Living in a coastal community surely has its charm. There is something calming about being able to witness the breathtaking views of the beach while listening to the waves crash. To have easy access to this is something a lot of people dream about. However, living the island life often means being away from the modern conveniences offered by urban areas, which can be a dealbreaker for some. Fortunately, you can have the best of both worlds in Lapu-Lapu City.
Comprising part of the Mactan Island in Cebu, Lapu-Lapu City is able to seamlessly integrate urban living within a coastal community. While it is home to popular beaches, the city has also witnessed development over the years as it now houses resorts, condominiums, and even retail areas.
Seaside living
One of the benefits of living in Lapu-Lapu City is being close to a number of beaches. Some of the most popular ones include the Maribago Beach and Punta Engaño, where luxury resorts are located. This allows residents to experience relaxed living as they breathe in the fresh air and enjoy stunning views of the sea. Living in a coastal community also encourages residents to pursue active lifestyles as the easy access to the beach may entice them to spend more time outdoors and pursue activities such as beach volleyball, paddleboarding, or even just jogging around the beach.
Connectivity and accessibility
Another advantage of living in Lapu-Lapu City is the accessibility it offers due to the presence of key infrastructure projects, the most notable of which is the Mactan-Cebu International Airport. Housing its own international airport makes Lapu-Lapu City a gateway to not only other portions of the Philippines, but also other countries. This makes the city more attractive to both tourists and investors alike.
Other important infrastructure projects in the city are the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge, which connects it to Mandaue City and the Marcelo H. Fernan Bridge, which connects it to mainland Cebu.
Urban development
Over the years, Lapu-Lapu City has developed into an urban hub as seen in the rise of office buildings, condominiums, and even shopping centers. With the strategic location and improved accessibility that it offers, it’s no surprise that a number of major property developers already have a presence in the city.
On top of this, Lapu-Lapu City also houses the Mactan Economic Zone (formerly Mactan Export Processing Zone), a 150-hectare industrial estate. The export zone plays an important part in attracting investments and generating employment.
Despite its urbanization over the years, Lapu-Lapu has been able to retain the charm of a laid-back coastal community, offering an easy lifestyle with further potential for growth. It is this unique blend of quiet living and modern conveniences that makes this city a standout.
