Yes, I know Villa Mella quite well, what do you want to know. If you need metro stops then look on net, it is not difficult.
As a general consensus among foreigners this is not the place you will want to live. I rented a 4 bedroomed, 3 bathroom house ther for RD4500 a couple of years ago for the guys looking after my pigs. It is fine if you are poor, but if you are anything other than poor then you become a target unless you are known well.
tell me what you are looking for, I live in the region now, but not Mella. I know what's on offer and general prices and what the area is like around most areas.

I had a place there in 2010. On Calle Minerva Mirabal, off of Ave. Hermanas Mirabal. The Metro runs right through the area. I used the Gomez station when riding. I never experienced any danger or felt threatened, but it does have bit of a reputation.
i was actually trying to compare Villa Mela to an area like Gazcue in terms of safety, crime, cost of living,
how much will it cost to rent a one bedroom apt in Villa Mela?
I am actually trying to find an inexpensive area of tbe city that runs along the metro.
any advice?
I think you should go live there, will make for good entertainment on DR1 and maybe even a National Geographic issue
Do you mean, Villa "MELLA"?
Great "Barrio"!
By actual count, I have had sex with 469 girls from "Villa Mella".
And half of their mothers!
At the SAME TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Abuelita" watch the kids.
She was PI$$ED", wanted some of the action!

There is only one reason to want to move to Villa Mella. If you've already visited the place, you know this barrio is the home of the sweetest looking morenitas in the whole Santo Domingo area. It has the same rep the Cibao has for the nicest looking light-skinned Dominicanas.
I would understand how you, as an expat or expat-to-be, would want to be there for that particular reason, but comparing Villa Mella to Gazcue is a stretch even the most unseasoned rookie couldn't make with a straight face. Also, you must think of your safety.
You could live in Gazcue and have your ladies come and visit you. They can take the metro into the city and you'll be in a much safer environment.

I had a super hot lady in Villa Mella. I went there often. It is a place full of hot women but it is not safe. Gascue is full of foreigners and people with money. Wealthy, local Dominicans ride through in expensive SUVs in Gascue and they own places there. VIlla Mella is full of poor and desperate people and the police will not respond as well and as quickly there. I would pick Gascue over Villa Mella as a foreigner to live. You can always visit Villa Mella to get laid but live in Gascue. Also, you will find barrio chicks that just want some fast and easy money and visas in Villa Mella but in Gascue you have the chance to meet classier and educated Dominicanas.
make sure you ride with them the first time on the metro so they can learn the turnstile and escalator
