About Montserrat

Families relocating to Pilar from more expensive urban centers will find Montserrat offers house-and-lot units, townhouses, and low-rise condominiums at stable price points at comparatively accessible prices. middle-income families and workers seeking affordable, accessible housing near employment are the dominant buyer demographic, and rental demand from the same group supports investor entry.
