How do I find a place to live in Santo Domingo?
We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...
"i have lived in various parts of the country. The first place was a tourist resort on the Caribbean sea, where I went as my job as a scuba diving instructor was there. A small studio came with the job and after a month I moved into a rental apartment. Here you just put the word out you are looking and people come to you with their apartments. Now I live in a little Dominican town, chosen as it was far from tourists and hence much safer and much cheaper. Again just put the word out and found the house," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Santo Domingo, Dominican Rep.
"I first came to a beach town but then found that for a single older intellectual woman, the capital was best. I took my time, found the pool, the library, the neighborhood I liked best, then the apartment, not the other way around," commented one expat who made the move to Santo Domingo, Dominican Rep.
