Living in suburban areas promotes a tranquil living experience. But
city people who are used to a fast-paced urban lifestyle have this mindset that
living in a quiet residential community is boring and slow. They imagine that a
quiet lifestyle makes everything less fun. As a person who used to live in the
city, I used to think that way, too. But now that I am living in Lancaster New
City (a project of PRO-FRIENDS
or Property Company of Friends Inc), I now know better. Allow me to share some
of the ways we have fun in LNC.
Unlike most city dwellers who sign up for gyms, suburban residents can
greatly enjoy the great outdoor environment for exercise and play. The air we
get to breathe while walking, running, jogging, weight lifting, dancing, or
practicing yoga is surely cleaner and fresher than the air-conditioned cramped rooms
of a gym. Plus, the environment can be enjoyed for free!
Luckily, we also have a clubhouse and swimming pool nearby. We won’t
need to travel far just to enjoy a cool pool. We also won’t need to compete
with so many people in reserving time slots for the use of tennis courts or
basketball courts.
In the city, the terrain is so cramped and the air is so polluted that
having a barbecue feels even more stuffy. But in Lancaster New City, we can
enjoy barbecue moments with family and friends without getting annoyed by
smoke.
There are community programs held every now and then and the new bonds
made by homeowners are really heartfelt. I’m not completely concluding that it
is not the same for city dwellers but the limited number of people living
together who share the same sentiments of enjoying peace and harmony really
ensure the closeness and warmth of a loving community.
We can still enjoy a night of drinks and chitchat through local pubs
outside the village (yet nearby). Although these are not clubs where you have
to wear flashy clothes and aim to be hip and modern, these pubs still allow
guests to enjoy the night with friends or new people over drinks and bar chow.
When it comes to shopping and watching movies, we may not have the
usual big malls like the ones in the city but we have Lancaster Square and
SunTech iPark for that. We can also go out of the village and go to the nearby
Robinsons or SM malls. Of course, we can still visit the city for those big
malls.
For events, we can hold that at Leighton Hall or Lancaster Square. There
are other event venues available outside of Lancaster, too. So I guess that
sums up on how we do not fall short on fun compared to the city lifestyle. I
hope this debunks the backward thinking that living in a residential community
is very boring.
