OK, new to this thread. I am single, do not extravagant tastes. So where in DR can one live on $1200 / mth?
What cities do most of the north American or British expats live?

do not want to own a car, would like a city with DR cultural / artistic flavor.

Hi,

My name is Mike ( Canadian ) and I live in the gated community of Costambar located just outside the city of Puerto Plata. In Costambar you have all the luxuries you would expect from North America or Europe within your budget, but still with the Dominican feel and priced right. Please see my website www.costambar.org for everything about this wonderful place. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

I have never lived in Luperon, although it is a very nice place. Cheers, Mike.

Crap and I was in PP just a few months ago. Thought about heading your way, but did not think there would be anything.
Any place I can go to see pics or get info about the area. Lots of questions about building, costs, proximity to Haiti etc.
Thanks
Allan:))

I just got back from the North Shore area of the DR and I am leasing a house in Cabrera for a year. You would want to stay a way from the big tourist towns and look for a smaller more friendly town. In cabrera you can find a two bedroom,2 bath furnished apartment for around $250.00 a month, My suggestion for you would be to pull up a map of the DR and make a list of the smaller towns and then go on YOUTUBE and research them. God Luck in your quest for a new adventure in our Life,God Bless.

Great info, have not been to that area. As you suggest, I am considering going back again and driving around with a local doing research.

Thanks
Allan

Hi Mike, living in a gated community with all the amenities will be very expensive and a budgeto 1,200 USD will not be sufficient. I'm doing some research . Wish we could find a small house for rent with a view to the mountains and a yard for our dogs. Your opinion is greatly appreciated. Eni
