Filinvest City

**Emerging Southern Township** Filinvest City is a master-planned township developed by Filinvest Land in Alabang, Muntinlupa City. Positioned just adjacent to Alabang, it is designed as a mixed-use urban center with residential towers, office parks, retail strips, and generous open green spaces. It is significantly newer than BGC or Makati and offers a quieter, more affordable alternative to the dense inner-city districts while still providing modern amenities. **Planned Urban Design** The township is notable for its abundance of parks and greenery — Festival Mall is the anchor retail destination, and the surrounding open park areas host weekend events, outdoor concerts, and community fairs. The density is lower than BGC, buildings are generally mid-rise, and the streets retain a spacious suburban feel. It is popular with young Filipino professionals and families priced out of BGC and Makati. **School and Expat Context** Filinvest City is adjacent to several schools serving expat families in the Alabang corridor. While its expat population is smaller than BGC's, the township's improving retail and dining scene, affordable rentals, and proximity to major expressways make it an increasingly attractive option for budget-conscious expat families who want planned-community living without BGC pricing.
