SJDM got its name from Saint Joseph, a saint who some hunters saw upon the forests of this land. Thus the name San Jose Del Monte. Since then the city has continued to develop. More infrastructures are starting to rise, more people are coming over. Find out why people are choosing to relocate from this suburban area from one of the oldest provinces in the Philippines.

By living in SJDM, you can already reach Quezon City in 15 minutes. Reach Makati in an hour (without traffic) by car or by bus. There are many modes of transportation to choose from: car, taxi, bus, and jeepneys. By living in this city, you can reach Metro Manila in a snap.

Another intriguing factor to consider is the MRT 7 that’s supposedly going to be linked to Bulacan. The 22-km rail system is reportedly going to run from the North Avenue and EDSA to Quezon City and to SJDM. When this is already built, it will be easier to many people to transport from the city to this province in less than a minute.

Real Estate Opportunities

SJDM first became popular because of the sudden boom of subdivisions that have sprouted in the said area. Developers like Camella and Driven have tons of properties, mostly subdivisions, that arose in SJDM. No one can really blame the developers from seeing the real estate opportunities. Aside from its vicinity from the Metro, SJDM oozes with simplicity and laid-back charm, the perfect break from the hustles and bustles of Manila.

An exciting development happening in SJDM is the Avida’s Altaraza. This community not only have residential buildings – it’s also going to have malls, hospitals, and BPO companies in its arsenal. You no longer have to leave the province to enjoy the opportunities of the Metro!

The reason behind the fast-growing industry in this area is the sudden development of various malls and BPO centers. In Palmera, we have Starmall, a family-centered mall filled with entertainment. It also has an extension that will soon cater to more BPO companies. Another exciting news is the soon-to-open SM San Jose Del Monte.
