“A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.” –Aristotle
Known as the most sophisticated city in the Philippines, there are quite a lot of reasons why one would want to be billeted in Makati. Considered as the most coveted zip code, living in Makati has always been associated with an air of exclusivity and affluence that would intimidate most individuals. After all, the city is deemed to be the country’s financial and business hub so taking up residence there is inevitably going to be rather expensive. A Makati condo alone would set you back by quite a few millions. Apart from having some of the heftiest price tags of real estate in the country, you can expect some certain services to be a bit more exorbitant than they would have been in another part of town. An ordinary meal alone would be quite pricey, and even basic services such as a haircut would cut into your budget. However, all the prospective horrors of living in an incredibly expensive district are well compensated for in a lot of other aspects.
Choosing to live in Makati has its perks after all that you can even consider your zip code as an investment by itself as it would positively income your wallet. Just think of the potential savings you would make by not having to spend a lot (or at all) for transportation services as offices are just in proximity to the city. As a result, what you can potentially save from transportation alone would already offset the amount you will have to shell out for housing among others. Apart from transportation, here are some of the other benefits living in Makati City would afford you:
1.) Travel time to work is much shorter
One of the consequences in Makati living is not having to travel very far just to get to your office—provided that your office is located within Makati City of course. Of course, the nearer you are to your workplace, the shorter your travel time will be. In this regard, you would not have to wake up early just to get to your workplace. Moreover, navigating through traffic will be more of a breeze considering you can always choose to walk instead of drive to your destination.
2.) You have more time to be productive
As you have a lot of time spared seeing as you do not have to submit yourself to the hours of traffic onslaught, you effectively have more time on your hours. You can then use these extra hours to relax or enhance a skill or talent you have always wanted to pursue. You can learn to cook, have a rendezvous with friends or family in one of Makati’s shopping malls, do some house cleaning, complete errands and even take a side job and earn extra profit.
3.) You get sufficient sleep
Living in the metropolis subjects you to hours upon hours of traffic. When you live near where you work, you do not have to worry about this. In this regard, you do not have to go to bed late and leave very early. As a result, you can leverage your time. Living in Makati effectively mitigates your stressful routine as you are granted more hours of sleep. Moreover, having a restful night of sleep ensures that you will perform well (if not better) at work as you are focused and energized to take on the day.
4.) It is good for your health
You might be skeptical as to how this is possible, but if you broke down the benefits, it is actually a feasible benefit. A shorter commute would mean the elimination of stress which can significantly boost your health. Moreover, it gives you adequate time to focus on your health and fitness. In this regard, you may choose to walk or ride a bike to go to work. Alternatively, seeing as you have more vacant hours, this might finally inspire you to hit the gym.
