DESPITE the growing trend toward urbanization, there still remains a large portion of homeseekers who value traditional family living—one that is comprised of expansive surroundings, intimacy with nature, interaction with neighbors, and comfort and security from the busy outside world.
Especially in developing provinces and regions, a suburban way of life is still very much prized and aspired for.
In Davao City one such community is quickly becoming the address of choice for young families wanting to take root in this vibrant hub of trade, commerce and industry in Mindanao.
South Grove is a sprawling 17-hectare gated village that provides, first and foremost, an enviable location right within the heart of the provincial capital. Located along the major thoroughfare of Quimpo Boulevard—very near the landmark Ecoland area in the city, residents enjoy access to all the vital establishments required for daily living.
Highly regarded schools, such as the Ateneo de Davao University, the University of Mindanao and Philippine Women’s College, are just a few minutes away, ensuring that children get the best education and learning. In terms of shopping and recreation, malls and shopping centers such as the NCCC Mall and SM City Davao are also nearby.
An exclusive haven
Most important, South Grove provides upwardly mobile professionals, executives and entrepreneurs in Davao with an enclave that nurtures all their aspirations for the good life.
The landscaped entrance gate sets the tone for the rarefied atmosphere of the community, with its distinctive design by Arch. Henry Gorospe. The clubhouse is another attraction, with its classic Mediterranean design that embodies the upscale atmosphere of the community.
A perimeter wall and a network of wide concrete roads with paved sidewalks and concrete curbs and gutters delineate the residential property parcels, and ensure safety and efficiency of movement throughout the village. An expertly engineered underground storm drainage system assures a flood-free environment.
Completing the South Grove experience is a wide range of amenities and facilities that encourage residents to enjoy life to the fullest.
The multipurpose clubhouse, with its centerpiece swimming pool, is the perfect venue in bringing together neighbors and guests for special occasions or community events.
