Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack: More time for things that matter
MANILA, Philippines - The aspiration is to have more time to be able to explore more meaningful pursuits. This is one thing that many of us generally hope for. Whether it is to enjoy longer bonding time with family, indulge in hobbies or sports, or have more time for quiet meditation and reflection, there are times when we wish that there were more hours in a day.However, the reality is that one gets caught up with the pace and requirements of urban living. As we are held in shackles by city life and its attendant difficultiesof packed schedules and frenzied work timetables, time becomes even more precious. It doesn’t help that this lack of time is aggravated by crowds, traffic standstills and other minor annoyances. Thus, a comfortable home that is also highly accessible becomes even more desirable.
A great location This is one of Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack’s primary draws. Its excellent location is hard to beat. Situated in the prime area of barangay Wack Wack in Mandaluyong City, Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack is at the midpoint of Metro Manila. This makes it readily accessible for those whose work requires them to be in Makati, Ortigas, Quezon City and The Fort. For them, the daily commute from home to work (and vice versa) will not be too nerve-wracking. The first-rate location, too, is great for families with school-aged children. The development is in close proximity to firstrate schools like OB Montessori, UA&P, La Salle Greenhills, Poveda College, Xavier School, Immaculate Conception Academy, Lourdes School Mandaluyong and a host of other educational institutions. And while children seem to have boundless energy, a shorter commute will also serve them well. By eliminating the need to travel considerable distances and freeing up time for our children,
they may be encouraged to take up whatever pursuits or hobbies that interest them such as sports, art, learning to play a musical instrument, or even mastering their technical know-how with the latest gadgets. For our energetic children, time is too precious to be wasted wallowing in a sluggish, molasses-like pace of a traffic jam. What makes Crown Asia Residences Wack Wack even more attractive is its proximity to a diverse choice of shopping and leisure centers.
The development features a well-appointed, climate-controlled grand lobby. A History of Excellence

On the east will be sweeping views of the Ortigas skyline and Antipolo, the Makati skyline on the south, and Manila Bay on the west. But that is just the visible panorama.
