Bel-air Village
- There are four separate villages called Bel-air 1,2,3 and 4 but
managed by one association. Its perimeters run along EDSA, Sen. Gil
Puyat Avenue, Nicanor Garcia and Kalayaan Avenue. Between Bel-air
Village 1 and 2 is Makati Avenue. What used to be residential units
along the perimeter of these villages are slowly turning into commercial
establishments. These Villages are the closest you can get to the
International School and to one of the newest commercial establishment
for the affluent shoppers, the Rockwell Center's "Power Plant".
These villages are also home to many expatriates.
