Residing in Rizal: A Serene and Spacious Home Awaits

When the pandemic upended what we knew as normal, we had to adjust to working, learning, and doing everything else from home. What we consider important in a safe haven has also changed. Aside from enjoying enough room for a home office, being close to nature and lush open spaces have also become a priority. This is why houses and lots for sale in Rizal are on the rise today.

However, moving from the metro to the province can be a tough decision to make, especially when you’re   making a living or studying in the city. A common compromise is residing in nearby municipalities or less dense cities which have flexible residential options – like Rizal. It’s beyond the borders of NCR yet near and accessible enough for easy travel.

House and Lot for Sale in Rizal

While only 26 kilometers east of Metro Manila, Rizal offers an immediate change of pace and scenery from the capital region.

Be it in the municipalities like Taytay and Cainta, or even the capital city of Antipolo, Rizal features plenty of open spaces, making suburban living feels like a world away yet puts daily needs within your reach. From the lush greenery of the Angono Forest to the waterfront views of Lakeside Park, there are various venues to enjoy the outdoors and connect with nature in the province – all without taking yourself too far from the modern conveniences of the city. Driving from Taytay to Ortigas Center will only take you an hour, and to Eastwood, only around 30 minutes.

When buying a house and lot in Rizal, opt for gated residential developments with ample indoor and yard space. A major plus for amenities and areas that encourage an active outdoor lifestyle.

These include the likes of Amarilyo Crest and Mira Valley.

Located in Taytay, Rizal, Amarilyo Crest is a serene community characterized by its quaint contemporary Asian architecture and the panoramic views that surround it. Fully embodying the open-air living that people love Rizal for, it features refreshing amenities like adult and kiddie pools, gazebo, parks, and open spaces.
 

Mira Valley, on the other hand, is a residential enclave epitomized by contemporary European architecture. With panoramic vistas of the metropolitan skyline, it lets you re charge amidst its nature-inspired amenities like a meditation garden, view deck, and gazebo. The natural waterways are preserved, too, enjoying a harmonious balance with the man-made lake. 

Offering a true escape from the grind, Amarilyo Crest and Mira Valley remain conveniently located near key establishments    in both Rizal and Metro Manila. These include the Manila East Medical Center, SM City Taytay, Vista Mall Antipolo, Valley Golf and Country Club, and Thunderbird Resorts.

A province offering plenty on its own 

More and more families and young professionals are enticed into buying a house and lot for sale in Rizal as it has plenty to offer. 

Themed cafés, overlooking establishments, and several tourist spots make the provincial life in Rizal quiet but never lacking in interest. These include Hinulugang Taktak, a natural site that features a waterfall and park; the widely known Pintô Art Museum; and the Casa Santa Museum, a home-turned-museum featuring a large and priceless trove of Santa Claus-themed figurines and related items. Antipolo, also known as the Pilgrimage Capital of the Philippines, is also home to churches and cathedrals that protect the relics and images of venerated saints.

Recognized as the Most Competitive Municipality in 2019, Taytay is one of the most ideal places to live in Rizal while nurturing a career in Metro Manila. It is bound by Pasig and Taguig on the west and a short ride away from the NCR. It will be even more accessible upon the completion of the Metro Rail Transit Line 4 (MRT-4) which links Taytay to the Ortigas Business Center.

Rizal is also the location of Havila, a 300-hectare master-planned townscape developed by Filinvest. Here, you can find the aforementioned Amarilyo Crest and Mira Valley. It lets you lead a life that’s closer to nature with its verdant landscapes, fresh mountain breeze, and breath-taking setting. Keeping your daily needs within easy reach, Havila houses the San Beda College and PAREF Rosehill School and puts essential establishments a few minutes’ drive away.

Indeed, there is something for everyone in Rizal. When considering where to live next, this province checks all the boxes in a list where outdoor spaces, proximity to modern conveniences, and a laid-back suburban lifestyle are decisive factors.
