Here’s Why Pasig-Cainta is the Ideal Location for Retirees

Retirees should have one thing on their mind, and that is to enjoy the good things in life. 

The plan for retirement requires several components, including how to set up supporting income and health-related maintenance. One major aspect, however, is where to spend the rest of their days with an investment in real estate.

Investing in real estate will be a major decision for retirees, as the location of their preferred retirement home will serve as the foundation for all their post-retirement activities. There are many choices for those who would like to stay within the country, including busy cities such as Makati and Manila, cool retreats such as Tagaytay and Baguio, or beach escapes such as Batangas and Palawan.

For current and upcoming retirees who have not yet decided on a location for their post-retirement real estate investment, one option that is growing in attractiveness is the Pasig-Cainta area. 

Here are the top three reasons why retirees should consider living in the Pasig-Cainta area for their post-retirement life.

Accessibility to important places, loved ones

The Pasig-Cainta area is one of the most accessible areas in Metro Manila, in terms of options on how to get around. Residents are easily able to get on EDSA, C-5 Road, Ortigas Avenue, and Marcos Highway, which open up to the rest of the cities of Metro Manila.

The highest level of accessibility is important to retirees for a variety of reasons. With no full-time job to take up most of their waking hours, retirees should be able to choose from a long list of places to visit and things to do to spend the day. Retirees may also appreciate receiving family and friends as visitors, which will be a common occurrence if they live in the Pasig-Cainta area. Lastly, retirees should have easy access to places that are important to them, such as supermarkets and hospitals.

Rising infrastructure projects

The Pasig-Cainta area is also set to benefit from the Duterte administration’s Build, Build, Build Program with the construction of the LRT-2 East Extension Project, which will add the Emerald Station in Marikina and the Masinag Station in Antipolo. 

The Emerald Station, in particular, will benefit residents of the Pasig-Cainta area. It will be located at the intersection of Felix Avenue and Marcos Highway, near shopping malls Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall and Robinsons Metro East.

Once up and running, which is expected by Q4 2020, people from the Pasig-Cainta area will be able to easily ride the LRT-2, which currently runs from Recto Station in Manila to Santolan Station in Marikina, passing through Quezon City and San Juan City. 

The Emerald Station will further improve the accessibility of the Pasig-Cainta area, so retirees living there will have an additional transportation option for times when private transportation is not available.

Appreciating value

Real estate in the Pasig-Cainta area will prove to be lucrative investments for retirees, as the value of properties will continue to appreciate over time due to the aforementioned accessibility and infrastructure projects.

Retirees who purchase properties with rapidly rising value will be presented with winning options. They may choose to sell the property after a few years for a considerable profit to be used in purchasing another home, or to keep living in the property and eventually pass it on to their families as inheritance.
