About Kasilawan
Kasilawan is a mixed residential neighborhood within Makati, Metro Manila. Residents benefit from the social cohesion of a barangay-scale community while having access to the wider city's commercial, medical, and educational amenities. Flood risk is a key due diligence item in Makati — verify the property's specific flood history before committing. For OFW investors, Kasilawan in Makati represents a straightforward residential investment: high-rise condominiums, serviced apartments, and premium house-and-lot in exclusive subdivisions at accessible price points, with corporate employees, expats, and high-net-worth buyers seeking prime urban addresses as the likely tenant base. Pre-selling and RFO units are the most common purchase vehicles.

Flood Risk
High Flood Risk
High flood risk in Makati is a serious consideration for buyers in Kasilawan. During typhoon season, significant flooding can occur. Key questions to ask before buying: Which months does this street flood? What is the average water depth? Has interior flooding ever occurred? How long does water typically take to recede?
Transport
Transport from Kasilawan to key destinations in Makati relies on the jeepney and tricycle network. The barangay road connects to Makati's arterial road, from which jeepney and UV Express services provide access to the city center, hospitals, schools, and public markets.
Amenities
Kasilawan has access to a local elementary school, barangay health center, and covered multi-purpose hall within the community. Larger amenities — wet market, high schools, hospitals, malls, and government offices — are concentrated in Makati proper.
Growth Potential
Kasilawan benefits from Makati's prime market positioning. Supply is constrained, demand is institutional, and pricing reflects genuine scarcity. Expect lower yields than emerging markets but significantly lower vacancy risk and more predictable appreciation — the established trade-off of a proven prime location.
