Buyer Questions
Frequently asked about Santo Tomas real estate
How does Santo Tomas compare to other barangays in Aliaga?
Within Aliaga, barangay-level differences are primarily driven by: (1) distance from the city center — closer barangays command higher prices and better transport access; (2) elevation and flood history — higher barangays are generally safer; (3) proximity to schools and markets — a practical factor for families.

Is it better to buy in Santo Tomas or in Aliaga proper?
"Aliaga proper" typically refers to the Poblacion or central barangays — denser, pricier, but closer to amenities and transport. Santo Tomas may offer more space for the same budget, at the cost of a longer commute to commercial areas.
