San Lorenzo carries a moderate flood-risk rating that buyers should take seriously without over-weighting. Seasonal flooding affects some parts of the barangay; other parts are comparatively dry. A flood-history check at the barangay DRRMO office, combined with a physical inspection of the specific lot, is the recommended approach.

Getting in and out of San Lorenzo relies on San Jose's local transport network. Tricycles serve internal barangay routes; jeepney and multicab lines link the barangay to San Jose proper and regional transport hubs. Private vehicle ownership significantly reduces commute time for barangays further from the main road.
