Flood Risk
High Flood Risk

Buyers of upper-floor condominiums or elevated house-and-lot have significantly lower flood exposure — but should still verify that the building itself has not experienced foundation-level flooding.
Transport

For long-distance travel, La Paz's main bus terminal or transport hub provides connections to regional and inter-city destinations. Travel time to La Paz proper is generally 15–45 minutes depending on traffic.
Amenities
Benben barangay residents have access to standard community-level amenities: elementary school, health center, and multi-purpose hall. Larger institutional amenities — secondary schools, government hospitals, and commercial centers — are available in La Paz proper or the nearest urban center in Leyte.
Growth Potential
Benben's established growth profile means property values are stable and demand is steady. This is not a high-growth speculative market — it is a reliable one suited to buyers who want a home that holds value without dramatic risk. End-users dominate over investors.
