While country living is not a popular choice before, choosing and living in the suburbs is now a go-to for many Filipinos. It is seen as a smart move for individuals and families to choose a less crowded, less polluted, and more affordable home choice outside the suffocating atmosphere of the city.
The term “suburbs” refers to the fact that you live outside of a big city yet can still go to work by car (Benefits of Living in Suburban Communities, 2022).
If you’re still thinking it through, here are some advantages of suburban living to help you decide where to settle down.
Expansive lots and homes
If you’ve scanned through available properties in the suburbs, one thing that you’ll notice is the significant amount of space it provides, compared to the cramped living spaces in the city.
With more space to move around, you can easily customize your homes and backyard to be able to enjoy running around with your kids on the weekend. Additionally, if you’re choosing to live in a developed community, there are numerous amenities and open spaces you can enjoy with your family.
Easy commutes
The suburbs are not an option before because of accessibility issues, especially for those who are working in the city. People are enduring the cramped spaces, pollution, and noise in the city because it is easier for them to reach their workplaces there.
However, with different infrastructure projects now in place, along with the currently available commute options for people, living in the suburbs has already been a great choice. In Antipolo, for example, the inauguration of the Antipolo LRT station makes it easier for residents to go to and from the Metro.
Closer to nature
Now more than ever, we realize the importance of having open spaces for fresh air, and just being one with nature to de-stress and relax. While the city tries to create that atmosphere through open parks and trees within alleyways, we cannot deny the fact that the city is still too congested and polluted.
With suburban living, on the other hand, you can really enjoy wide open spaces while being surrounded by trees and fresh air. You can even enjoy the scenic view of the sunrise and sunset, along with the city lights from afar.
You don’t have to put up with all the city’s hustle and bustle. After a long day at work, it would be nice to go home to a peaceful and refreshing environment, something that suburban homes can provide.
