About Santiago I
The barangay of Santiago I in San Pablo is an established residential community.

Buyers comparing Santiago I against other San Pablo barangays will find a similar offering of house-and-lot units, townhouses, and low-rise condominiums at stable price points.

Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk

Commute time to San Pablo's commercial center ranges from 10–40 minutes depending on the barangay's distance from the main arterial road.
Amenities
