Welcome to our blog! Today, we’re exploring how to choose the perfect subdivision where you can truly feel at home for years to come. Many first-time homebuyers focus only on the house itself and overlook the importance of the surrounding subdivision. However, selecting the right neighborhood is crucial for your happiness and can significantly enhance your home's value and comfort.

Take a look at this subdivision project. What are the remarkable features of this subdivision project?

Let’s dive into what makes this subdivision a great choice and why it could be your ideal new home:


1. Solid Concrete Perimeter Fence

2. Entrance with Gate and Guardhouse

Enhanced security: A well-guarded entrance ensures that only authorized individuals can access the community, reducing concerns about security and giving you peace of mind.


3. Underground Electrical Wires

Aesthetic and safety benefits: Hidden electrical wires contribute to a cleaner, safer environment. This thoughtful design reduces hazards and enhances the visual appeal of your neighborhood, making your living experience more pleasant.


4. Reliable Water Supply

8. Generously Spaced Homes

Comfort and privacy: With ample space between homes, you’ll enjoy greater privacy and a more relaxed living environment. This layout reduces overcrowding, making for a more comfortable and satisfying home life.


In summary: This subdivision offers thoughtfully designed single-detached homes starting around P8 million, reflecting quality and comfort that will enhance your lifestyle.


Consider this real-life example: 

A foreign national once regretted purchasing a large home in southern Cebu due to noise from neighbors. His disappointment highlights the importance of choosing a subdivision that meets your needs and prevents such regrets. By carefully selecting the right subdivision, you can avoid similar frustrations and enjoy a home that truly meets your expectations. Breathing space is vital. Choosing a subdivision with ample spacing ensures that you avoid the discomfort of living too close to neighbors, enhancing your overall living experience.


Subdivision development adheres to strict standards under the Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations for PD 957 (2009). These regulations protect your investment and ensure a high-quality living environment. By choosing a subdivision that follows these standards, you minimize the risk of future issues and enjoy the benefits of a well-regulated development.


Avoid buyer’s remorse by taking proactive steps: Request the License to Sell (LTS) and visit the site to inspect actual units. These actions help you make a well-informed decision and avoid potential disappointments.


1. QUALITY CONSTRUCTION


When visiting a subdivision, assess construction quality. Look for signs of poor workmanship and verify the License to Sell (LTS) to ensure the property meets high standards. This approach helps you avoid future issues and ensures a home that will stand the test of time.


2. DESIGN AND SPACE PLANNING


Evaluate the floor plan and design to ensure they meet your needs. Well-planned spaces enhance comfort and functionality, making daily life more enjoyable and minimizing the risk of future inconveniences.



2 STORY SINGLE ATTACHED Floor area: 53 sqm Lot area: 142 sqm

Price: P5M Reservation: P40,000 Equity: P59,271/month for 12 months Home loan: P 29,674/month for 20 years


Visit the house or its model house to see how the developer wisely used the space. Imagine what you can do when you start occupying the house: type of furniture and appliances, home decor, etc., and where to put them to optimize the living space in your home.


3. LOW-DENSITY SUBDIVISION

Assess the density of the housing project. A low-density layout reduces the risk of feeling cramped and enhances privacy. Choose a subdivision with ample space between homes for a more relaxed and pleasant living environment.


In Lapu-lapu City, Breeza Scapes subdivision has a low density with only 50 homes for 1.05 hectares. You can own this beautiful quality for as low as P34k per month.


The good subdivision must not be crowded. At least 30% of the subdivision, as required by law, is allocated to open spaces or non-saleable areas for community basic utilities and facilities.


4. SAFETY AND SECURITY

Check the safety features and local crime rates to ensure a secure living environment. Comprehensive security measures and low crime rates provide peace of mind, reducing concerns about safety and enhancing your overall comfort.


5. SUBDIVISION AMENITIES

Consider the amenities and facilities offered. While amenities add value and enhance your lifestyle, be aware of any additional costs. Evaluate how these amenities align with your preferences and budget to make an informed decision.


6. LOCATION

Evaluate the location’s convenience and accessibility. A well-located subdivision ensures easy access to essential services and public transport, making daily life more efficient and enjoyable.


When it comes to location, the Amberley subdivision in Kalawisan, Lapulapu City is strategically positioned. Believe it or not, this subdivision -- a few meters from the national circumferential road -- is one ride thru PUJ to Mactan Cebu International Airport (Drop by Mactan Marina Mall) and Mactan Export Processing Zone 1 and thru V-Hire to SM City Mall and Ayala Center Mall. This is also close to the Cebu Cordoval Link Expressway (CCLEX) where you can go to Cebu City in less than 15 minutes of travel time. You can get this townhouse for as low as P9,200/month thru Pag-Ibig Housing Loan.


In conclusion, choosing the right subdivision involves careful consideration of its features, design, and amenities. By focusing on these aspects, you can find a home that meets your needs and enriches your lifestyle.
