We have good friends, a Fil-Am couple, who bought an 800 sq meter lot in Lipa, Batangas in a nice gated subdivision developed by the Ayala Corporation aka AVIDA and built their retirement home there. The only problem, it's so difficult to navigate around town just to get to their place. When I asked them for detailed instructions to get to their place from the main freeway, they texted me a couple of pages I couldn't even decifer. So no, we can't find their place when ever they invite us over! We just politely decline their offer to come visit them.
BTW, we live in Sta Rosa, Laguna a 45 minute drive to Lipa, but once in town, I'm lost and GPS doesn't help, it's a maze around town to get to anywhere.
Ayala was also our developer and builder of our home 16 yrs ago. Our area has developed into a nice upscale community where everything we would ever need are just minutes away. We're happy and content where we live.
