About Nonok Sur

Directional barangays (Silangan/East, Kanluran/West, Hilaga/North, Timog/South) typically share a similar residential character to their sibling barangays — split from a common central zone for administrative purposes. The barangay shares Maasin's overall market character, shaped by the city's position within Eastern Visayas (Region VIII). For OFW investors, Nonok Sur in Maasin represents a straightforward residential investment: house-and-lot units, townhouses, and low-rise condominiums at stable price points at accessible price points, with local families and employed workers looking for permanent, practical homes as the likely tenant base. Pre-selling and RFO units are the most common purchase vehicles.
