About Tabon
Buyers exploring San Isidro in Leyte will find Tabon to be a community-oriented residential barangay. Flood risk is a key due diligence item in San Isidro — verify the property's specific flood history before committing.

Buyers comparing Tabon against other San Isidro barangays will find a similar offering of house-and-lot and townhouse developments serving end-user demand. The deciding factors typically come down to lot size, distance from the main road, and the specific flood history of the property street rather than the barangay name.
