About the Neighbourhood
Camella Leyte Phase 3 is situated in a hilly terrain with abundant greenery and pine-tree lined roads. The neighborhood is secluded from the bustling city center but conveniently accessible to essential services including shopping centers, hospitals, schools, and government institutions. The area has a cooler climate compared to other locations in the region due to its elevation. The community is known as a peaceful and quiet residential enclave with predominantly middle to upper-middle class residents.
Flood Risk Information
The subdivision has experienced flooding issues during heavy rainfall and typhoons. Multiple resident reviews mention drainage system problems and flooding concerns during heavy rains, though some areas (particularly Phase 3) have better elevation. Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) impacted the region in 2013, and residents have reported ongoing drainage and flood mitigation concerns in certain phases of the development.

Peaceful and quiet neighborhood. Does not flood during heavy rains. Upper middle class residents. Good security with 24-hour roving guard.
Nice subdivision but poor drainage system causing flooding during heavy rains
Very nice and clean! Quiet neighborhood. Nice setup of houses.
Good subdivision but watch out for rains because flooding is inevitable during heavy downpours. Residents complain about lack of comfort due to floods.
Private subdivision with modern townhouses and detached properties. Good swimming pool, attractive gardens, and reliable gate security. One of the best in Tacloban/Palo area.
Very child-friendly community. Like having a park right at your doorstep.
Nice place to live in.
The pinned location is not Phase 3, it is Phase 2. Poor after-sales service. The place always gets flooded during heavy rain.
Good security compared to other subdivisions, but houses in Phase 1 near Maharlika Highway are flooded during storms.
