach club and a lineup of aqua sports activities. You can even host meetings, seminars and social banquets for visiting workmates. It’s less than three hours from Manila and 30 minutes away from SBMA.

Batangas

Down south, in the renowned resort town of Nasugbu, Batangas, Yanarra Seaside Residences invites the adventurous set.

Experience the soothing blues and greens of nature while you comfortably lounge at home or in the European-style clubhouse. If you seek other experiences, coves, peaks and other tourist go-tos are all around for you to conquer. Already, Batangas and nearby Cavite pulsate with dynamism that one can take advantage of but, if you need to get to Metro Manila, it’s a swift two hours away.

Benguet

You may have seen your social media feed flooded by photos of people that went to Baguio to experience that unique upland chill.

If you want that experience to last longer for yourself and your loved ones, why not reside there? Consider Sta. Lucia’s The Pinewoods development. Embracing the history of the nation’s summer capital, the masterplanned estate features American-colonial architecture. Homeowners also enjoy the clubhouse, open areas and courts. Lest you forget, the whole of Baguio, the Cordillera region and the rest of the northern Philippines await discovering.

Laguna

Don’t you forget Laguna and its diverse opportunities to live, work and play.

In the nature-rich Los Baños, known for its access to Mt. Makiling and its hot springs, you can invest in one of the residential lots at Spring Oaks Residences located along the National Highway. This should be a perfect place for tree-huggers, enterprising individuals, people always out for new experiences and even households with students–given that a UP campus is near. Hang out at the clubhouse with a swimming pool, play at the basketball court and bask in the priceless clime.

So much is possible. Why go back to old ways when the new normal is better?
