The home greatly affects the quality of life, as peaceful surroundings can make for a stable sense of wellness. For instance, while living in the metro does have its perks, there are a few trade-offs. Depending on where you live, it might take a relatively long amount of time to get from one place to another. This, among a few others, might cause a reasonable amount of stress if you don’t choose a property that alleviates these concerns. 

Veer away from these challenges by choosing a home that addresses them. With Laguna as an emerging district in the south, real estate in Laguna provides promising opportunities With the south’s ongoing development, real estate in Laguna has a promising future. You’ve probably already considered moving there, but perhaps scrolling through pages of real estate listings or going through ocular visits of lots for sale in Laguna can seem intimidating. If you’re not exactly sure where to start, here are four key factors to consider when looking for the right location.

 

Strategic Location

Where we reside and the location of our homes is a crucial factor in helping us manage our time. Living in the city can be particularly challenging if you don’t live in properties that provide easy access to your workplace or other places of interest. This is why there is currently an active effort to develop residential land for sale in Laguna, an area that is rapidly evolving especially with the ongoing construction of the Cavite–Laguna Expressway. Sites like Rockwell South at Carmelray in Canlubang offer a prime location that gives residents peaceful solace while providing convenient proximity to places they need to be.

 

Wellness and Lifestyle

In this day and age, work-life balance is not just a want – it’s a necessity. In choosing residential real estate, one should consider if it contributes to their overall well-being. The ideal place should be able to keep homeowners calm after a long day of work, so that they have ample time and space to take care of their mind and spend time with their family. Rockwell South at Carmelray offers exactly that with a variety of 7 recreational parks integrated around the property. Residents can enjoy the Treehouse Park the size of 4 basketball courts, a Fitness Park for wellness enthusiasts, and a Play Park fit for all ages. The property has something to offer for every member of the family, as well as their guests.

 

Ensured Security

Above all things, safety is of utmost importance when it comes to residential real estate. A home must give residents a sense of assurance that their family is safe, and that they have nothing to worry about as they fall asleep at night. Rockwell South at Carmelray will have 24/7 security, and an attentive and responsive security team.With the measures they take, residents can freely roam around the village or stay indoors, worry-free.

 

Promising Future

The value of real estate in Laguna goes beyond the quality of life that it can offer – it also entails the appreciation of its selling price. As Laguna consistently develops, the resale value of lots in Rockwell South at Carmelray will undoubtedly increase as years go by. With budding businesses, rising commercial areas, and schools being built around, it’s quite clear that this area has a promising future. If one is to consider the potential return, these residential lots are definitely a sound choice.

With all these factors in mind, Rockwell South at Carmelray is a great place to acquire residential real estate. Aside from its close proximity to new commercial areas and schools, several business districts are conveniently accessible so there’s no need to worry about the travel time. Being Rockwell’s first high-end horizontal community in the south, it gives homeowners the freedom to choose what they want their home to be, giving them a unique opportunity to make it their own. Most of all, it gives a refreshing break from the busy city life that everyone knows too well.

We all know being near nature is good for us—and it might even help our kids grow up better, too

By : ANDREI YUVALLOS 

For a good number of people these days, living in a residential village with individual houses and lots have become a rarity. To save on commuting time and cost, a lot of families have chosen to live in the city rather than the suburbs or nearby provinces. While city living definitely has its advantages, there are still many benefits that can be derived from living in wide open, nature-filled spaces—for you and your kids. 

The perks of nature-filled living

Being close to nature is good for everyone, but living in nature is even better. Aside from helping lower stress levels and boosting your mood, constant exposure to nature can also positively affect your physical health. 

In a study conducted by the University of Michigan, test subjects were given a 35-minute numerical memory test. After the test, the researchers divided the subjects in two groups: a group that walked in a tree-filled area and the other in a busy street. Researchers discovered that a walk in an area surrounded by trees improved the memory of test subjects by almost 20 percent. The study concluded that being exposed to nature can help improve memory—which can also help other cognitive abilities.

