What does a home need to offer a family over the years? The answer may change as children grow up, parents get older, or relatives return to the Philippines. That question is at the heart of Camella Praverde, a residential community in Dasmariñas City, Cavite, that recently received two honors at the Dot Property and Lamudi Philippines Real Estate Awards 2026.
The development won Best Multigenerational Housing Development and the People’s Choice Award for Project of the Year. The recognition puts a spotlight on a way of living familiar to many Filipino families: staying connected while making room for each generation’s own plans.
Why multigenerational housing matters to Filipino families
Living close to family can make daily life easier. Grandparents may help care for children, adult children can check in on parents, and relatives can share responsibilities. Closeness does not always mean living in the same house. Some families may prefer separate homes within reach of one another, giving everyone more privacy and independence.
Research by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies shows how household arrangements have shifted. Nuclear households made up about 71% of Philippine households in 1990 and 61% in 2020. Over the same period, the share of extended and multifamily households rose from about 25% to 29%. Those figures describe people sharing a household; families living in nearby separate homes are another possible arrangement.
A community in Dasmariñas designed for changing priorities
Camella Praverde spans 11.6 hectares in Dasmariñas City. According to Camella, its location provides access to major roads, schools, shopping destinations, and healthcare facilities. The developer also highlights security features and lifestyle amenities within the community.
Those features can matter in different ways over time. A young professional might focus on travel to work, while parents with children may look at nearby schools and places to spend time together. Later, access to medical care and proximity to relatives may become more important. Camella presents Praverde as a community that can accommodate these changing needs without assuming every family will live the same way.
For buyers considering a house and lot in Dasmariñas, the awards offer one point of reference. Practical questions still matter: the specific home layout, travel times, current amenities, total purchase costs, and whether the location works for the people who would live there.
What the two awards recognize
The Best Multigenerational Housing Development distinction recognizes Praverde’s approach to housing for families at different life stages. Its People’s Choice Award for Project of the Year adds a separate public-vote honor. Together, they draw attention to a development built around both family connection and personal independence.
For Camella, the recognition is also part of its history of building residential communities across the Philippines. For prospective homeowners, Praverde’s appeal comes down to a more personal question: can the place support the life they have now and the family arrangements they hope to build in the years ahead?
