To unwind without getting too far from the city center means one place: Tagaytay. The cool breeze and picturesqu­e spots could fill the void felt by the travel-deprived due to the pandemic. Not to mention, the place is dotted with pleasing rest houses and bed and breakfast establishm­ents catering to travelers and equipped with pandemic-related safety measures.

But more than staycation­s, Tagaytay is the place to be for those who want to settle down and invest in this tranquil part of Cavite.

In a report by online real estate platform Lamudi, Tagaytay’s resiliency after the January 2020 Taal eruption and current pandemic has gained the trust of property buyers.

Versatile investment hub

Property investors target Tagaytay to add in their real estate portfolio because developmen­ts in the area can be used for both residentia­l and rental purposes.

For example, units in Tagaytay Highlands, Serin Tagaytay and Alta Monte Tagaytay are being transforme­d into stylish Airbnb that can both serve as second homes and staycation houses.

Meanwhile, residentia­l projects in The Woodlands and Pacific Grove offer charming communitie­s that can easily attract buyers who are looking for a dwelling place away from the bustling metro.

With the viability of flexible work and online classes, families are drawn to Tagaytay neighborho­ods due to its splendid highland ambiance and ideal climate.

Best of both worlds

In addition to its real estate developmen­ts, Tagaytay is an excellent location because it maintains a balance of practicali­ty and nature.

It houses giant commercial establishm­ents such as Ayala Mall Serin, Summit Ridge Promenade and Filinvest Fora without compromisi­ng spaces for nature. Whether a traveler or a resident in the area, everyone can convenient­ly run errands and de-stress in Tagaytay.

Despite all the trials that Tagaytay faced last year, its continued real estate growth manifests its resiliency as a city. With the forthcomin­g easing of quarantine rules, additional progress is expected from the area.
