I'll move before I do that. I'm on the top floor so installing one on the roof would be great, but can the buliding hold every apartment having one? Also this points out the issue of all these buildings going up and the old city water lines. I was told the water that comes from the street is not enough to fill the cistern. And there are more people living here compared to last year. Com'on rain.

Finding an apartment in the DR

The last thing someone with your budget should do you is buy a house or land here. So easy to buy.. so hard to sell.

I pay $3300 pesos per month ($76.00 USD) for a one bedroom, one bath apartment in the Monte Rico II neighborhood of Santiago. In July the lease will expire and if I want to renew (I do) it will increase to $3600 ($83.00 USD) pesos per month. The apartment is not huge, it's an efficiency, but it's clean and in a safe area. If you shop around you can get a really nice place for $200USD, but you won't find it online. I found my apartment by driving around looking for "For Rent" signs and calling the number on them. There are three bedroom/two bath HOUSES for rent in the $200USD range in the area I live in.
I just never thought of that in a city.. in the country, sure.. but in a city? I figured that you have to drill a long way down to get to the ground water and have to get permits.. and the water, well,, who knows if the water here is treated anyway? Just seems odd to build a big apartment building and then dig a well.
That's what the well does, the problem was the water coming from the street didn't fill the cistern. It took around four days to complete.
That's how I felt when the water issue first happen, i could understand having to wash up in a bucket living in the campo, but not in a new building in the city. Then I remembered where I was. LOL
Supercasas.com or physical copy of diario libre if you can get to Santo Domingo. That paper has classifieds in
The back. Be aware of the fiador process. Just happened to my wife's sister.
I will write a post about it now called "rental scams on foreigners" please read it.
I live on about that with a family of three. We live nice, not elegantly but we live comfortable.
True, the NC is too expensive to live on that amount. I live in Santiago. We also don't have a car. We use conchos or taxis if we need to go somewhere.

Hi there....I just noticed an ad on craigslist (Dom Rep Apartments for Rent) for a 1 bedroom in Cabarete
I think it was around 250.00 a month w/electrical, propane, wifi and color cable TV 3 blocks from the beach.
Hope this helps......
