Available units in Bistekville 1
Bistekville 1 is located in Barangay Payatas, a residential neighborhood approximately 5 kilometers from a former garbage site. The area has been transformed into a secure community with paved roads, drainage systems, and basic utilities. The neighborhood provides a safe residential environment for families previously living in danger zones and informal settlements.
The project was specifically designed for relocation from danger areas and waterways. The site was selected to provide safety from flood-prone areas where beneficiaries previously lived. Located in Payatas, the area has developed infrastructure including drainage and sewerage systems.
