A Legacy Reimagined

At the heart of Parkville lies a deep reverence for Bacolod’s heritage. The iconic Sta. Fe Resort, once a beloved retreat where families gathered and traditions thrived, has been beautifully woven into the fabric of this modern development. Here, echoes of the past resonate in tree-lined avenues and serene landscapes, ensuring that nostalgia and innovation walk hand in hand.

A Landscape of Possibilities

Spanning 52 hectares, Parkville is a masterwork of thoughtful planning. The first horizontal project of SMDC in the Visayas, this exclusive lots-only community offers homeowners and investors the opportunity to balance nature and contemporary living. The average cut lot is 120 sqm, offering ample space for residents to create their own vision of home.

The journey into Parkville begins at a striking grand entrance—an architectural statement that embodies the spirit of modern Bacolod living. From the stately drop-off point, residents are ushered into the heart of the leisure club, where contemporary elegance and timeless comfort converge. Just beyond, expansive open spaces unfold, thoughtfully designed to serve as vibrant gathering places for families and guests. Every detail reflects Parkville’s commitment to creating not just breathtaking spaces, but a serene environment where life’s most extraordinary moments naturally take root.

It is also ideally situated near key facilities including hospitals, schools, the Bacolod-Silay Airport, and Bacolod Seaport Terminal, providing the perfect equilibrium between convenience and connectivity.
