Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk
Taytay's moderate flood-risk rating means Poblacion warrants targeted buyer investigation: Does the specific street flood? How deep? How quickly does water recede? Answers vary significantly lot by lot. Properties on higher ground or near functioning drainage infrastructure are the safer choices.
