About Ilaya del Norte
Within Paete's barangay network in Laguna, Ilaya del Norte is a higher-lying area where flood exposure is typically lower than nearby lowlands.

The market here is primarily end-user driven, with middle-income families and workers seeking affordable, accessible housing near employment as the dominant buyer profile.
