High Flood Risk
San Isidro's high flood-risk rating applies to Baunos. This does not mean every property floods equally — some streets and elevated lots within the barangay may have a strong safety record. But buyers cannot assume safety based on the barangay name alone. Verify at the property level using PAGASA flood maps and DRRMO records.
Transport

For long-distance travel, San Isidro's main bus terminal or transport hub provides connections to regional and inter-city destinations. Travel time to San Isidro proper is generally 15–45 minutes depending on traffic.
Amenities
Barangay Baunos provides its residents with a health center, covered court, and elementary school. For hospital-level medical care, buyers should identify the nearest district or provincial hospital in or near San Isidro. Commercial groceries and malls, if any, are located in San Isidro proper.

Buyer Questions
Frequently asked about Baunos real estate
How does Baunos compare to other barangays in San Isidro?
Within San Isidro, 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. Compare specific properties rather than barangay names for the most accurate evaluation.
Is it better to buy in Baunos or in San Isidro proper?
"San Isidro proper" typically refers to the Poblacion or central barangays — denser, pricier, but closer to amenities and transport. Baunos may offer more space for the same budget, at the cost of a longer commute to commercial areas. The right choice depends on your lifestyle priorities: proximity vs. space and affordability.
