A legacy reimagined for modern suburban living 

Amy Remo

There’s a good reason why Susana Heights has always felt a little different from every other address in the South of the metro.

Step through its village gates and the noise fades, replaced by birdsong, wind through the lush trees, and the soft hum of suburban life that’s been unfolding here for decades.

Yet just a few turns away, the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) whisks you to the vibrance of the city, the convenience of the airport, or the freedom of a weekend escape—wherever you choose to go.

A green refuge

With its own SLEx exit, Susana Heights has indeed been a green refuge with a gate to practically everywhere. It actually offered the “suburban ideal” long before the catchphrase caught on, embodying the balance of space, calm, and connection that many now aspire to achieve.

And this is now shaping what would become one of the South’s prestigious enclaves: the 284-hectare Susana Heights estate, anchored by the existing Susana Heights Village. Its character—spacious, elevated, tree-filled, and timeless—sets the template for the suburban dream long before “living in the South” became a lifestyle statement.

Through this estate, Signature Series by SM Residences is set to reintroduce the neighborhood’s timeless charm to a new generation of homebuyers, enriching the community with improved access, amenities, and infrastructure while respecting the storied heritage of Susana Heights.

One of Susana Heights’ greatest draw is its balance, offering peace and access in equal measure.

Life in balance

Ask those who live here what they love most, and they’ll tell you it’s not just the greenery or the quiet. It’s also the ease of living that allows everyday conveniences to unfold effortlessly.

That’s because one of Susana Heights’ greatest draw is its balance, offering peace and access in equal measure.

For one, Susana Heights enjoys direct access to SLEx and proximity to key arterial roads like Skyway, the Manila–Cavite Expressway (MCX), and Daang Hari Road. From here, the rest of the metro and the South’s most beloved destinations are just a short drive away.

Within 10 minutes for instance, residents can be at Alabang Town Center or Molito Lifestyle Center for dining and shopping, while the metro’s central business districts (CBDs) are made conveniently accessible by the village’s link to major thoroughfares.

Families also appreciate the proximity to schools like San Beda Alabang, De La Salle Zobel, and PAREF Woodrose, while the Asian Hospital and Medical Center and other wellness hubs provide world-class healthcare within easy reach.

As for weekends, the cool slopes of Tagaytay City are less than an hour’s drive away, while the sunlit shores of Batangas offer an easy coastal escape. Numerous other leisure hubs surround Susana Heights as well.

The moment you turn back through the neighborhood’s gates however, the tone shifts completely. The air cools. Mature trees line the sidewalks, filtering soft sunlight onto quiet streets. Homes rest on spacious lots, often framed by well-tended gardens and flowering hedges, while verdant open spaces offering ample breathing room for the community.

It’s no doubt a kind of everyday luxury that goes beyond convenience, enabling residents to balance work, family, personal pursuits, and leisure.

Timeless fundamentals

Over the decades, Susana Heights has remained one of the South’s most desirable addresses. Its appeal has remained steady, its prestige, unmistakable.

Its reputation was built on timeless fundamentals: space, greenery, and a sense of community that never goes out of style.

The entry of Signature Series by SM Residences marks a defining moment for this storied estate.

Now, the entry of Signature Series by SM Residences marks a defining moment for this storied estate. The plans being laid down are distinctive but measured, and will reaffirm Susana Heights’ place among the South’s most distinguished communities.

As an initial offering, Signature Series is introducing build-ready residential lots ranging from 500 sqm to 900 sqm within the existing Susana Heights Village, a neighborhood developed by SM Group’s Intercontinental Development Corp. As its exclusive project marketing arm, Signature Series strategically positions this 104-ha village as your privileged gateway to the much larger Susana Heights estate.

By next year, Signature Series is set to unveil its flagship residential community within the Susana Heights estate. This new, exclusive and low-density enclave will feature more expansive residential lots ranging from 700 sqm to 1,100 sqm, translating to only 6.5 lots per hectare. This ensures privacy, space, and a suburban vibe amid a modern, sophisticated setting.

As it builds on the timeless strengths that have long defined Susana Heights, Signature Series refines the estate’s legacy—this time, for a new generation of discerning homeowners, creating refreshing spaces that offer modern comforts amid the serenity of suburban South.
