What to Look Out for When Investing in a CDO Condo

With such advantages, it may be tempting to invest in just about any piece of property in Cagayan de Oro. However, to truly make the most out of the City of Golden Friendship, particularly if you’re an aspiring condo owner in the area, keep these things in mind before making the big jump:

1. Proximity to Major Roads & Districts

To make the most out of your potential condo investment, make sure your space is located near CDO’s major thoroughfares, where public transport is easily accessible. This way, major malls and establishments are only a short drive or commute away.

2. Picturesque Location

People come to Cagayan de Oro to escape the hustle and bustle of other cities. If you’re planning to settle here, it’s best to choose a location where you can breathe in the fresh air and admire the views of nearby forests or mountains.

3. Relaxing Environment

A move to CDO can mean a step up for your mental health and wellness – if you’re at the right place. Invest in a condo that offers a vacation ambience, with stylish architecture and calming interior design. Choose a home you’ll look forward to going home after a long day and finally put your feet up.

4. Healthy Amenities

The value of a condo property goes up depending on the quality of its amenities. Choose those with resort-inspired swimming pools, gardens, function areas, and a fitness center.

5. Low-Density Residence

When looking for a condo that exudes a sense of privacy and wellness, we recommend mid-rise communities. They have fewer units per floor than high-rises, giving you ample breathing room and social distance from other residents. Opt for internet-ready units, which can cater to your remote work or learning needs, with layouts that maximize each square meter.
