The provinces located north of Metro Manila have long been the go-to vacation destinations of city dwellers. The nature hotspots of Baguio, the breathtaking beaches of Aurora, and the sacred landmarks of Bulacan attract travelers who seek a refreshing recreation, a break from the hustle and bustle of the big metropolis. Amid the pandemic, these hotspots have been redefined, shifting from being the best travel destinations to ideal residential locations.
As the global health crisis brought uncertainty and distress, many people are reconsidering where to live. Some prefer moving up north to experience the peace and quiet brought by the region’s cool air, nature-oriented spaces, and serene atmosphere.
According to Lamudi data, the Bulacan property market, for one, enjoys a strong demand for houses. In this location, you’ll find suburban neighborhoods that make your peaceful lifestyle even better. Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) returning to the country for good especially benefit from these, as the communities in Bulacan make for the ideal environment for retirement.
A Location That Lets You Do More in Less Time
Most people, especially OFWs, choose to settle in areas outside Metro Manila because of the simplicity of the lifestyle they can embrace. They can simply bike to the nearest public market or drive a few minutes to the shopping mall. In most places, there are no traffic jams to worry about. The people are in no hurry precisely because they have plenty of time. This sense of having control over when to do things while being able to slow down is the rare luxury residents in the North are able to experience.
In one of the modern neighborhoods in Bulacan, North Orchard Residences developed by Solar Resources, essential establishments are easily accessible. Retail centers, such as Waltermart Sta. Maria and Puregold Sta. Maria, are only a few minutes away from the residence. Vista Mall Sta. Maria is reachable within 15 minutes.
With everything within reach, including schools such as Sacred Heart Academy of Santa Maria Bulacan and St. Joseph College, you can do more in less time, with less stress. It’s an easy, no-fuss lifestyle.
This lifestyle in North Orchard Residences is further supported by the infrastructure projects rising in Bulacan. Imagine, in a few years’ time, you can travel to Metro Manila within just half an hour through the MRT-7 and the Tutuban-Malolos Railway of the North-South Commuter Railway. If ever you want to spend a weekend at Boracay or Puerto Princesa, you can easily do so with the Bulacan International Airport within a commuting distance. This is the kind of convenient lifestyle you deserve after all the hard work and sacrifices abroad.
An Opportunity to Pursue Relaxing Hobbies
As mentioned, the provinces up north are known to be travel destinations. Some of these places are the go-to for meditation and relaxation. In Bulacan, you can bike to the Hilltop, popularly called “Bulacan’s Baguio” at Norzagaray, and bask in the grandeur of the green landscape before you.
Go fishing at the famous rustic place Pesqueria de Tiaong. While catching tilapia or bulig, unwind in the company of calm scenery. Or, you can also try glamping at the San Rafael River Adventure, enjoying sumptuous, authentic Filipino dishes in a floating restaurant.
Even right within North Orchard Residences, you can experience the peace and quiet you crave. You can, for instance, lounge around the clubhouse or take a refreshing dip at the swimming pool. Meditate at the park or start your morning with a light run along the jogging path. During weekends, spend some quiet time at the chapel before taking the kids to the playground. In North Orchard Residences, you’ll be able to savor the perks of staying home for good, as you embrace the best of the peaceful lifestyle.
A Home with a Calming Simplicity
The suburban neighborhoods in the north of Metro Manila feature modern, but quaint homes that invite people in. Properties in North Orchard Residences feature neutral color palettes that are pleasing to the eye. With clean lines and minimalist exteriors, the overall design is uncluttered, the perfect representation of the serene lifestyle in the neighborhood. With a beautiful home like this, you can take pleasure in the idea of being an accomplished OFW. All the hard work was worth it.
Aside from the design’s sheer charm, the houses in North Orchard Residences feature additional living spaces that allow homeowners to embrace slowing down. On the porch, for example, you can drink your morning cup of coffee before starting your day. On the lawn, you can put different kinds of blooms and greens, creating a mini garden. Stepping in this space, you can finally embrace being a plantito or plantita and breathe easy with the fresh air all around.
Amid the pandemic, the north of Metro Manila is not just a go-to place for quick weekend getaways. For some people who want to do away with the hustle and bustle, it’s home. It’s the place where they can raise their family with peace and quiet.
