Ken2 and Windguy, I'm in the process of looking for a place to retire, I've pretty much narrowed it down to the DR and now I'm trying to narrow it down to some specific areas within the DR. My criteria is simple and I'd like to think it's realistic. The ideal place I'm looking for would meet ( within reason) the following criteria. it has to be reasonably safe, clean , not a heavey tourist attraction , affordable housing ( or apartments) and a climate that does not cook you most of the time.
I realize there is no utopia and I'm just using this forum to glean out as much information as possable and also being reasonably close to good medical care is a plus.
Thanks for any information that you may be able to provide on the Jarabacoa area.
Chuck
