How Avida is shaping the future of family living outside Metro Manila

- RODMILL G. LOPEZ

Home in the South

Starting a family is never just about one thing. It's a mix of joy and worry—plus commutes, schools, house hunting, and more.

But what if it could begin with clarity, comfort, and a home that's ready for you, your kids, and your future selves? That's the life Avida Land is building in South Luzon.

Long seen as a weekend escape, the South is no longer just a leisure destination. It's fast becoming the next big place to live, with a surge of investments and infrastructure reshaping Cavite, Laguna, and Batangas into prime addresses. Roads like CALAX and SLEX now offer calm and convenience by making the South easily accessible. Communities like Nuvali and Vermosa are growing into eco-conscious hubs for young families, professionals, and returning Filipinos.

Raizel Matibag, Avida Land project development division head for South Luzon and VisMin, knows the shift firsthand. As a “Southie,” she gets why more people are packing up city life for greener horizons.
