Hi guys, I am planning on moving to the DR around August with my family (Myself, my 12 and 8 year old daughters, my 1 year old baby and my Fiancee) and have some questions. First of all we have been living in the Turks and Caicos Islands for the last 4 years together and apart from it being a really pretty country their is nothing much to do here but go to the beach and work. I have an IT company here that does very well and will live off of that salary in the DR. The DR is only 40 minutes away by plane from the Turks and Caicos so I can travel back and forth for business if needed easily. My fiancee is Canadian and really misses the convenience of a city. Simple things like bowling we cant even do here and the population is about 30,000 people so you can kind of understand how it is here. I was also married to a Dominican woman who is the mother of my two eldest daughters coming with us and can speak 90% fluent I would say Dominican Spanish as that is the first thing non dominicans ask me who hear me speaking spanish because of my accent.
1. I would like to know a very nice safe neighborhood for families to take walks in (a park would be awesome) to live in about 15-20 minutes outside of Santo Domingo? This way we can drive to the city whenever we want to do something.
2. I would like to know about a good but affordable school for my daughters and preferably one that is Bilingual.
Also can you guys give me a guestimation of a monthly budget for a 3BDR House, Electricty, Water, and a Housekeeper.
Thanks!
