Middle-income families and workers seeking affordable, accessible housing near employment make up the dominant buyer segment in Union.

Title verification at the local Registry of Deeds is an essential pre-purchase step.

Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
High flood risk in San Francisco is a serious consideration for buyers in Union. During typhoon season, significant flooding can occur. Key questions to ask before buying: Which months does this street flood? What is the average water depth? Has interior flooding ever occurred? How long does water typically take to recede?
Transport
The barangay road network in Union links to San Francisco's primary roads via concrete or asphalted barangay paths. Tricycles dominate the last-mile connection; jeepneys handle longer routes to San Francisco proper. Buyers evaluating this barangay should note the condition of the barangay road — unpaved roads can become impassable during heavy rain.
Amenities
Union has access to a local elementary school, barangay health center, and covered multi-purpose hall within the community. Larger amenities — wet market, high schools, hospitals, malls, and government offices — are concentrated in San Francisco proper.
Growth Potential
San Francisco is an established market, and Union reflects that. Properties are priced to reflect genuine local demand rather than speculation — making them relatively fair value for buyers who intend to live in or rent out their property over the medium term.
