Hello all!
I would like to obtain property in the DR in the upcoming year, but I have no idea what areas are 'family friendly'.
I am looking for a place where there are neighbors who have children, places my children can go play and be safe and a great bi-lingual school.
I've heard Boca Chica is NOT the place to be. I visited Sosua, Cabarate and Santo Domingo early this year. I didn't like Santo Domingo but I loved Sosua. The beaches were nice, the grocery stores, bakeries, all basics were covered. They even had the International School which I visited and thought was great. The thing I DIDNT like was the large influx of tourists and the whole sex tourism in general. To each his own, but that isn't an environment I want my children to be exposed to.
Overall, I really want my children to be able to really soak DR culture, customs and life. I dont mind being in a mixed community with people from all over the world, but I could remain in the US and live with people who are from all over the world. I just want to know what your opinions are in terms of the BEST city(ies) to move that are family friendly and economical. I do plan to buy land and build a property if I cannot find a place to rent.
Thanks!
