Benefits Of Condo Living Within Cebu City

Owning a property within Cebu City is costly these days. In fact, it is cheaper to live outside the city and travel to and from the city each day. However, travelling to and from the city will take its toll on anyone who has an eight-to-five job in the city. Waking up early in the morning can be tiring for anyone who has to beat the morning rush and get to the office on time. One way to deal with this daily grind is to find an affordable yet convenient place to stay within the city without having to pay an unreasonable price. This is where condo living within Cebu City comes in.

People may not have the right idea when it comes to living in a condominium. Some people think that condo living is costly and only reserved for the upper crust of society. However, this does not have to be since there are numerous condominium developments that have sprouted all over the city. In fact, nearly all major areas in the city have an existing condominium or are currently being developed. Due to this, the price of a condo unit has become more affordable to many urbanites.

Condo living within Cebu City has become more convenient with the numerous choices available for buyers. Condo units can be purchased for as low as around one million for the basic studio unit to as high as twenty eight million for the high-end penthouse units.

There are a number of benefits of condo living within Cebu City and one of them is the peace of mind that it is fully secured 24 hours each and every day. Imagine having your own security force guarding your property. You do not have to spend thousands each month for 24-hour-security for your property.  You will have the peace of mind each time you go out of your unit each day or night.

Another benefit that condo owners will have is the convenience of condo living within Cebu City itself, which is probably within minutes from their workplace. People working at the IT Park have a number of condominiums they can opt to purchase. Some of them are located within the IT Park itself while others are a stone’s throw away from IT Park. There are also a number of condo developments that are just one ride or minutes away from the major IT area in Cebu. Among the options that potential buyers have are the Calyx, Lahug Garden Flats, and the Mivesa Residences.  These condo developments are within or a few minutes away from the IT Park. For people working within the Cebu Business Park, they can select from the Mabolo Garden Flats, Persimmon, and Avalon. Uptown urbanites also have a number of options available for them including the Fuente Towers, Horizon 101 and Apple One.

Condo living within Cebu City is also advantageous for people who are not into the habit if cleaning up the entire property each week. One of the benefits from the condo dues that owners have to pay each month is cleaning the common areas inside the building. This means the reception area, hallways, and other common areas will be maintained by the staff of the condominium. All the condo owners have to think about are their individual condo units, which may not require much work to maintain.

Although fire may be the bringer of life, it is also one thing homeowners are very concerned about. As the saying goes, “it is better to be robbed than to have your house burned down.” Current condominium developments offer some sort of protection against fires. Aside from the obligatory fire exits, condominiums also offer a sprinkler system that can prevent fires from burning the entire condo unit, if not the entire building itself. Some condominium units even offer heat detectors that will warn if not stop a fire from getting out of hand.  This makes condo living within Cebu City a bit safer than living in a house outside of the city.

Condo living within Cebu City may also have some disadvantages. One disadvantage is the limited space that a standard condo unit offers to its owners. Most studio units have a total floor area of 22 square meters. This makes it impractical for a family of four to live in a studio due to the limited space. However, it should be taken into consideration that property prices in the city have skyrocketed in recent years.  Purchasing an entire house inside the city may be more costly than purchasing a condo unit within the city. If you find the space too small for you and you cannot afford to purchase a house within the city, you will have to deal with the daily grind of waking up early in the morning just to ensure you are not late for work every single day. Condo living within Cebu City is a convenience that will allow anyone to have a good night’s rest without having to worry about waking up early the next morning.

Another disadvantage of condo living within Cebu City is the threat of fires. Yes, I listed this as one benefit of living in a condo within the city. However, some people are still concerned with fires that may happen in the building they call home. They think that they will not be able to wake up in time to get out of their unit before the fire spreads. This is the reason why you should make sure that the residential condominium unit that you are thinking about purchasing has all the necessary fire safety systems. You can also take into consideration purchasing a house that does not have a fire alarm or sprinkler system that will reduce the effects of fire in your property as compared to purchasing a condo unit with all the necessary fire alarm and sprinkler systems to deal with any fires that may happen inside the building.

Living inside a residential condominium does have its own advantages and disadvantages. However, it would all depend on the needs of the person who wishes to purchase a piece of property within the city. In the end, I find condo living within Cebu City more appealing and convenient for me compared to acquiring a house outside the city and having to deal with the daily routine of waking up early just to get to work on time.
