Only three projects on our list are verified inside Cebu IT Park: The Wave Towers, 38 Park Avenue and Avida Towers Riala. “Near IT Park” covers very different places — flat Lahug and Apas side streets just west of the park, the Nivel Hills hillside further up, and other barangays such as Kasambagan. The trade-off: inside the park you get the shortest, most predictable trips to its offices, shops and restaurants, along with its evening activity. Nearby, you may find a quieter street, a different developer or more space for the money, but the daily trip depends on which “near” you choose.
Key points
- Cebu IT Park is an Ayala Land estate on the old Lahug airport site. Addresses inside it give Apas or Lahug as the barangay, so a barangay name alone does not tell you whether a building is inside.
- Inside: The Wave Towers, 38 Park Avenue, Avida Towers Riala. Their full details are on our Cebu IT Park condos page.
- Flat Lahug–Apas streets west of the park (St. Lawrence, La Guardia) can be walkable, but the mapped route detours via Salinas Drive.
- Nivel Hills and Sanson Road projects are about a kilometre or more away and uphill — short-drive addresses for most people.
Where IT Park is, and what counts as inside
Cebu IT Park is a master-planned Ayala Land estate of about 27 hectares, built on the site of the former Lahug airport. Its mall is Ayala Malls Central Bloc — not to be confused with Ayala Center Cebu, which is in Cebu Business Park. On OpenStreetMap, the park’s south edge runs along Salinas Drive, its east side faces Gov. M. Cuenco Avenue, the residential streets of Apas lie to the north (reached via San Miguel Road), and the La Guardia–St. Lawrence streets of Lahug lie to the west.
A building is inside the park only if the developer’s address places it there — for example, on one of its internal streets such as India Street or Jose Maria del Mar Avenue — and it sits within the estate on a map. “IT Park area” or “minutes from IT Park” in a listing means it is outside.

The flat Lahug–Apas streets just west of the park
The closest residential alternatives are on narrow streets west of the park: St. Lawrence Street, La Guardia Street and La Guardia First Street. On a map they look next door. On foot, the mapped route goes down La Guardia Street to Salinas Drive and enters the park at Geonzon Street, because no public street is mapped from this side directly into the park. Our walking-distance guide gives measured route distances and a self-check.
The hillside: Sanson Road and Nivel Hills
West and uphill of the park, the Sanson Road area and the Nivel Hills slope along Veterans Drive offer lower-density projects and elevated views, but not an easy walk. On OpenStreetMap data, 32 Sanson by Rockwell is about 1.0 km and Marco Polo Residences about 1.1 km in a straight line from the park’s nearest edge, and the trips involve climbs. If you would commute into IT Park daily, try the trip by car or ride-hailing at your actual commute hour.
The trade-offs that matter day to day
| Factor | Inside the park | Flat Lahug–Apas streets | Hillside (Sanson, Nivel Hills) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trip to park offices and shops | Internal streets with many mapped pedestrian crossings | Walkable for some, via Salinas Drive | Usually a ride |
| Evening activity and noise | Restaurants, food areas and offices nearby; check from the unit’s side at night | Quieter streets, but check for nearby bars, construction and traffic on Salinas Drive | Generally away from the park’s activity; check traffic on Veterans Drive |
| Price | Entry studios from ₱5M (Avida Riala) to ₱7M (Wave Towers) on our pages | Entry units from ₱4M–₱5M on our pages | From ₱6M (Marco Polo) and ₱8M (32 Sanson) on our pages |
| Space and density | Mostly high-rise; compact units are common | Mid- to high-rise on small lots | Includes low-rise (32 Sanson) and large-site towers |
Do not read too much into “from” prices. A studio inside the park and one nearby can differ in size, floor, finishes and parking, so compare like with like: the same unit type, price per square metre, and what the contract includes.
Addresses to double-check
- Shang Bauhinia Residences is in Kasambagan, on Gov. Cuenco Avenue at Bauhinia Drive. Shang Properties describes it as minutes from IT Park. It is neither inside IT Park nor inside Cebu Business Park.
- Yello City is listed on our project page at Salinas Drive, Lahug, but labelled Mandaue City — a mismatch. Get the exact site from the developer.
- Mandtra Residences, which some listings group with IT Park, is in Tipolo, Mandaue City. See our Mandaue guide.
How to choose between inside and near
- Where exactly will you go every day — an IT Park office tower, a school, a hospital, the mall? Start there.
- Would you walk, or ride anyway? If you will ride, a nearby or hillside address may offer more for the money.
- Visit at 9 p.m. on a weekday and on a Saturday to judge noise from the unit’s side.
- For a rental, ask who your likely tenant is and what similar units nearby are actually leasing for, from current listings — not from a brochure.
- Get current, dated price lists for each shortlisted unit and compare price per square metre for the same unit type.
Frequently asked questions
Which condos are inside Cebu IT Park?
Of the projects on our list, The Wave Towers (Cebu Landmasters with NTT UD Asia, on India Street), 38 Park Avenue (Cebu Landmasters with El Camino Developers) and Avida Towers Riala (Avida Land) are inside the park. Our Cebu IT Park condos page covers them in detail.
Is Nivel Hills close enough to walk to IT Park?
For most people, no. Projects on Nivel Hills and Veterans Drive sit on the hillside above Lahug. On OpenStreetMap data, Marco Polo Residences is about 1.1 km in a straight line from the park’s edge, and the route includes a climb. Treat these as short-drive addresses and test the trip at your commute hour.
Are condos inside IT Park always more expensive than nearby ones?
Not necessarily, at least on entry prices. On our project pages, studios at Avida Towers Riala inside the park are listed from ₱5M, similar to several nearby Lahug buildings. Compare the same unit type by price per square metre using current dated price lists; “from” prices only show the cheapest unit.
Is Yello City near IT Park?
Our project page gives its address as Salinas Drive, Lahug, but also labels it Mandaue City, which does not match — Salinas Drive is in Cebu City. Ask the developer for the exact site and location map before treating it as an IT Park-area address.
Compare an inside-park unit with a nearby one
Pick one project inside IT Park and one or two nearby. We will request current price lists and send a dated comparison of the same unit type — price per square metre, parking, equity schedule and turnover — plus the route you would use to get into the park.
