City life has become the best choice when it comes to deciding where to settle down. More and more cities in Metro Manila and nearby provinces are aiming to provide quality condo living to families and young professionals. But when we say “city life” or “condo living”, it immediately brings to mind the images of tall buildings in the middle of a busy urban area.

These are what we call high-rise residential condominiums. It has lobbies, secured access, and elevators. Higher floors offer nice city views and entrances to the units are found along the hallways. Of course, due to the building maintenance requirements of high-rise condos, the investment is also quite high.

So, what if families and professional individuals want to experience the city life without having to live in a high-rise building? Here is where the mid-rise and low-rise condos come in.
Good Investment Choice
In this day and age, buying a house and lot in urban areas is not considered a practical choice anymore since you will be required to let go of huge amounts of money for all the processes involved in acquiring one. So when it comes to real estate investment, families and young professionals prefer a good condo unit that will help them save a lot in terms of time and resources. Condo living is now considered more efficient and valuable.
But it doesn’t necessarily mean that condos have to be like sky-scrapers in the middle of the bustling city. There are a lot of mid-rise and low-rise condo units that provide the same feel without having to live far above the ground.
Mid-rise condos are usually four to six stories high, while low-rise buildings are more like townhouses with entrances from the outside. These are actually the options when it comes to choosing a condo in the Philippines. You just have to choose what’s best for you and your loved-ones, and where you will put your investment.

Strategic Location Within The City
Mid-rise and low-rise condos are still within the city, but not in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the industrial and business areas. Real estate developers usually build these types of condos along city borders that are easily accessible.
Just like Verawood Residences which is strategically located in Taguig City. It has easy access to the Makati Central Business District and Bonifacio Global City.

Choose Between City and Suburban
Mid-rise and low-rise residential condominiums will not let you experience the fear of heights, the hassle of taking the slow elevator, or the lack of open spaces for outdoor activities. Aside from those conveniences, another benefit of choosing these types of condos is the freedom to choose between living in the city or in suburban areas.
Real estate developers are also expanding in terms of building condos in the Philippines. Not only are condos available in the National Capital Region, they are also found in nearby provincial areas like Laguna, Rizal, Pampanga, and Pangasinan, among others.
