The best thing about this area is its accessibility. Rosal Street, where this unit is, is sandwiched by different bus terminals: HM Transport (Cubao and Alabang buses), Jac Liner/LLI (Cubao and LRT Buendia buses), and Saint Rose (BGC, Makati, and Manila P2P buses). It's also just behind SM Calamba so you'll have endless options for food and shopping. For a taste of local food, I highly recommend Nid's Balot - it's just across the highway!

You can also take a two-minute tricycle or jeepney ride to D'Fresco building (just before the stoplight intersection at Halang/Capitol Extension) and dine at Buddy's (my favorite is their signature Pancit Lucban). Or go to the second floor and have unlimited Korean barbecue at Yummysamgyup (the unli-chicken, pork, and beef package is currently Php 549)!

I live close by and one of my favorite finds along Ipil-Ipil Street is Karak Anatolia. They sell authentic Turkish kebab, either in saj bread or with rice (my favorite is chicken kebab!). I highly recommend their cold karak, too; the owner gave me a free glass of it while waiting for my food. There are lots of good coffee places in the area, too. Two of my favorites are Morgan's (right by the national highway) and OJ's Brew (along Ipil-Ipil Street). The area is close to a university/college, so there are lots of budget-friendly food options too. For anything fast-food, Jollibee and Domino's are close too.

Centtro Residences is in an ideal spot in Elbi (Los Baños, my hometown). The building itself has a supermarket and some food options (Bonchon, Cafe Ella), but my favorite Elbi Gems are just along Grove itself. Walk towards the UPLB Gate and you'll find Cafelandia, which has the best-tasting tapsilog in town, IMHO. You can also turn right on F.O. Santos where one of my favorite coffee spots, Forty Thirty, is located! If you like to have a laid-back afternoon, make sure you enter the UPLB campus and visit Freedom Park. For a nice, hearty meal, you can take a quick jeepney ride to Junction and dine at Laksarap So Good (they temporarily closed but reopened in October 2023).
