Flood Risk
Moderate Flood Risk

Within Polo, residents access a local health center and elementary school. The full commercial amenity set — wet market, pharmacy, private clinics, and hardware stores — is concentrated in Alcantara's town center. Buyers should assess commute time to these facilities as part of their lifestyle due diligence.
