Neighborhoods

Initially developed for pilots of Philippine Airlines, Bel-Air has already come a long way. Despite being a private and gated community, it is accessible via major roads in Makati. Awarded for being the cleanest and greenest barangay in Makati for eight consecutive years and was inducted into the Makati Clean and Green Hall of Fame in 2005, its tree-lined streets are an indicator of its commitment to provide a healthy environment for its residents. Moreover, although it houses prominent establishments and lifestyle hubs, and is near the Makati Central Business District, it remains to be an orderly neighborhood. Its close proximity to the Makati CBD is notable; however, that does not affect the laid-back atmosphere Bel-Air has.

Bel-Air is famous for its hip restaurants and bars. Dining options offering local and international cuisines to satisfy cravings are plentiful and at hand. Residents can simply go to one on foot.

Public transport in Makati

Several bus lines and jeepney routes are available along Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue. It's a 3-minute walk from our condo entrance.

You can take a Bel-air - Washington jeepney going there & the jeepney conductors along Gil Puyat can also answer any additional questions you may have about routes. Rush hour in Makati can be hectic, so make sure you allot ample travel time in your schedule so you aren't late for any appointments. Alternatively, you can also try booking a GrabCar or Angkas ride to beat the traffic. (Just input Jazz Residences Tower B for the pick up point.) Have a safe commute! :)
