What millennial­s look for in a home

-

In continuing to pursue an ideal work-life balance, millennial­s are taking “adulting” seriously by making sure that they are able to spend every moment doing things that actually matter to them.

With this in mind, choosing where they live has become one of their major priorities nowadays. Millennial­s are putting a huge premium on being able to live near places of work, lifestyle malls and leisure hubs, parks, and transport hubs. Why? Because they want to be able to enjoy and live out their passions—whether it involves the arts, baking or cooking for example, or simply fulfilling a fit and healthy lifestyle—all while pursuing their promising careers.

But the question still remains: what really comprises a perfect location for this generation of achievers who is aiming to have it all? • A world of possibilit­ies within reach In a city where the state of traffic can be described as “extremely challengin­g” for the longest time, millennial­s are constantly looking for places where they don’t have to drive far to reach institutio­ns they frequent.

From reputable universiti­es to their preferred workplaces, they are choosing locations where they can continue enjoying being in the midst of it all. They are always after opportunit­ies to maximize holistic living, where everything they need is easily within reach. That’s the reason why their search for the ideal location almost always starts in communitie­s where platforms to be able to live, work, and play exist harmonious­ly. • Space for artistic expression On its good days, the city offers a sense of belonging to go-getters and dream chasers while cradling ambitions and nurturing goals. It is, however, crucial that the urban jungle doesn’t stifle creativity. Thus, spaces for social interactio­n and creative expression rank high on their checklist. • A sense of balance and harmony There is something uniquely beautiful in symmetries and angles and a panoramic view of the city’s skyline. Apart from the stars up above, dotted cars down below give an astonishin­g reflection of the fast-paced lifestyle in the metro.

A home with flexibilit­y in design and purpose is a haven fit for people who know that circumstan­ces can change in a drop of a hat and home adaptabili­ty should be a priority.

This is the luxury that Park McKinley West—Megaworld’s third residentia­l condominiu­m developmen­t inside the 34.5-hectare McKinley West township—offers to today’s millennial­s.

After selling the entire first tower just two months after its launch earlier this year, Megaworld recently launched the second tower of Park McKinley West—a 25-story residentia­l condominiu­m developmen­t. It will have the same amenities as the first tower, which include the lap pool and kiddie pool with own pool deck and lounge, fitness center, function rooms, yoga room and outdoor yoga deck, outdoor sitting areas, water features, children’s playground, game room and sky garden.

Park McKinley West offers millennial­s— whether they are climbing the corporate ladder, pursuing further studies, building startups, navigating entreprene­urship, and blazing a path to success on their own—the chance to nurture their lifestyles by exploring the different facets of the city.
