Sometimes I
wonder whether living in the outskirts of Cebu City is the best thing for me or
not. Although living within the city has
numerous advantages compared to living outside the city where I work, living
outside does have some benefits for me especially during the weekends.
These days,
it is not too difficult to find a place on the outskirts of Cebu City that is suitable
enough for me to live in. In fact there are a number of options that I consider
comfortable enough for me if I decide on living in the outskirts of Cebu City. These
places are far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city while near enough
for me to easily shuttle back-and-forth without much difficulty.

| Astana |
One of these
subdivisions is the Astana Subdivision, which is located in Lapulapu City. The
Astana Subdivision is close to a Montessori School, the Opon Church and the Birhen
sa Regla Church. It is one ride away from the Mactan International Airport and two
of the major malls in Cebu City, SM City Cebu and Ayala Center Cebu. Students studying in the University of San
Carlos-Main Campus, University of Cebu-Main, University of the Visayas, and the
Asian College of Technology will not find it difficult to commute to and from
the subdivision. The subdivision is currently on its pre-selling stage, which
means it is still cheaper compared to units that are already ready-for-occupancy.
Another advantage in getting an Astana Subdivision unit is the fact that buyers
can already move in once a loan is taken out for the payment of the unit and
fifty percent of the down payment is already paid. This makes it an ideal place
for anyone who is considering living in the outskirts of Cebu City.

| Velmiro Heights |
Another
subdivision that can be taken into consideration when one is thinking of living
in the outskirts of Cebu City is the Velmiro Heights subdivision. This subdivision is also in the pre-selling
stage. Although Velmiro Heights is located in Tunghaan, Minglanilla, it is
quite accessible since it is only ten minutes from the South Road Project. The subdivision
offers a number of amenities that allow unit owners to relax after working for
an entire week. The development has set aside forty percent of its 8.8-hectare
area for amenities and facilities. Among the facilities that unit owners can
use if the two-storey clubhouse that features an adult and kiddie pool, fitness
gym, lounge area, playground and multi-function rooms. The main road of the subdivision
is twelve meters wide and has a grand entrance with a guard house for security.
The subdivision is also located sixty meters above sea level, which makes the
risk of flooding minimal.

| Modena |
The Modena Subdivision
in Lapulapu City is another development that anyone can take into consideration
if they want to enjoy living in the outskirts of Cebu City. The development
features a landscaped entrance and sophisticated gate along with an elegant
guardhouse. The curbs and gutters are all cemented while the sidewalks are
paved. Since the Modena subdivision features an underground drainage system
with individual rainwater catchments, flooding is minimized especially during a
heavy downpour. The development also
features a multi-functional hall and a convertible basketball court. One thing that makes this development stand
out is the fact that the developer does not wait for buyers to make their
initial payment before they start to build the units. This makes it quite
convenient since potential unit owners can actually start to live in the living
in the outskirts of Cebu City immediately after they finish paying the down
payment of their housing units.
These are
just three subdivision developments available for people aim to live just
outside the city without having to deal with the hassle of travelling long
distances just to get to their place of work. People who want to have a relaxing weekend can
take these developments into consideration if they want to have a place to live
in that is not too far away from the city. Living in the outskirts of Cebu City
is more convenient due to these recent subdivision developments.
