Retirement is that silver stage in our lives when we just want to savor every moment without the pressure of everyday work life. Whether you’re a retiree or a young professional eager to jumpstart your future life, investing on a property would be the next thing you need to do. Sure, setting up a business sounds good, but having a property under your name is a better investment since it can yield you the best return. And when it comes to real estate investments, the perfect example would be investing on condominiums.

Investing in a condominium may not sound appealing to you until you learn that a typical condo has a relative affordability and high price appreciation. Condos address the most common need of humans—the need for a sustainable shelter. In fact, several billionaires featured in the Forbes 400 list made their business empires from selling real estate. Besides, even if you’re not looking to liquidate your property, don’t you want to experience resort-style living in the comforts of your home?

So how do you choose a resort-style condo to invest on? Here in the Philippines, several high-end condominiums are currently making the rounds among investors. With a combination of excellent architectural design and world-class amenities, the real estate scene in the country has never been this healthy. To help you in  your condominium hunting, here is a list of eight condominiums that are definitely worth checking out.
