Best neighborhood of Santo Domingo

6 juni 2022

What is the best neighborhood of Santo Domingo to invest or buy a property? Maybe you have kids and you’re looking for a house or apartment close to the school or you are single and want to live near or in the middle of the city center close to restaurants, bars and shops.

Are you at this moment looking to buy or rent a house or an apartment in Santo Domingo and you have many questions about the process of buying and renting a property? Contact your REMAX agent and get answers on all your questions and many more tips that helps you to make the right choice for the future.

Your budget

If you have a maximum budget that you have to adhere to, you will have to take into account that you will probably not be able to fulfill all your housing wishes and you will have to give up on a number of points. In that case, make a priority list and write down which requirements you find important about a house or apartment, and place those points in order of importance. Some of these points are for example: location, number of M2, number of rooms, security, parking, price, view, facilities such as swimming pool, gym, elevator ect.

If you only look at the price and the rest is not so important to you, you will have the best chance of success on the north or east side of the city because there you can buy a nice apartment for about US$50,000 and rent it for US$300 but, if you prefer to live closer to the center of the city, or even right in the center then you may have to remove some of your items from your list to eventually find a suitable home.

Step 2. Be Happy

In theory, you could be happy by paying relatively a little more for the house, but in practice it’s about completely different things. It is very important to know if you become a little happier by living in a certain neighborhood. Factors that play a role in this, among other things are:

Do your friends or close acquaintances also live in the same neighborhood or close by?
Does your social life take place in or near the neighborhood you choose?
Do you have to drive too long to work every day?

Step 3. Safety

The safety of a neighborhood is not entirely unimportant. The center of Santo Domingo which consists of Piantini, Naco, Paraiso can be considered the safest and cleanest area of Santo Domingo, but Bella Vista and Arroyo Hondo are also good places to live.

Step 4. Walk through the neighborhood

Objective criteria is nice, but you can of course also choose based on your gut feeling. Take an afternoon off and walk quietly through the neighborhood where you want to live, maybe it is much nicer than you think or not. When you walk through your future neighborhood pay attention to traffic, projects under construction because they can sometimes take years to finish in Santo Domingo, and the shops and restaurants in the area.
