Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Flood risk in Santa Lucia is moderate, consistent with Puerto Princesa's overall profile. Parts of the barangay may accumulate water during strong rainfall, but full inundation is not the norm. Buyers should ask neighbors about their street's specific flood history and verify the property's elevation relative to nearby drainage canals.
Transport
Santa Lucia relies on Puerto Princesa's local transport system. Tricycles serve the barangay-level routes; jeepneys and multicabs link residents to Puerto Princesa's commercial district, public schools, and government offices.
