Hi to everyone,
We are a couple that want to relocate in DR in the near future and we would like to know your suggestions about the location.
Our basic needs are: 1- market and stores nearby (to buy food etc if possible also international products without using car to reach them) 2- must be a town not too small but not too big (we hate too much traffic) 3- place where it is easier moving by bicycle or walking with dog 4- Banks available in the area 5- Low crime rate 6- expat community (we are Italian) 5- Hospital or Small Clinic available in the area 6- Vet clinic in the area 7- location on the sea.
Looking in the forum, we found that maybe Las Terrenas, Cabrera, Puerto Plata could be an interesting place.
More than one option is welcome.

Hi
You should add Sosua and Cabarete to your list of places as they fulfill all your requirements. There are over seventy restaurants in the area including quite a few Italian . My colleague at Coldwell Banker is Italian and I'm sure she can introduce you to fellow Italians. , Here are a couple of videos of the Puerto Plata area that includes Sosua and Cabarate. If you want any other information kindly email me,

Hi,

I believe that there is quite a lot of traffic in Puerto Plata. Also, it is very polluted. I do not know about stores in Cabrera, but it is definitely quieter than Puerto Plata. I agree with SosuaPeter, you should also check out Sosua where you will find international products (Pola and Playero), you can walk... and maybe Cabarete.
Good luck!
