A coastal province south of Metro Manila, Cavite prides itself of its historical landmarks and colorful past. Yet, Cavite is more than just a heritage site and tourist destination as it is also home to families and individuals seeking a relaxing hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the hurried metropolitan way of living.
“Cavite is the perfect combination of carefree and cosmopiltan provencal living. If you want a home in a peaceful but progressive community, you can always find one in any of our residential projects,” shared Tess Tatco, marketing head for Avida,
A short drive from all of life's necessities, through the beautifully-paved Daang Hari highway, Avida properties sit on acreage of land filled with generous, beautifully-landscaped open spaces surrounded by greenery.
The realty company's four residential projects in Cavite are all located along the bustling Molino-Paliparan Road. These include the parfait-colored American-themed dollhouses of Avida Settings Cavite that's integrated on 1.8 hectares of green recreational space; the Mediterranean-inspired units of Avida Residences Dasmarinas with its preserved sloping terrain and courtyard system that encourages interaction among neighbors; the Zen-driven confines of Avida Village Sta. Catalina that's built on a lush 15-hectare project featuring key amenity areas and row houses called the Isabella Townhomes; as well as the plush Continental persuasions of Avida Residences Santa Catalina that's nestled in an enclave flourishing with trees and plagrounds where kids and adults share bonding moments.
Aside from well-designed and affordable units, homeowners also like the safe and secure environment intrinsic to all Avida communities. All properties have round-the-clock security and perimeter fences equipped with CCTV cameras.
“With our commitment to service and maintenance, homeowners are assured that their dream houses are well-planned, well-constructed and well-maintained,” Tatco added.
On the other hand, Avida Towers Alabang, one of its newest condominium projects, is now gaining momentum after the recent launch of its second tower. “There may be a number of condominiums and housing developments in Alabang that were established before us but surprisingly a lot of people show interest in this residential project,” informed Dez Cruz, head of residential buildings.
Future residents of Avida Towers Alabang will also not miss out on leisure and relaxing activities as it is not far from the attractions of Southern Luzon such as the cataracts and springs of Laguna and the scenic lake spots of Tagaytay.
“Because of its strategic location, residents will have less time on the road combatting traffic, and more time with their familiy, hobbies and other pasttimes that they enjoy,” Cruz continued.
Avida Towers Alabang makes the upscale lifestyle of the famed location more affordable for the prime location it offers as well as the quality of the development it gives.
Being an Ayala development project, buyers may also avail of Avida's stretched down payment scheme wherein units are sold for as low as P13,400 a month. The developer's affiliate company, Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), also offers a special housing loan promotional rate of 8.75 percent fixed for five years for applications received beginning this March up until the end of May.
“Avida Towers Alabang is definitely an affordable housing option for couples who are starting to build a family, young professionals and upwardly mobile individuals,” Cruz concluded.
Avida Settings Cavite launched its second phase and grand amenity area simultaneously with its Alabang project, albeit in two different venues. Avida Towers Alabang launched its second tower at the Cortes de las Palmas activity area in Alabang Town Center.
