Travel from Metro Manila to La Union will only take a maximum of three hours through the Tarlac -Pangasinan-La Union expressway (TPLEx). This 88.85-km expressway connecting Tarlac city to Rosario, La Union is a result of the ‘Build, Build, Build’ project of the current administration’s 10-point socioeconomic plan.

La Union remains a pleasing sight on social media with residents enjoying its fine beaches. Although coastal activities are limited until 30 April due to stricter lockdown measures, those living near the province can still visit its sights.

But La Union can be your regular escape from stress since there are interesting development projects.

Metro accessibility
Living far from the metro isn’t a problem for some because work-from-home and remote-learning setups are now part of new-normal living. When trips to the metro are inevitable living in La Union won’t be a problem.

Travel from Metro Manila to La Union will only take a maximum of three hours through the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union expressway (TPLEx). This 88.85-km expressway connects Tarlac to Rosario, La Union.

An additional 59-km expressway is also being planned to connect Rosario to San Juan, La Union, the hotspot of beaches.

Mall, village, condo
Thus, your escape shouldn’t be disappointingly short in this laidback coastal town.

Robinson’s Land Corp. (RLC) will open a mall in San Fernando, La Union this year. This is part of the developer’s efforts to give La Union residents access to essential goods usually found only in the metro.

For those wishing to live a better life by the beach, Lumina San Juan will house future residents in an eight-hectare community. House and lot units by Lumina are for young families.

Condominium living is likewise ideal in La Union with Aureo’s Seapark Residences. The nature-inspired architecture and interiors of its units are fit for the serene La Union life without sacrificing the contemporary elements offered by a condo lifestyle.

Transients
To live in La Union is a dream, but it’s also a practical option especially for residents of cramped urban areas. Hostels in La Union are now offering monthly accommodations.

Take a breather by Flotsam and Jetsam or Rada Hostels and get a taste of the coastal lifestyle. Both hostels offer a rustic and cozy environment and are also known for great customer services — everything by the beach.

Living by the beach might be the next trend especially now that people are doing almost everything at home. But on top of this, the attraction of surrounding coastal areas is a great offer of a serene lifestyle.
