Profile

A highly urbanized city with two legislative districts, Antipolo is located east of Marikina City of the National Capital Region and the town of Cainta. The towns of San Mateo and Rodriquez borders the city on the north while the towns of Tanay, Teresa, Angono, and Taytay are found on its southern border. The city shares its eastern border with Quezon Province. The city is around 29 kilometers east of Manila. It has a land area of 306 square kilometers. Most of the eastern part of the city consists of high mountains of the Sierra Madre Range and are sparsely populated. The western part consists of a plateau where the city proper is located and some rolling hills and river valleys.

The only city of Rizal province, Antipolo can be accessed via Marcos Highway, Sumulong Highway or Ortigas Extension from Pasig City, Metro Manila. A road leading to the southeastern towns of Rizal such as Teresa, Morong, Baras, and Tanay and further south to Laguna Province provides a breathtaking view of Laguna Lake and the Sierra Madre Mountains.

Business Opportunities

The city is an ideal place to build resorts, retirement subdivisions, and mass housing. Commercial complexes are needed considering the large population and the influx of tourists. The eastern mountainous areas can be developed as upland demonstration farms for bamboo, fruit and vegetable plantations.
