Technology is something that people can’t do without nowadays. Almost everyone has a mobile phone and everyone can go online either in his own home or at the nearest Internet café.
Hence, imagine living in a community where Internet access is readily available not just inside your home but also anywhere in the village—whether it’s the neighbor’s place or the school premises or the village playground or the clubhouse or even the town plaza.
That’s exactly what Picar Development has in mind when it created Ara Vista Village, a master-planned mixed-use community covering a sprawling 50-hectare lot in General Trias, Cavite. Envisioned to be the very first Wi-Fi Town of its kind, it embraces the best of both worlds with its nature-inspired quality living amid a technology-based setting.
Futuristic living is no longer something you see in the movies. It’s already a reality at Ara Vista Village. As a Wi-Fi-enabled residential community, homeowners will have ready access to the World Wide Web there. Anywhere they are in the area, they can surf the Web, check their e-mail, chat and send instant messages.
Within the village, Ara Vista Village also includes a Peza-accredited Information Technology Park located in Phase 7 that also shares a park-life atmosphere similar to that of the main road. Tree-lined IT Park roads have a total width of two meters: one at each side. Residents should be able to get a Wi-Fi signal on their laptops or mobile phones anywhere in the community.
And speed is not sacrificed at the expense of accessibility. Even with multiple users connected at the same time, Internet service doesn’t grind to a halt. The developers at Picar have designed Ara Vista Village in such a way that no one should be deprived of a speedy bandwidth at any time they decide to go online.
All this high technology is also not necessarily out of place with the rest of the area. Picar is developing Ara Vista Village around an equally progressive town known for its close proximity to educational institutions like Lyceum of the Philippines, Philippine Christian University and De La Salle Medical School-Cavite, shopping complexes and industrial attractions like the Cavite Export Processing Zone, First Cavite Industrial Estate and Gateway Business Park.
The best thing about Ara Vista Village is that it’s not only a technology-friendly community that has just about everything the entire family needs in this information age, it also features the best that nature has to offer.
It all starts with the community’s very location. Just a few minutes’ drive from Tagaytay City, considered as the country’s second summer capital, Ara Vista Village belongs to “the cooler side of Cavite” as General Trias enjoys a similar climate. It certainly doesn’t hurt that Ara Vista is also 160 feet above sea level, which also makes it “flood-proof” by design.
Known for various developments located in key cities around the country, including high-rise condominium projects in Makati and Mandaluyong, Picar has designed Ara Vista Village to be a self-contained park-life community filled with lush landscaped areas, commercial spaces, sports facilities, a theme park and playground and schools that specialize in IT-based learning.
Residents will love waking up and coming back to a place where they are welcomed by a wide and fully landscaped entrance gate that blends seamlessly well with acacia and firewood trees alternately adorning both sides of the road. The main road itself has a bicycle lane where residents, young and old, can go biking—worry-free. The secondary roads, on the other hand, have a planting strip but narrower than the one at the main avenue providing trees that in turn can provide shade for hot days and cool breeze on colder weather.
All of these amenities do not in any way compromise the beauty and the comfort that one can find in any of the Ara Vista homes. The hectares of thoughtfully conceived and well laid-out bungalow and two-story houses are part and parcel of Ara Vista Village’s unique character. Phase 1 has Georgian-themed housing units and a mixed-use community development. Designed and intended for start-up families, the Classic House Collection consists of two bungalow varieties in Christine and Clara as well as a couple of two-story choices in Cielo and Angela.
On the other hand, the Premier House Collection is specifically designed for those with growing-up families. Offering more ample space, it has “Premier” versions of Christine, Clara, Cielo and Angela—all of which are accessible through wallet-friendly payment terms.
In Ara Vista Village, Picar has built an ideal park-life community where nature and technology blend seamlessly. It offers quality yet affordable homes in a progressive location and within a community that is orderly, full of amenities and loaded with potential and opportunities. It not only redefines the town of General Trias but also promises to be a landmark to watch out for in the whole of Cavite.
Whether one decides to live there right away, simply make a weekend getaway or prefer to utilize it for a future purpose, Ara Vista Village is a sound investment from the word “go.”
