Location Details
Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
The high flood-risk rating for Union reflects Gubat's broader situation. Properties near drainage canals, esteros, or low-lying terrain are most exposed. Buyers of upper-floor condominiums or elevated house-and-lot have significantly lower flood exposure — but should still verify that the building itself has not experienced foundation-level flooding.
Transport
Union connects to Gubat's road network via barangay roads. Local transport — tricycles for last-mile access, jeepneys and UV Express vans for onward connections — serves the community. Commute time to Gubat's commercial center ranges from 10–40 minutes depending on the barangay's distance from the main arterial road.
Amenities
Union residents have barangay-level services within easy reach — health center, barangay hall, and elementary school. Day-to-day groceries, medical consultations, and commercial needs are served by Gubat's main commercial district, accessible by tricycle or jeepney.
Growth Potential
Buyers in Union are entering a mature, stable market. Gubat's economic base sustains consistent residential demand. Capital appreciation is moderate but dependable over a 10-year horizon — more predictable than emerging markets, though without the same upside potential.

Is Union zoned residential or commercial?
