Are you Thankful?

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. --Melody Beattie

Crosswinds

I have been working for five years and looking for house design inspirations, this one is pretty amazing. I can't believe i could actually find a house and lot Philippines that could loos as elegant as Brittany Corporation's Crosswinds community. I am just thinking of the price because as we all know, Tagaytay lands are real investment. I am real investment.

I have researched about the company and it is under Vista Land. Great for me!

Your Tagaytay house choices: Family House, Condo or Town House?

If you are looking for a home to buy in Tagaytay, the first thing is to identify whether you need a town house, a condominium or a family house. The term family house is common, but people usually regard the term town house and condominium interchangeable. Now, before purchasing your Tagaytay house, lets identify the type that you need.

Family Tagaytay House

A family house is simply a standalone house. Most property listings here in the Philippines call this type of house, “single family homes” whether it has detached structures or not. If you care about privacy, this is the best type for you. You can shout and play loud music, whatever you please because most of this type is sound proof. There are no common walls, so you can change the interior even during late hours.

However, be ready for two major disadvantage of this house type. Since you are living in the Philippines, buying a self alone house and lot is extremely expensive. Lastly, you have to tend your garden and other house facilities alone.

Tagaytay Condominium

Meanwhile, in condominium, your ownership is limited to what is inside the unit. All the rest, you have to share with other occupants including the hallway outside your condo, green eye candies, parking area, fitness centre and more.

Mostly, people who are just visiting Tagaytay during vacations and rare circumstance will win in this set up. It is low-priced and definitely low maintenance. However, be reminded that you will be sharing your walls, floor and roof to the rest of the occupants. However, you can be lucky enough to find condos that are luxurious enough and will not give you the headache of noisy surrounding.

Tagaytay Townhouse

Lastly, let’s discuss town house. In summary, townhouse falls between family house and condominium. The structure is very similar with the family house only that it shares walls to the right and left home owner. To simplify the difference to condominiums, just remove the units below and above you. With Tagaytay townhouse you may enjoy small personal garden, parking lot and house exterior design.

The best advice to get before buying a townhouse is to get a unit on the extreme side so you can enjoy space and a little privacy.

Now that you can understand the difference between these real estate terms, you can start finding the one that suits you best.
