Hello everyone. I was in Puerto Plata a few months ago and loved that side of the DR. Here is my question. It is open so I can get a number of ideas.

Looking for area underdeveloped on or very near the water on north side. Low cost of living, and low cost of property and or building costs.

Not looking for developed areas but nice quite areas not discovered yet. Loved the area and would really like to return. Depending on answers I may come back in a couple weeks, rent a car and check it out.
Have heard Luperon that sounds great and my kind of place.
Thanks in advance for all your help. Would love to enjoy the second half of my life there with you.
Best
Allan

Just be careful, a lot of waterfront is underdeveloped for a reason, i.e. multiple land claims for the same property. Purely "Dominican" areas can be a bit iffy also, to say the least. Do your research and hire a really good lawyer (preferably not from that immediate area). This is just a recommendation based on personal experience.

This is excellent advice. Take nothing for granted. Anything is possible.

Hi Allan
I just joined the site to answer your query (a friend sent me the link after cautioning you to be careful regarding property titles). Are you familiar with Cambiaso Beach? It is about 8 miles W of Puerto Plata (about 4 miles of bad road) and 12 mi E of Luperon (less bad road, but still rough). Nine years ago I bought 13 acres with 134 meters of beachfront. This parcel is one of the only two which are legally titles, and the only one with the now required Deslinde title.
If you are interested, I can send some photos to your email
