The pandemic has prompted urban dwellers to seek properties in the provinces.
An increasing number of so-called “probinsyanos” are heading back to the provinces to reclaim the idyllic lifestyles they once had while cityfolk are following suit.
Constantly evolving technology can now support flexible work and study arrangements such that more and more Metro Manila residents are moving to the suburbs or even farther in the countryside.
The Philippine real estate industry is casting its sights on this growing market.
One property company that has been tapping into this market long before the pandemic is BRIA Homes.
BRIA Homes has more than 50 projects across the country, giving it a headstart in offering property seekers prime residential locations outside the Metro.
BRIA Homes’ affordable house and lot packages are in Cavite, Laguna, Negros, Misamis Oriental, Bukidnon, Leyte, Samar, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, North Cotabato, South Cotabato, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, and Pangasinan. BRIA also has developed residential communities in Rizal and Bataan.
Proximity to key destinations such as schools, hospitals, churches, and commercial establishments remains a coveted feature of Bria projects, as does their access to major roads and highways.
With the government’s continuous work on new infrastructure, travel time between towns and cities in the provinces is drastically reduced, prodding home seekers to restart their lives in healthier environs.
BRIA likewise assures all its residents and homeowners of security and protection through perimeter fences, guarded entrances and exits, 24/7 CCTV coverage, and solar lighting at night. Amenities such as children’s parks and playgrounds, basketball courts, and multipurpose halls promote a sense of community among them.
