Which Condominium Unit Suits You Best? Welcomes You

Amenity Spotlight: The perks of having a condo gym

Published By: The Good Life | January 3, 2020

Thinking about getting a gym membership? Take advantage of your SMDC condo’s amenities instead and look into the building’s gym! If you need convincing, look into these benefits:

More cost-efficient than a commercial gym membership

Memberships at commercial gyms and fitness clubs cost a lot of money. By joining the gym at your SMDC condo, you secure a preferred membership  rate. Moreover, it also lets you save on transportation costs because it’s just  an elevator ride away.

Saves you a lot of time

More than the monetary value it saves you, your SMDC condo’s gym also helps you save time because you no longer have to go far to work out. With  the traffic situation, this makes a big difference and could spell out whether  or not you get to squeeze in exercise within your day.

Neighbors for gym buddies

Looking for a gym buddy? Good neighbors can make good gym buddies. With a fixed condo gym to go to, it’s much easier to find someone you can regularly work out with!

Also helps you manage your diet

Because your gym is right at the vicinity of your SMDC condo, it’s more likely for you to go straight home after your work out—away from all the temptations of restaurants and food carts commonly near commercial gyms!

Moving into a new home with kids? Here’s why you should consider condo living

Published By: The Good Life | January 3, 2020

For families with kids, there are a lot of things to consider when choosing a home. After all, the environment that parents raise their kids in is very important to the way they grow and develop. Here are some reasons why it would be good to consider raising kids in a condo.

Ease of access to necessities

Parenting can be unpredictable and sometimes you can’t always anticipate what your kids might need out of the blue. With SMDC residences, you get quick access to the grocery and other retail stores. This makes any last minute needs your kids may need an easy feat—e.g. baby supplies, last minute school needs, and the like.

An open but controlled community

Amenities in SMDC residences include a common area for kids, as well as a swimming pool. These make the perfect avenues for children to not only play outdoors while staying in a secure and controlled environment, it’ll also allow them to interact with neighbors and make friends. This fosters a healthy sense of community for kids and helps them develop strong social skills.

Safety and childproofing is easier

Unlike houses, condo units don’t have stairs, which is a main concern for those living with kids. It’s also much easier to childproof a condo with corner guards and cushion walls. Main lookouts will be the kitchen counters or cabinets, and the balcony—all of which a simple childproof lock can easily address.

Security is better

With condominiums, you can be assured that your place has security 24/7. CCTVs around the building are also pre-equipped so you won’t have to worry about it. Lobbies gate-keep the building and exits have security guards, so you know your children won’t wander off the property without anyone getting alerted.

It’s considerably cheaper

Aside from the safety, community, and convenience benefits, one more thing top consider is the cost. Raising a family can be expensive. Even if you choose a bigger #SMDC condo unit, it still won’t set you back as much as a typical house and lot would. Maintaining it is also considerably cheaper, not to mention easier. This way, you can set aside more for your family’s other needs.

3 Benefits of renting out your condo

Published By: The Good Life | December 19, 2019

Real estate is one of the best things you can invest in. Property rates, especially in prime locations, are always appreciating in value. Owning an #SMDC condo in the right location is one of the best ways you can own real estate, and renting it out can make it even more beneficial to you. Here’s why:

It’s passive income.

Renting out your space means that you make money with minimal effort. Essentially, you just have to collect your tenant’s payments for rent and manage any maintenance or repair concerns. Your tenant pays for utility bills; and you can come to an agreement with them on management fees. With rent, your condo helps pay for itself.

Maintenance and security become easier.

It’s easy to think that no occupancy means less maintenance. However, renting out your space actually allows you to maintain your property better because your tenants will notify you of any repairs or concerns. Unoccupied properties are susceptible to damages going unnoticed or overlooked. Moreover, occupancy brings your property security from strangers illegally entering or utilizing your space.

Your property will appreciate in value over time.

Because SMDC residences are always located in prime locations that are always developing, property value appreciation is steady. Renting out your condo will allow you to make money off it now, while you wait to sell at the best possible time where you deem the return of investment to be right for you.
