Choosing a home with the kids in mind

When families pick a place for a new home, the proximity and availability of good educational centers are the main consideration. With San Juan City’s high concentration of excellent schools, the area has seen a dramatic demand for housing among young families. To answer the needs of this sector, Megaworld Corporation, the country’s leading upscale residential developer, brings Greenhills Heights.

 “When you become a parent, your priorities change,” said Megaworld SVP for marketing and project head Maricen Jalandoni. “The welfare and future of your children take precedence over everything. Moving into Greenhills Heights is one of the most intelligent decisions you can make for your family since it answers your children’s scholastic aspirations.”

A small community composed of four mid-rise residential buildings, Greenhills Heights is strategically located in San Juan, the geographic center of metropolitan Manila. This affords short travel time to all points of greater Manila with major roads such as Aurora Boulevard, Ortigas Avenue, and EDSA connecting to main financial and educational districts.

One primary advantage of its location is that it cuts commuting time by half for working parents, giving them more time to spend with the family. This means more time to enjoy home-cooked meals, help the children with their homework, and more time for play and fun together.

Another advantage of Greenhills Heights is its nearness to some of the best schools in the country, such as De La Salle Greenhills, Xavier School, Immaculate Conception Academy, and OB Montessori. Also not far are St. Paul College Quezon City, Aquinas School, University of the East-Ramon Magsaysay Hospital, and Don Bosco. Prestigious schools such as the University of Asia and the Pacific, Poveda, and Lourdes School in Ortigas Center are just a short drive away. A little further by MRT are Ateneo de Manila, Miriam College, and the University of the Philippines.

Greenhills Heights is an enclosed upscale community that is optimal for families with small children in search of quiet but distinguished urban living.

A cluster of four mid-rise buildings on the corner of Pinaglabanan and Alvarez streets, it is comprised of just 168 residences. The low density promises a secure, neighborly ambience that parents need in raising a family.

The community itself also has features that promote this congenial atmosphere. There is a free-form tropical leisure pool and a landscape pool deck where families can relax under the sun. There is also a play area where children can meet and have fun with old and new friends. For teens, there is a fitness gym with integrated locker rooms and showers and a multi-purpose recreation clubhouse where they can have parties and other fun-filled gatherings.

Twenty-four-hour security and an audio intercom system ensure that the community remains a safe place for residents and their guests. Standby generators and water make sure utilities are available even during power outages.

Meanwhile, each of the seven- to eight-story buildings is endowed with eye-catching design that will make any family proud to call it home. Its exterior is decorated with concrete arches, faux balconies and ornate wall moldings while the grounds are lushly landscaped with trees and flowering plants. The units’ living areas are floored with wood laminate and there are pre-tiled kitchen and baths, making moving in all the more easy.
