Now that schools are slowly transitioning back to face-to-face schools, condo investing is one of the great gifts parents can give to their children attending college. Although students usually attend school for 4 to 5 years, paying for residential condominium units will take much longer. At first, it may seem like overspending. However, purchasing such properties has several significant benefits for parents and students.
Safety and Security
Usually, college is the time when students move out of their parent's homes and start living independently. As parents, it is crucial to ensure that the safety of their children is prioritized.
Condo living provides 24/7 security, including guards, CCTV, and other tools to protect residents. Additionally, some projects use cutting-edge security measures like RFID access cards to stop non-unit owners from entering the building.
The potential security concerns of sharing a dorm room or apartment with others are also eliminated by purchasing a residential condominium unit where students will live alone.
Proximity
Next to safety and security, proximity is also one of the advantages of condo living. It is also a priority for parents to ensure that their children will have a safe learning environment. Since college can be stressful, having a place nearby eliminates the frustrations a student can get from commuting. It also gives students more time to learn and discover more of their potential.
As condominiums have grown in popularity in Metro Manila, properties catered to students are being constructed in prime locations close to colleges. Some condo developments may even be closer to schools than most apartments and dorms, giving students an added convenience, just like condos in Taft that are close to universities like La Salle.
Investment
If the decision is made to leave the parent's home, a condo investment can give the recent graduate a head start on life by allowing them to continue living there. While waiting for siblings to enroll in the same college potentially, the apartment could also be rented out to generate additional income.
After the student graduates, the apartment may also be sold, with the possibility of a return on the investment given the rapidly increasing value of such properties. The parents can then use the money to purchase condos for their other children attending various colleges, or it can be given as a gift to the recent graduate.
