Why Acacia Estates feels like an 'oasis' for this young family

For Ronald and Roxy, home is more than just a space—it’s a lifestyle. Nestled in the heart of Acacia Estates in Taguig City, their unit at Verawood Residences by DMCI Homes offers the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility they had long envisioned for their family. 

“It’s an oasis,” Roxy fondly describes their community—a peaceful escape tucked within the bustling metro. The couple first discovered Verawood Residences in 2012 when they rented a unit for a weekend staycation. Captivated by the serene atmosphere and resort-style amenities, they knew it was a place worth coming back to. 

A visit to a friend in Acacia Estates in 2019 made them realize it was the home they had been searching for. By 2021, they had moved in. Today, the couple and their daughter enjoy life in one of Acacia Estates’ vibrant enclaves, fully embracing the community’s unique charm. 

“We were expecting our baby at the time and really wanted a place with open, green spaces,” Ronald shares. “Acacia Estates was perfect for that.” 

Suburban Comfort in the Metro 

What sets Acacia Estates apart, the couple says, is how it seamlessly blends the comforts of suburban living with the advantages of being close to key urban hubs. Just a short drive away from Bonifacio Global City and Makati, the estate’s strategic location means the couple doesn’t have to sacrifice convenience for peace and quiet. 

And even with a work-from-home setup, everything they need is within reach. “There’s a supermarket within walking distance, plus coffee shops and restaurants nearby,” says Ronald. “You can live comfortably without needing to leave the community.” 

Family-Friendly and Fitness-Focused 

Raising a child in Verawood Residences has been a joy for Ronald and Roxy. Their five-year-old daughter loves the swimming pool and open gardens, often playing outside with other children her age. The sense of community, they say, gives them peace of mind. 

“Sometimes we just let her play downstairs and we’re not worried,” Roxy shares. “Everyone—from the guards to the maintenance team—knows each other. It feels safe, like a big extended family.” 

As fitness enthusiasts, the couple also appreciates how the community supports an active lifestyle. Roxy enjoys her yoga sessions, while both participate in fun runs and community fitness events organized within Acacia Estates. “Ang dami ring yogis sa area!” she beams. “It really feels like a haven for families like ours.” 

An Ideal Investment 

Beyond the lifestyle benefits, the couple views their decision to buy in Acacia Estates as a smart investment. The community remains as beautiful and well-maintained as when they first saw it, a testament to DMCI Homes’ quality and commitment. 

“I think this is the ideal space for young families, or even retirees who want to live in a peaceful, low-maintenance environment,” Roxy reflects. “It’s the perfect balance of city life and suburban living.”
