The subdivision is divided into Forbes Park North and Forbes Park South by McKinley Road[2] and is bounded roughly by barangay Pinagkaisahan to the north, Bel-Air and Urdaneta Villages across Epifanio de los Santos Avenue to the northwest, Taguig (Fort Bonifacio which includes Bonifacio Global City) to the east, the Maricaban Creek to the south, and Dasmariñas Village to the west.[3] With an area of 2.5 square kilometers (0.97 sq mi), it is Makati's largest barangay in terms of land area since the transfer of the previous holder, Post Proper Southside, to Taguig in 2023.[4]
It was the first gated village in the Philippines to be developed by Ayala Corporation,[5] Forbes Park was a catalyst for urban development in Makati.[6] Forbes Park is home to the Manila Golf and Country Club and the Manila Polo Club. It has been called the "Beverly Hills of Manila"[7] and many of the country's wealthiest families, as well as foreign diplomats, live there.[8][9]
The Santuario de San Antonio Parish, a Franciscan church, and San Antonio Plaza, a small commercial center, lie between North and South Forbes Park. Meanwhile, the Church of the Holy Trinity, an Anglican-Episcopalianpro-cathedral, is just across the road.
