Answers vary significantly lot by lot. Properties on higher ground or near functioning drainage infrastructure are the safer choices.
Transport
San Jose residents use tricycles for intra-barangay movement and jeepney or UV Express vans to reach San Nicolas's commercial and employment centers. Road access from the barangay to San Nicolas's main arterial road is the key infrastructure factor for buyers evaluating daily commute viability.
