Class status is relative..If you think that you are high,high class than everyone else is lower than you. I have met many people of what some would call poverty level that have more class than some rich people i know. If you base your class distinctions based on finances then you are making a big mistake.

The area is known for its pig farms. In fact, the airport is often bathed in the odour d'porc that comes from the nearby farms when the winds blow the "right" way.
As far as "class" goes, we are not talking sociology here ALJ, we are talking economics and real estate. The area is low class because the people are generally small farmers, or workers, unskilled, in nearby farms or factories. There are no college professors, dentists or lawyers living in the area. There are no business owners living there.
There are some monstrous houses built by persons that went to New York and came back with money but no taste and built their {proof of success+}. That is why is it low class.

Houses of 30 to 100K US$ at the top end of the scale. But most with concrete floors, cinder blocks up to the windowsills and then palm wood up to sheet metal (zinc) roofs. The US$30,000 are little cinder block houses with poured concrete roofs, that are ovens in disguise, but the fact that they do not have zinc roofs is {proof of success}.

Keep the land, Santiago is growing in that direction. It will be more valuable as time goes by. Put up a modest house and save.

If the designation is related to economics, why not call it an agricultural zone or a blue collar area. This way it casts no dispursions on the indviduals who live there?

I couldn't have put it any better than what Hillbilly posted!

Keep the property, but just as a future investment thing on returns. This section of Santiago needs what amounts to another decade or two, in order to be worth seeking lines of credit to build up some nice apartment complex!

Santiago is no longer growing sideways, but up! The returns on apartment units can turn a land owner a huge profit, with little risks upfront. Canabacoa is still not to par in creating what this type of complex requires, in order to entice apartment buyers.

Those big houses you see peppered around, would have a very hard time selling at the rates equal houses in other sectors are going for, just due to Canabacoa's current standing.

About class and what not, we're talking RE/economics here, not social status or education...

Like I said, as of today and the mid term future, Canabacoa is considered a clase baja sector!

Yes, economically low class but agree with other posters, is the direction of Santiago growth.
