Pavia, once known as a quiet town just north of Iloilo City, has grown into one of the province’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.