Researchers have also found that the great outdoors can help reduce high blood pressure and even diabetes. Type II diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol and preterm birth can also be positively affected by exposure to green spaces.

Nature can nurture

There are a lot of factors to consider when raising kids. As much as education, nutrition and personal formation can help a child grow up well, the environment a child grows in is equally important in ensuring a holistic upbringing. 

In the 2009 study “Childhood Development and Access to Nature,” results show that “access and exposure to, and play in, nature can have profound positive effects on children’s emotional, physical and psychological development and well-being.”

Having room to grow and discover new things is an essential part of early childhood development. Sensory skills and motor function are two important developmental functions that a child needs to hone at an early age. Wide open spaces aren’t always readily available in metropolitan areas and your child touching things like escalator rails or elevator buttons aren’t the safest way to explore their sense of touch. 

What children need are grassy areas with trees so they can explore the natural world firsthand.

Growing kindness

These days, children are more accustomed to spending time with technology rather than the outdoors, but exposure to nature can also help improve how they interact with others and, potentially, society as a whole. 

Prosocial behavior is when people act to benefit others rather than themselves. Examples of prosocial behavior are generosity, teamwork and caring about others. Researchers have discovered that green spaces, like parks and playgrounds, can have a positive effect on developing prosocial behavior in children.

While setting a good example is the first step toward raising future upstanding members of society, doing it in an environment surrounded by trees and fresh air won’t hurt.

A space to grow and thrive

Figuring out where to settle down for a breath of fresh air is a challenge. As convenient as it is to live in the city, vast green spaces are a rarity in Metro Manila. Having long been associated with creating the quality homes in the city, Rockwell Land now expands its repertoire of properties to Laguna, Batangas, Cebu, and Bacolod to help people find a patch of green space they can call their own for nature-filled lifestyles beyond Metro Manila. 

Located south of Metro Manila is Rockwell Land’s largest premium gated community, Rockwell South at Carmelray in Calamba, Laguna. With generous-sized lot cuts and seven recreational parks across the estate, there is certainly room for the family to grow. Terreno South in Lipa, Batangas, on the other hand, creates a cool environment ensconced in greenery, with a one-to-one ratio between trees and houses, and thousands of mature trees preserved on its grounds.

In Visayas, one will find The Villas at Aruga Resort and Residences – Mactan along the shores of Cebu. Each villa has its own pool deck, and is just a few steps away from the estate’s exclusive 270 meter beachfront, making it an ideal vacation home. Rockwell’s property in Bacolod will also soon have horizontal spaces, which is something new to look forward to. 

Not all green spaces are the same, which is why Rockwell Land has developed different communities for families to call home. For families who prefer cool, forest living or a warmer home by the beach, Rockwell Land’s developments can help create the ideal spaces for families to grow—right alongside nature.

Nowadays, your backyard is no longer just an extra space in your lot, nor are parks mere beautifully landscaped spaces in your community—these have become your new havens for wellness. As journalist and urban planning researcher John Surico had said in his article for Citylab, “equitable access to local green space is more than a coronavirus-era amenity. It’s critical for physical, emotional, and mental health.” Inquirer columnist and medical expert Dr. Rafael Castillo himself confirms that “a nature-rich setting is more conducive to better mental, emotional and physical health. (It is) good for stress alleviation too.”

It thus comes as no surprise that many are now reconsidering their home options. While city living does offer unique perks and comforts, some have begun looking in the outskirts of the capital region for a home that offers more green open spaces—where the air is fresh, parks are aplenty and accessible, and communities are less dense.

