Imagine waking up each morning to the sound of happily chirping birds, filling your lungs with fresh, clean air, and basking in warm sunshine filtered by lush green treetops.

No, this isn’t a scene out of a Disney movie. We’re actually talking about real life.

All these—and more—can be had at The Arcadia, Pampanga’s newest residential community by Suntrust Properties Inc. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Megaworld Corp. and one of the country’s most trusted brands in the affordable market segment, Suntrust makes its mark up north through its maiden project in the culinary capital of the Philippines.

Nestled in Barangays Manibaug and Paralaya in Porac, Pampanga, The Arcadia offers the tranquility of countryside living complemented with the luxury and comfort of its modern contemporary homes and resort-inspired amenities. Here, one can easily take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and reset the mind and body amid Pampanga’s largest town. Residents at The Arcadia can easily delight in Porac’s rolling hills and mountainous terrain and escape to its pristine waterfalls and hot springs.

Future homeowners can choose from The Arcadia’s two-story single detached homes or townhouses in varying lot and floor areas. Residents need not worry about safety and security with landscaped entrance gates with CCTV, concrete sidewalks, streetlights, 24/7 security and a perimeter wall. The 22.6-ha masterplanned residential development is designed with shared spaces where families can bond and residents can cultivate lasting friendships within the community.

Among its amenities include a clubhouse and a wedding gazebo where families can celebrate their milestones, and a swimming pool with cabanas where friends can lounge after a long week at school or work. There’s also a basketball court for those friendly pickup games with the neighbors and a children’s play area where the little ones can meet playmates and make new friends. Residents who are in need of some alone time can head to a quiet spot at The Arcadia’s park and pocket gardens.

A commercial area at The Arcadia’s entrance guarantees that residents’ essentials are well within reach. Also within a short drive are SM City Clark and MarQuee Mall. Manibaug Libutad Barangay Health Center, Jose S. Lapid District Hospital, St. Ignatius Parish Church, La Salle Botanical Gardens, Holy Angel University, among others, are all less than 25 minutes away.

Clark International Airport is likewise 20 minutes away via Friendship Highway. Subic is an hour’s drive via SCTEX while Quezon City is a mere one and a half hour via the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx).

With numerous nearby destinations that cater to your business, educational, and leisure needs, combined with Suntrust’s unmistakable commitment to provide quality and affordably priced homes, The Arcadia is more than ready to be Pampanga’s home of the future.
