Buyers comparing Diamante against other Prieto Diaz barangays will find a similar offering of house-and-lot units, townhouses, and low-rise condominiums at stable price points. The deciding factors typically come down to lot size, distance from the main road, and the specific flood history of the property street rather than the barangay name.
