Binictican

Former US officers' housing — suburban, leafy, and built for a long stay rather than a weekend.

At 642.55 hectares, Binictican Heights is the larger and better-equipped of the two residential districts in the zone: single-detached houses and duplexes, a golf course, a retirement village, an international school, parks and sports facilities. This is where the long-stay, residential character of the Freeport lives.
