About Buntalan
Buntalan is an established residential community in Maasin, serving the residential needs of local families and workers.

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.

Frequently asked about Buntalan real estate
Is it safe to buy property in Buntalan, Maasin?

Buyers should verify: (1) the specific property's flood history, (2) proximity to drainage canals, and (3) the barangay safety record from the local PNP station. For most end-users, property-level due diligence matters more than the barangay name.
How long is the commute from Buntalan to Maasin center?
Commute time from Buntalan to Maasin proper depends on the barangay's location relative to the main road. By tricycle and jeepney, expect 15–40 minutes. Private vehicle significantly reduces this. Ask the seller or nearby residents for a realistic daily commute estimate.
