Why Pavia Is Becoming Iloilo’s Most Promising Place to Live

Pavia has grown into  one of the Iloilo City’s most attractive places to live. Its progress is shaped by improved  infrastructure, increasing economic activity, and a strategic location that keeps residents close to  the city while offering relief from its daily rush. For Ilonggo families who value staying close to  loved ones and maintaining strong community ties, Pavia offers a balance between progress and  comfort. 

As the town continues to grow, Property Company of Friends, Inc. (Profriends), one of the  country’s fastest-growing property developers, has helped shape communities that reflect modern  family living. Through well-planned residential developments such as Parc Regency Residences,  which began in Pavia in 2007, Profriends supports a lifestyle built on accessibility, security, and  connection, where kapitbahay naturally becomes kapitbuhay and neighborhoods grow into  supportive communities. 

With improved road networks, expanding employment opportunities, and daily essentials within  easy reach, Pavia has become more than a convenient address. It is a place where families can  establish routines, grow careers, and enjoy time together, supported by a town that continues to  create opportunities. 

Enjoy easy access to key destinations 

Pavia’s location makes everyday life simple for families. The town is just a short drive from Iloilo  International Airport and Iloilo City, with convenient access to major commercial districts such as  Mandurriao. Connectivity is supported by major road networks, including Benigno S. Aquino Jr.  Avenue, Iloilo Circumferential Road, Mali‑ao to Cabugao Road, Pavia Diversion Road, and Iloilo– Sta. Barbara Road, which link the town to nearby municipalities and surrounding areas. These  routes make daily travel between work, school, and leisure effortless. 

This ease of movement gives families more time at home, more shared meals, and more  opportunities to enjoy everyday moments together. With less time spent commuting, residents  can focus on what matters most: family, routines, and quality of life. 

Build careers while staying close to family 

Pavia’s growth goes hand in hand with expanding career opportunities. The town and surrounding  areas are seeing steady development in industries such as manufacturing and business process  outsourcing, attracting professionals and families looking for stable, long-term employment. 

Living near these employment hubs allows residents to minimize commute times and enjoy a  better work-life balance. This convenience makes it easier for families to stay connected at home  while pursuing their careers, creating a lifestyle where professional growth and family life can  thrive side by side. 

Access everyday essentials with ease 

Pavia makes it easy for families to access what they need every day. Schools, hospitals, shopping  centers, and dining options are all nearby, helping parents and children manage routines with  ease. The upcoming University of St. La Salle–Iloilo Campus in Pavia adds to this convenience,  reinforcing Pavia’s growing role as an education hub and giving families more quality schooling  choices close to home. 

With everything within easy reach, families can make the most of their time together—whether it’s  a quick trip for groceries, attending school events, or enjoying a meal out. Daily life in Pavia feels  practical, comfortable, and well-rounded. 

Living the Kapitbuhay way in Pavia 

Since establishing its presence in Pavia, Profriends has focused on building communities that go  beyond simply providing houses, guided by the same commitment it has long upheld in Cavite.  The goal is to create neighborhoods where families feel connected, supported, and part of  something meaningful. 

This vision takes shape at Parc Regency Residences, a thoughtfully planned estate designed to  nurture relationships and foster a strong sense of belonging. Open spaces, safe play areas, and  shared amenities encourage neighbors to connect and engage. Beyond physical spaces,  community events and youth programs help strengthen bonds, turning kapitbahay into  kapitbuhay. 

Life at Parc Regency balances everyday convenience with quality family time. Schools, hospitals,  shopping centers, and transport hubs are all within easy reach, allowing families to spend less  time on daily errands and more time creating memories together.

“Profriends believe that a home should nurture both life and relationships,” said Mary Pauline  Villagante, Business Unit Head of Profriends Iloilo. “At Parc Regency Residences, we are  intentional about creating spaces and experiences that help families connect—not just within their  homes, but with the people around them. When neighbors feel supported and involved,  communities grow stronger, and everyday living becomes more meaningful. This is how  kapitbahay naturally becomes kapitbuhay.” 

For families seeking a home that brings together comfort, accessibility, and genuine community,  Parc Regency Residences in Pavia offers a meaningful choice. It is a place where neighbors  become friends, children grow up in a supportive environment, and everyday moments turn a  house into a home. 

In addition to Parc Regency Residences, families can keep an eye on Monticello Intimo, one of  Profriends’ emerging developments in Pavia. While each community has its own unique features,  projects like Monticello Intimo reflect the town’s growth and offer prospective residents attractive  options for comfortable and well-connected living.