Sprawling haven

In Canlubang, Laguna, Rockwell South at Carmelray is poised to offer this kind of sprawling haven for wellness—seamlessly integrating open spaces, lush foliage, verdant landscaping and nature in a modern archetype of a community. This latest project by Rockwell Land reflects its long appreciation for the incomparable benefits of nature in providing that much needed balance for today’s lifestyle. At the same time, it highlighted the value of horizontal living and adequate spaces most especially in these times.

Rockwell South at Carmelray, a joint venture with the Yulo family’s Carmelray Property Holdings Inc. and San Ramon Holdings Inc., is Rockwell Land’s first premium horizontal gated community.

Within this 63-ha expanse, future residents will revel in the serene suburban vibe of Laguna while they get to continue enjoying modern comforts: well-appointed amenities, exquisite finishes, and a self contained, highly exclusive community. Add to that its location—its proximity to major thoroughfares for ease of access, to prestigious schools, key establishments as well as other essential institutions, which future residents will surely appreciate.

Rockwell South at Carmelray features two residential clusters, with Cluster 1 offering over 200 lots with generous cuts ranging from 656 sqm up to 1,019 sqm to a discerning market that values and invests in nature, affluence, and privacy.

Embracing the outdoors

Beyond the luxury of space, what makes it all the more compelling as your ideal home in the new normal—or “now normal” as some would say—is how Rockwell created more opportunities for future residents to embrace the outdoors and enjoy the open skies and fresh air.

Setting the tone for what will be a unique Rockwell experience in the south is its network of wide roads and walkways shaded by trees, which serve as a natural buffer to preserve the community’s privacy and serenity; a relaxing and refreshing waterway tucked into the design of the main spine road; pocket parks and trails; and an expansive amenity complex, covering some 1.9 ha or an entire block within the property.

Outdoor activities can be enjoyed on the great lawn, while large gatherings can be organized in an impressive clubhouse. Sports enthusiasts can spend hours playing in the covered courts and lap pool, while kids can take a dip in the kiddie pool. Residents can likewise have smaller get-togethers under the shaded tents and even have a potluck in the barbecue area.

The amenity complex will further feature a retail row to host a curated mix of shops and restaurants. The Central Amenity lots at Cluster 1, in particular, will have easy access to this area.

Recreational parks

Apart from having this impressive Central Amenity, Rockwell South at Carmelray further allows its residents to immerse themselves in green spaces through the many recreational parks scattered throughout this community, each offering its own set of activities that will allow you to nurture your health and wellness. Four of these recreational parks can be found in Cluster 1, thus adding to the feeling of spaciousness particularly for owners of lots surrounding these open spaces.

The 1,700 sqm Treehouse Park—equivalent to the size of more than four basketball courts—will feature a cabin up in the trees, while the 2,800 sqm Fitness Park will serve as the fitness enthusiasts’ haven with its grand gazebo and wellness garden.

Other parks include the 1,400 sqm Play Park—perfect for quality bonding moments with the family from grandparents to kids, and the 4,100 sqm meter Bike Park, which will feature an outdoor trail and a grill area for al fresco dining.

Rockwell has indeed given you all the reasons to invest in a new home in the new normal, as it created another distinct lifestyle in a premium development down south—one of embracing the outdoors, communing with nature and ensuring your health and well-being, all while still enjoying innumerable modern comforts as though you’re right back in the heart of the city.

Never has South Luzon been as exciting as it is today.

While Calabarzon has long

been recognized as one of the main growth drivers of the Philippine economy for being a major industrial and manufacturing corridor, there has been an increased focus and interest lately on this region, which is comprised of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon.

As what Colliers International Philippines earlier claimed: “What we are seeing in the Southern Luzon corridor is a microcosm of innovation and evolution in the Philippine property sector.”

Property hotspot

The province of Laguna, for one, has become one of the more favored property hotspots in this region, which was made even more exciting and viable for fresh investments, thanks to the expected completion of key infrastructure projects in the near to medium term.

Property developers, in particular, are looking to cash in on the potential of Laguna given the brisk demand for high residential communities that could seamlessly blend the more casual, laidback feel of the province with the modern conveniences similar to what one can find in major urban centers.

