The development of BF Homes Subdivision began in the early 1960s, spearheaded by Banco Filipino founder Tomas Aguirre. His vision was to create a self-sustaining community that would offer a peaceful, residential environment combined with all the necessary amenities to meet the everyday needs of its residents.

At the time, BF Homes was the largest subdivision in the Philippines, sprawling across 765 hectares, making it one of the earliest and most significant examples of gated suburban living in the country. Initially, BF Homes primarily catered to middle and upper-middle-class families, offering an alternative to city living with its spacious homes and tree-lined streets.

The subdivision quickly gained popularity due to its integrated design, which included residential areas, parks, schools, commercial establishments, and even its own church. By the 1970s, BF Homes was already well-established as a prime residential area in Parañaque, known for its peaceful environment and community-focused lifestyle.

During the 1980s and 1990s, BF Homes expanded even further, attracting more families and establishing its reputation as a key residential hub in Metro Manila. Over these decades, additional amenities were developed, such as shopping centers, restaurants, clinics, and recreational facilities, making BF Homes not just a residential area but a self-contained township.

The barangay’s strategic location—close to major highways such as Sucat Road and the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX)—further contributed to its growth. Its accessibility made it an attractive option for commuters working in Makati, Alabang, and other parts of Metro Manila.

The 2000s marked an important milestone when BF Homes Subdivision was officially declared a barangay in 2002 under City Ordinance No. 01-05, creating Barangay BF Homes. This gave the community greater local governance, ensuring that the needs of its residents were more directly addressed. The newly established barangay government began focusing on improving infrastructure, enhancing safety, and fostering a strong sense of community.

Today, Barangay BF Homes remains one of the most successful examples of suburban living in Metro Manila. It continues to be one of the largest barangays, with a population that exceeds 100,000 residents, making it comparable in size to a small city. Its growth and success have inspired the development of other suburban communities in the Philippines.

In recent years, the barangay has focused on modernization and urban management, improving its facilities while maintaining the tranquility that has long been its hallmark. It is known for its green initiatives, including tree-planting programs, waste management, and community-led efforts to protect the environment.

The community is built around core Filipino values such as Bayanihan (communal unity), with residents actively participating in civic programs, neighborhood watches, and environmental protection efforts. It remains a family-centric community, with numerous schools, Child Development Centers (CDC), and churches that provide a nurturing environment for children and families.

BF Homes also boasts a diverse culinary scene, with its Aguirre Avenue becoming a well-known food destination, offering a wide range of restaurants and cafes that reflect both local and international tastes.

Barangay BF Homes has become synonymous with modern suburban living, where the balance between development and community spirit is celebrated. It is not only a residential haven but also a thriving economic center, with its commercial districts offering employment opportunities and leisure activities for residents.
