Why frontage matters when you buy a lot
When you look at a lot, the area in square meters is only half the story. Frontage, the width facing the street, shapes what you can build, how easily cars get in and out, and how the finished home will look from the road.
Today's featured property, the Gen. Lim lot in Heroes Hills, Quezon City, has 670 sqm with a 20 m frontage and 33.5 m depth. A wide, regular shape like this gives architects room to plan a family home, a multi-unit build or a home with a generous garden, without awkward corners.
It also comes with an older but usable house of 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, so you can live in it or rent it out while you plan your design.
Buyer tip: before comparing prices per square meter, ask for the lot's frontage and depth, and check the title and the barangay's zoning. Ask our host or message Marc and we'll walk you through it.
