The area looks clean and very lush with vegetation. I used to go to Trinity College in the late 70's. I lived in La Seiva and would catch the taxi on Saddle Road. The taxi would drop us somewhere down the road and we would walk up to the college. On the left hand side of the road just before you reach the large field (which used to be our football pitches) there weren't any houses as seen nowadays. That whole road along the golf course used to be the remnants of an old cocoa plantation. We were always diving in there looking for some nice cocoa. That was one of the benefits of going to Trinity! 😂 I wonder if any of the new property owners kept some of the trees on their plot? It's a pity to bulldoze those nice trees that bear such a lovely fruit.
Hi I happened upon your video and happy that I did....before the Pandemic I was home in 2019 and was able to go to Toco... it was so nice just a reminder that natural beauty TnT has....looking forward of seeing more videos from you...Bless.
@@JBsManCave The scenery and infrastructure are the most beautiful (combined) in my opinion. The scenery in the St. Joseph and Diego Martin videos is also stunning
Merchant, cool. I also cover other countries, including the rest of the Caribbean. A lot of what I have compiled can rival... have you see those videos for a comparison?
@@JBsManCave Good morning! We haven't seen these areas for a very long time! The vegetation is luscious and there are actual paved roads. I am also speaking about Maracas Royal road, Santa Cruz, Lopinot and St Ann's/Cascade, not forgetting Haleland Park/Moka. I guess the videos were well done.
@@JBsManCave I am a lil disappointed though with Haleland Pk/ Moka, I was expecting castles and tree lined streets, because Trinis seems to be a lil proud to be living that areas. 🤷🤣😂🙏🙏
Rhona, "Welcome" was in answer to your opening post "Thank you...." However, thanks for your continued participation on JB's Man Cave -- it is much appreciated.
Great Video. The question was not a challenge. @2:20 I recognize the corner but not the change. Is Moka now a gated community? Follow the white van I grew up 5 mins away. The road bends to the left beyond the vehicle in the distance. Moka rd begins on the right.
Thank you kindly. You said, "Is Moka now a gated community?" Most of the area is public but there are certain places that are blocked off as shown in the video. I only go on roads that are public and when barred I turn around. See more: jbsmancave.com/trinidad-and-tobago-road-trip-map/ there are also shorter videos on my Channel that will show the actual college, etc.
By vacation spots you are referring to hotels, guest homes or resorts? In the immediate area there is only the golf course as a highlight and of course going over the mountain will take you to Maracas, etc. However, I do not recall any places to stay being near to Haleland Park. The closest is probably the Royal Palm Hotel.

Live near Long circular and so close to saddle rd too. Worked the Hi lo there. Thanks to a numero uno trini have an idea the place I heard of, moka, is fairly close.
Yup i went to trinity. Use to have to walk to "village" sometime when road flooded out and couldn't get school bus. oh the good ole days......Would collect the stray golf balls.
I went to Trinity East; but there was one certain school bus that came from Trinity Moka that used to pick a few of us TCE boys up on the bus route in its way to Arima
I live Maloney. I had to leave home at 6: 30am to get to school and I boarded the bus in Trincity so I wouldn't know if it went through Santa Cruz or Maraval, sorry
Found myself driving through these roads recently trying to figure out what color to repaint my house. Neutral colors are my style as well. I detest bright colors. Btw if you want to see some huge modern houses head over to valsayn north. IMO the houses there are even better than those in Goodwood park. As for a castle house, if you drive through Boy Cato Road Las Lomas. Someone literally built a castle. Lol.
Brad, you could have checked the paint store for a chart rather than spending fuel... but I get what you mean. 😉 as for Valsayn... you mean like this: th-cam.com/video/Sya39bkI7AM/w-d-xo.html
As a global traveller I've seen some exquisite homes..meticulously designed and maintained neighborhoods over the years! Throughout the Caribbean the building codes and zoning laws are not rigorously enforce even in our most exclusive housing developments! As seen in this video it's confusing to the reason why there's such attention and care to some residences while smack in the middle are numerous eye sores! If one's is desirous of purchasing a property in one of these exclusive neighborhoods there's a service fee payable every month as I've seen in many of the advertising! Who exactly collect these fees and to what services are those funds ascribed! Certainly not the maintenance of the roads as the roads shown in this video is just as deplorable as those in low income neighborhoods..Many upper income communities abroad are inclusive of playground, swim and community clubs and relaxation parks with benches, tables etc! Nothing of the sort seem in this video! Do these folks even know their neighbors?
I think you are referring to me talking about houses prices? If so, TT dollars but believe it or not there are houses in Trinidad where they do ask for millions in US dollars!
Jason, nah man... that is not the kind of castle I was thinking about. Something more like this: th-cam.com/video/LGuRT0V2G30/w-d-xo.html or even more grand.
35:35 nice golf park, some richie areas here and there but like the other commenter said there's always a few rich and lots of poor. Says a lot about what is going on.
As you deduced crime broke out in 2000. Know how to halt crime? GORTT take my tax money and build middle-class housing for the masses, cheaper version of Haleland.
Plainly is the source of much of trinidad's crime, stress misery - the *socioeconomic divide.* Aka few rich, plenty poor. Gated communities are not simple crime defense. Represents inequality. No issue with wealth, I do when wealth fails to grasp cannot have it all. We have biggest airline, pitch lake and oil. I get seriously despondent at the suffering of the most vulnetable. Clearly leaders do not view the wealth as belonging to its PEOPLE. A nation third richest in the entirety of a region has ZERO excuse entertaining poverty.
You made some good points I would not roast you for that. I do have some crime / socio related videos you may like to look at. Check them on my Channel playlist.
What do you think about Haleland Park and Moka in the island of Trinidad within the Caribbean?
each and every neighborhood, least to greatest should be clean, paved and safe as the one %
@@TheKeithvidz definitely.
@@JBsManCave curse our leaders.
Everything is so beautifully 💚💚💚 green. I miss Trinidad.😢

This was an interesting drive.I live deep south and ever been these parts of trinidad. Its pretty decent but South is home
TriniT, thanks for your input. I am actually covering deep South West right now and have other parts of South on my channel.
Another nice neighborhood. Thank you so much for showing us around Trinidad.
Rosemarie, thanks for watching and giving your input.
good morning i love watching your videos just drop in to say happy new year and keep up the work..blessings
Varonica, thank you kindly. What do you love about my videos?
Brought back memories, saw the house where I used to live on Perseverance Rd. Still have family living there in that house.
Augustus, thanks for sharing your experience of Haleland Park / Moka, Trinidad.
Hi Augustus my father grew up on perseverance rd he was Noreiga is it possible your relatives or close friends might heard of the name
I love the green vegetation and various colors of the homes.. What's the weather like in this area?
Rosemarie, yes more green than other places, but it is in a valley so it can get cold in the morning.
Wow! Awesome video of a peaceful and beautiful community good views

Chester, what time did you all have to leave Arima to get to Trinity College? Plus did they pass through Santa Cruz or through Maraval?

Brad, have a look over my channel from the home page and on a computer screen rather than a phone, I have hundreds of videos.
If Moka is so private, how do the students get to Trinity College?
Might be a good question but unfortunately without a timeline I am not sure what this question is in reference to.
Nice vid. I lived in Saddle Hill. Practice football at Trinity College grounds. Is Moka road still public?
The road to the college is still public but beyond that has some restrictions for residents only.
