Two Seven Residences

Are you buying your first condominium unit? Not only should you first consider the cost of the unit, but you must also factor in a number of details before signing a contract. Here are some tips when scouting around for your new home.

Keep in mind that good location is a key factor in choosing a condo unit. With the recent flooding caused by Typhoon Ondoy, it pays to know if your area is on high ground. You may be residing in a condominium, but if floodwaters will keep you trapped inside for a few days, then it would be unwise to choose that location.

Consider the basic amenities offered within the building. Does it have 24-hour doorman, adequate security to cover the whole building, a lobby, swimming pool, gym, playroom, or even enough elevators? Are there private convenience shops within or near the building, such as a grocery, laundry or water refilling station? These could greatly affect your convenience.

A location that’s becoming popular among condo buyers is Kapitolyo in Pasig City. It is centrally located and makes Makati, Ortigas and Quezon City easily accessible. While the area is still a quiet residential place, there are now a number of commercial establishments that cater to the needs of residents.

The newest property in Kapitolyo is Two Seven Residences developed by PTR Properties, which specializes in medium-rise condominiums. More information is at www.ptrproperties.
