A Property from Crown Asia

Crown Asia is a company of Vista Land and Lifescapes, Inc.—the Philippines’ largest home builder—that creates communities for the nation’s upper-middle-income families and individuals. With various types of properties offered such as Condominiums, House and Lot, and Ready for Life mostly in the South, you have a variety of options to choose from. The decision boils down to you and your partner’s lifestyle. If you think you are not yet ready for a full-on brand new house and lot in Cavite or Laguna, then a Condo would be the best fit. Crown Asia has various condo properties for sale in different locations, such as in the province of Cavite, there is Meridian COHO in Bacoor, and Pine Suites at Tagaytay. Valenza Mansions is located in Laguna, and Hermosa COHO in Las Piñas.
But, on another spectrum of relationships, there are also partners who are fully ready to acquire a real estate property in the form of a house and lot. As such, Crown Asia also offers houses and lots for sale in Cavite, such as Amalfi and Caribe at the Island Park, Carmel, and Citta Italia, among many others. While La Marea and Fortezza are house and lot for sale in Laguna. For RFO properties though, there are Newberry and Hemingway at Carmel and Amber and Amethyst at Vivace.

On that note, Happy Valentines and cheers to eternal love for ourselves, and for our loved ones.
