About Lumatab
Within Maco's barangay network in Davao de Oro, Lumatab is a working-class residential community. The barangay reflects a typical residential development pattern — houses fronting barangay roads, with sari-sari stores and small home-based businesses along the main access route. Flood risk here is low — a practical advantage during typhoon season. Single-family homes, townhouses, and affordable condominiums are the main property types available in Lumatab. The market here is primarily end-user driven, with families, workers, and long-time residents seeking stable, accessible housing as the dominant buyer profile. Buyers should verify lot titles and confirm drainage conditions before committing.
Location Details
Flood Risk
Low Flood Risk

Transport
Lumatab connects to Maco's road network via barangay roads. Local transport — tricycles for last-mile access, jeepneys and UV Express vans for onward connections — serves the community. Commute time to Maco's commercial center ranges from 10–40 minutes depending on the barangay's distance from the main arterial road.
Amenities
Lumatab 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 Maco proper.
Growth Potential
The established growth rating for Lumatab indicates a market where demand comes from genuine end-users — local families, workers, and retirees — rather than investors chasing appreciation. This typically results in fair pricing and lower long-term vacancy risk for landlords.
