Location Details
Flood Risk
Low Flood Risk

Transport
The barangay road network in Kagitingan links to Baguio's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to Baguio proper. Buyers evaluating this barangay should note the condition of the barangay road — unpaved roads can become impassable during heavy rain.
Amenities
