Reasons to live in Ortigas Center

1.) EVERYTHING IS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE

Ortigas Center prides itself on having everything within your reach. Indeed, proximity is vital in Ortigas, being named one of the most walkable central business districts in Manila. Parks, malls, coffee shops, restaurants, and most importantly, transport terminals are within reach of each other—all you would need to do is go for a ten to fifteen-minute walk to get around. With everything so accessible, residents can enjoy going around the city.

2.) SAFETY IS AN UTMOST PRIORITY

As with any neighborhoods and cities, safety should always be a priority, and Ortigas Center is no different. As a business district that is somewhat compartmentalized, safety is assured in the city. Police visibility is at a hundred percent any time of the day, with various officials patrolling the streets on their motorcycles. More importantly, streets are well-lit throughout the night that BPO employees would feel relatively at ease when returning home in the wee hours of the morning or working night shifts. Residents can take refuge in the fact that safety and security will always be an utmost priority.

3.) THE PHILIPPINE RENDITION OF LOS ANGELES

It is practically the local counterpart of the famous Westside city in the United States, Los Angeles. Makati, which has always been likened to New York, is the country's leading financial hub. While Ortigas is no different, the people in Ortigas find more time to slow down and relax. Despite being in a perpetual buzz of activity, you can still find residents taking up leisurely activities. Interestingly, just like Los Angeles being the land of stars and celebrities, Ortigas is where you can find the most number of local celebrities who hang out in the area throughout the day.

4.) A WEALTH OF RESIDENTIAL OPTIONS

As the second financial epicenter of the Philippines, it should come as no surprise that many investors and like-minded individuals would want to push and expand their enterprising efforts within Ortigas. Similarly, young professionals and growing families would want to take up residence in the city, given the abundance of job openings and career advancement opportunities. As a result, Ortigas would need to cater to the ever-increasing demand in residential options. Today, Ortigas Center has a wide selection of condominiums and residential projects to choose from—all of which would accommodate a myriad of lifestyles. With Alveo Land expanding their portfolio in Ortigas, future homebuyers can choose between its signature projects Ametta Place and Portico Residences, both ideally located in this city.

5.) OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH

As one of the most successful central business districts in the Philippines, Ortigas, without a doubt, offers a unique opportunity for career advancement. In this regard, you can climb the corporate ladder faster and easier by taking up residence in one of the most thriving business districts in the Philippines. After all, many of the most sought-after companies have already situated themselves here. With this in mind, one can expect a wealth of promising careers and viable job options. On top of that, you can also experience the ease of accessibility and convenience as walking to your workplace nearby becomes possible.

6.) SOCIABLE PEOPLE

Filipinos have always been known for their hospitality. Whenever anyone needs help, most Filipinos would not hesitate to lend a hand. This trait is easily observable among the Filipinos living in Ortigas. While everyone equally has a career goal in mind and strives to be successful in their professions, most of them would still stop offering a friendly hand to those who need it. More important, it is easy to strike up a conversation with the residents despite the perpetually busy lifestyle. This ensures that making new connections and expanding your social sphere would not be too difficult.

7.) RELAXED ATMOSPHERE

One inevitable consequence of living in a progressive and perpetually busy business district is always feeling rushed. However, this is not the case in Ortigas Center. In comparison to other business districts, Ortigas has a unique and relaxed atmosphere. You do not see people passing by while on their phones without regarding each other. In fact, your usual morning jog would treat you to a sight of residents leisurely walking their pets, children playing at the park, and even an occasional group of residents chatting with each other. In this regard, the ambiance is very laid-back compared to other major cities. More importantly, traffic is relatively more manageable, which mitigates the likelihood of pollution overload.
