5765 Manila Avs
5765 Manila Avenue sits in a district where daily errands unfold entirely on foot. The address offers immediate access to Manila's historic core, where university campuses, markets, and tree-lined plazas anchor street life. With a Walk Score of 100, the property occupies a Walker's Paradise — every essential service lies within a short stroll. The surrounding blocks carry the texture of central Manila: pre-war facades, institutional architecture, and a commercial rhythm that runs from dawn through evening.
The area radiates outward from Plaza Miranda and Arroceros Forest Park, two green anchors in a densely built fabric. San Beda University and the University of the East define the academic character, while Manila Supermarket and Metro Market serve daily needs. Cafés like Starbucks I Tower Manila and Polland Hopia occupy ground floors; modest eateries cluster along the side streets. Transit options blanket the district, and the walk-everywhere layout means most residents navigate by foot. The neighborhood functions as a self-contained urban quarter, layered with both institutional gravitas and everyday commerce.
- The property scores 100 on the Walk Score index — a Walker's Paradise rating that places every errand within walking distance.
- Arroceros Forest Park, often called Manila's last lung, offers rare green space within a ten-minute walk, alongside the historic Plaza Miranda.
- Grocery options range from Manila Supermarket and Gaisano Grand to the Metro Market inside Lucky Chinatown Mall, all accessible on foot.
Walk Score® rates an address from 0–100 by how easily everyday errands — groceries, coffee, dining, school pickup — can be done on foot. 50+ means some errands can be walked, 70+ means most can, and 90+ is a rare walker's paradise. Transit and Bike scores read the same way for public transportation and cycling.
Lucas Lee, a Bay Area native who was born in San Francisco, has lived here his entire life. He grew up in Belmont CA, and him being here throughout his entire life has given him an in-depth understanding of the competitive Bay Area real estate market. Because he’s so familiar with the Bay Area, he brings a lot of value to the table with insight on neighborhoods, nearby amenities, school districts, and how a community operates. This background and knowledge allows clients to make informed decisions that will put them in a great position when buying or selling a home.
A factor that sets Lucas apart from every other Real Estate agent is that he got his degree in Real Estate from the University of Washington. The in-depth knowledge sets him apart and shows his passion, commitment, and difference in the field. Through his studies, he was able to build a strong foundation in property valuation, market analysis and dynamics, negotiation, and knowledge about all real estate transactions. The real estate profession didn’t begin through college though; his Auntie has been a lifelong real estate agent, and being able to see what goes on behind the scenes inspired him to become a professional himself.
In Lucas’ free time, you can see him at the Bay Club lifting weights and playing basketball. He brings the same energy to his clients as he does through hobbies; he brings a competitive edge and results driven approach. He also loves trying new restaurants and desserts with his partner!
