Vertical living is typically associated with the fun, young, and single. Unsurprisingly, though, more and more people nowadays are looking into raising a family or starting one in condominiums.

Whether you are already married with kids, or you’re just thinking ahead, it is of utmost importance to make sure your living spaces cater to the needs of every member of your household. Here are a few things to consider:

1.24/7 security

This is one of the first things you must consider when buying a property. Security services will not only guarantee your safety, but they will, more importantly, give you peace of mind that you, your loved ones, and your hard-earned belongings are protected.

2.Fit-for-purpose living spaces

The great thing about condominiums is the way it makes use of compact living spaces in such smart, thoughtfully-planned ways. To make this possible, therefore, you will need efficiently laid out units that give you the freedom to design your home as your lifestyle calls for it.

Perhaps make one corner a place where you can play and bond with your baby, or convert an area for a work-from-home set-up if the job still calls for it.

3.All-encompassing social spaces

Multi-purpose courts, children’s playgrounds, clubhouses, and swimming pools — what these things have in common is that they are not just recreation opportunities, but rather, social avenues. They’re great spaces to build strong positive values in your kids, make the fondest of memories, get to know the neighbors, or celebrate life’s milestones.

Given that most condominiums nowadays have a swimming pool, take it up a notch and look for one with multiple pools. This way, you not only get that distinctive resort-living quality to your day-to-day life. You’re also ascertained that overcrowding will not be a problem, even on the weekends when most of your neighbors are also unwinding.

4.Gardens and stroll paths

Condominiums may be synonymous with more compact living spaces, but it doesn’t have to mean fewer open spaces and green areas.

Having outdoor amenities such as linear parks and stroll paths inspire you to leave your gadgets at home for a bit and to lead a healthier lifestyle through various physical activities which you now have the space to explore.

5.A hotel-like lobby that still feels like home

You may not think about it much, but the lobby will play an important role in your life for the rest of your stay on the property. What truly sets a lobby apart is if it comes not just with generous spaces and quality furniture, but rather, a hotel-like ambiance and a friendly staff dedicated to making you feel at home.

6.Well-integrated lifestyle

The most important thing to consider in a home is whether or not it’s built to last. Known for its steadfast commitment to building and taking care of sustainable communities, SM Development Corporation (SMDC) is at the forefront of providing homes where Filipino families can grow and build their roots in.

Let’s take Trees Residences, a gated community nestled in the heart of the Novaliches, Quezon City.

There’s a commercial strip right within the community, and SM City Fairview is close by, which makes your home life even more luxurious. Not only does such a well-integrated community promote walkability, but it also allows you to be stewards of the earth with a low-carbon footprint lifestyle.

The best part? It’s a ready-for-occupancy development, too, which means you can move in instantly, and enjoy all these immediately.

7.Purposeful investments, at the right time and the right place

Promising possibilities are expected for the country’s real estate sector this year as the economy makes its way to recovery. Real estate experts, Santos Knight Frank and Colliers Philippines are positive that rents and property prices are to recover in the next 12 months.

It is, therefore, an opportune time to invest in Trees Residences. The property has its property management team that ensures the kind of upkeep that commands capital appreciation and passive income.
