Luxurious condos are also on the rise. While the ownership of these are centered more around a buyer looking for a quality lifestyle, extravagant amenities, and great locations, there are many that are willing to pay the price. In Florida last year, a 4,800 square foot condominium was sold for $4.65 million dollars. In 2005, California experienced a 90% jump in condominiums priced over one million. There were 1,677 condo sales, all in the one million dollar price range. Many of these luxury condominiums are located in areas of wealth and many have top-notch views. Amenities in such luxury condos may include quality furnishings, such as appliances, granite counter tops, and window treatments. Many luxury condo buyers like the fact that the properties are secure and feel their items of wealth are protected in this type of environment and they don’t have to pay the added cost of security. Condo hotel developments are on the rise in larger cities, as well. This type of luxury living affords one the opportunity of living in their own condominium with all the amenities of hotel living, such as room service, maid service, and concierge service. Research shows the average condo hotel buyer to be between the ages of 35 and 50 years old and many simply are purchasing them as both an investment property and vacation property.

Too often we hear arguments that a garden is only a luxury that people can do without so long as they have a roof over their heads. But, most people believed that a house can only be a home if it has a garden. Even a small garden can make a home much richer, a sanctuary for the creative mind to bear fruit and as a retreat for a tired soul. A garden is essential to a home because it brings us back to mother nature, showing us that there is an order to things, that we are part of that order, and that in it, it is indeed possible to carve our very own special place; living intimately with nature, the mother of us all.

With catch phrases such as “paradise in the city” and “resort living”, the Bay Garden Mactan Tower, Federal land’s condominium development in Metropolitan Park along Roxas Boulevard is one instance of what might be called the “green development” trend. Not only are its outdoor spaces landscaped, but its units were also thought out as extensions of the paradisaical theme. Its three bedroom Unit K makes a contemporary resort ambiance, the color scheme used were eggshell white for the walls and earth toned teak parquet and accessories made of natural materials, suggesting a calm union with nature. Upon entry, one takes in the flowing space from the foyer to the dining and living areas and to a view of Manila Bay beyond. With the sea at your window and nature’s element enhancing your dwelling, living in the city surely means living green.(Source:myhome magazine)
