When someone says “Let’s go to the South”, some certain top-class cities come into mind – one of them being, of course, Santa Rosa City.

There are many reasons why people have been marveling about this city. If you are considering buying a new house and lot for sale for you and your family to call home, this city should be at the top of your list.

Santa Rosa City, the second-largest government unit in Laguna after Calamba, is a first-class city located west of Laguna de Bay. 

Santa Rosa City, has a rich history

Named after the famous body of water forming its northern boundary, the province of Laguna is a place imbued with history and patriotism. Besides notably being the birthplace of the country’s national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, Laguna has also ridden the tide of globalization and technological innovation across the centuries. Back in 1688, Santa Rosa was known as Barrio Bukol, before being politically emancipated as the municipality of Santa Rosa on January 15, 1972—named after Saint Rose of Lima.

During the post-war era, until the 70s, the small community of Sta Rosa depended largely on basic agriculture and family-owned enterprise for their livelihood—but with the 80s came the entry of industrialization and fast-paced economic transformation. The once picturesque Hispanic town of Bukol has gone a long way. The city holds not only the remnants of the Philippines’ embattled past but also some great economic opportunities in the present day.

Coined as the Lion City of the South, its indeed economy is vibrant and booming, and, so to speak, roaring like a lion. It is one of the fastest-growing economies in the Philippines.

Three years into its conversion as a city, Santa Rosa reached a P1-billion income. Now, more than a decade later, the influx of foreign and local investors who take interest in the City of Santa Rosa allowed it to more than double its yearly income. This is something that the city government enjoy because it improves the overall economy of the city.
