Genevieve Homes boasts of a 24-hour security system (you may have seen him napping every so often), and is conveniently located near the neighborhood “sari-sari” store and outdoor café. Those with athletic inclinations will certainly enjoy a one-on-one game of basketball in Genevieve’s outdoor unisport complex; or they can take a stroll in its very precise, ten-plant garden. More than its old-world appeal, Genevieve’s real treasures are its tenants, some of whom have lived in the complex for what seems like forever.
