Would you prioritize lower price per sqm or better location/accessibility?

For example:
Property A — ₱3,000/sqm
• farther from town
• less developed surroundings
• cheaper upfront

Property B — ₱4,800/sqm
• closer to establishments
• easier road access
• more convenient for future use

Personally, I’m starting to realize that comparing land based only on price per sqm can be misleading.

What factors do you usually check before deciding that a piece of land is actually a “good deal”?

Would love to hear from people who have already bought property in Zambales.

I’m starting a little journey to really understand Iba, Zambales beyond the usual “quiet province + beautiful beaches.”
I’m looking into the real everyday stuff:
• Electricity & water
• Internet
• Transportation
• Healthcare
• Cost of living
• Flooding & typhoons
• Roads & development
• What it’s actually like to live here
I don’t want to rely only on Google or promotional posts. I want to hear from actual Iba locals.
If you live in Iba or Amungan, what’s one thing you think an outsider should know before moving here?
