Location Details
Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Alicia's moderate flood-risk rating means Payongan warrants targeted buyer investigation: Does the specific street flood? How deep? How quickly does water recede? Answers vary significantly lot by lot. Properties on higher ground or near functioning drainage infrastructure are the safer choices.
Transport
Getting in and out of Payongan relies on Alicia's local transport network. Tricycles serve internal barangay routes; jeepney and multicab lines link the barangay to Alicia proper and regional transport hubs. Private vehicle ownership significantly reduces commute time for barangays further from the main road.
Amenities
Within Payongan, residents access a local health center and elementary school. The full commercial amenity set — wet market, pharmacy, private clinics, and hardware stores — is concentrated in Alicia's town center. Buyers should assess commute time to these facilities as part of their lifestyle due diligence.
Growth Potential
Alicia is an established market, and Payongan 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.
