In a few years I have the option to retire and my heart is set on the DR., more specifically the northern part around Santiago...I thought about building a house in absencia but I am here in NY right now, and that may be an issue. So I thought it better I rent for a year when I retire, see how that goes , and if I still love it as I do now, and dont miss back home in NY., then I will know for sure and buy.... so question is , what' s a decent rent in the campo area north of Santiago, thinking Villa Gonzales, Palmarejo, Navarette.. where I know some people... nothing spectacular.... one or two bedrooms, single-level, indoor toilet...electricity...not looking to live like Rockefeller, no pool needed! I like the rural life, but access to a large city like Santiago is best for me....