Over the last several years, more real estate firms have started to make a mark in this area and bring their stamp of excellence and unique brand of property offerings to Laguna.

Upscale developer Rockwell Land, for one, currently enjoys a healthy uptake for its distinct brand of residences that epitomizes high living in the suburbs.

In Canlubang, Laguna, the company is developing the 63 hectare Rockwell South at Carmelray, a joint venture with the Yulo family’s Carmelray Property Holdings Inc. and San Ramon Holdings Inc.

This upcoming residential neighborhood, which is Rockwell’s first premium horizontal project, will bring that Rockwell exclusivity and lifestyle down south of the metro where future residents will enjoy the suburban vibe of Laguna while they revel in the exquisite features that are a staple in any Rockwell development: signature open spaces, lush greenery, verdant landscaping, well-appointed amenities, and quality finishes.

And clearly, such a promise bodes well with today’s well-heeled market as evident in the resounding success of Rockwell South at Carmelray’s first phase, which is comprised of over 200 lots, with sizes ranging from 656 to 1,000 sqm each.

So much so that Rockwell Land has already unveiled the Cluster 2 of Rockwell South at Carmelray just months after the project was officially launched.

Wider offerings

The launch of the Cluster 2 is indeed a promising addition to an upscale community fast taking shape in Laguna, as it will provide a wider array of lot offerings, recreational parks and other amenities for residents. These offerings will provide an even more holistic lifestyle, perfect for today’s urban dwellers.

On offer are a total of 178 lots with sizes ranging from 300 to 473 sqm. Within this cluster, one will find three additional recreational parks to cater to the varied needs of Rockwell Land’s discerning clientele.

For one, there’s the 900-sqm Wellness Park, which will have an outdoor yoga nook and paver paths, perfect for those moments you just want to de-stress and have some quiet time alone with your thoughts; a Dog Park for your adorable furballs; and a Barbeque Park, which will feature a treehouse, outdoor lounge, grill patio, play area, and outdoor gym for your fitness goals.

Modern and nostalgic

A metropolitan haven at the countryside perfectly describes life in Rockwell South at Carmelray. Uniquely being both modern and nostalgic, Laguna boasts of contemporary establishments found along its tranquil roads, while its highly strategic location makes it easily accessible via major thoroughfares such as the South Luzon Expressway and upcoming infrastructure projects like the Cavite Laguna Expressway.

Within Rockwell South by Carmelray, a host of features and amenities will regale and fit the preferred lifestyle of future residents. Over 3 hectares of amenities and recreational spaces will have you feeling like you’re on vacation all year round as you will never run out of things to do here.

An expansive central amenity spanning 1.9 hectares will be home to Rockwell South at Carmelray’s clubhouse, events hall, gym, dance studio, multi-use court, swimming pool, play area, shade tents, and a barbecue area where friends and families can either achieve their fitness goals, come together for a much sought bonding time, or simply unwind.

With the welcome addition of Cluster 2, lush landscapes await at the three recreational parks spread across an over 3,700 sqm expanse, which will meanwhile be within easy reach—providing more than enough space for exhilarating outdoor activities for everyone, and perhaps, even your very own spot to breathe in fresher air and positivity. Here you’ll have spacious jogging paths, lush open spaces and gardens, all catering to the diverse lifestyle needs of Rockwell South at Carmelray residents.

Without a doubt, Rockwell South at Carmelray is well poised to become a breathtaking residential retreat as well as the most coveted address of the well-heeled market in this part of the region as it makes possible a lifestyle that could still be laid back yet replete with all the modern necessities that are often found in cities and urban centers.

Tucked among the restaurants, bars and residential communities in Bel-Air, Makati City is an area brimming with much life through the occupants and families who frequent its high-rise buildings and the upscale Power Plant Mall.
