Purchasing a condo in Puerto Plata -Dominican Republic

I lived several years in Puerto Plata. I like that it's a small city with all the services you need without the major traffic issues in big cities here.  There are a good number of expats and the city relies on tourism so you will find a fair number of English speakers. There is lots to do in the area but you can also do nothing quite nicely!

And welcome to the forums

Hi bill , I live in puerto plata and I like it here , yer don’t see the crime here like that of the big city, and a lot of less tourists,

the traffic has increased in the last couple of years , but I think that’s because there’s only 2 lanes in both directions and the area has seen an increase in the population, I’ve noticed a big increase in construction , condos- apartments, some are priced reasonably and some are not, you have to do your homework on it , I live in a private house in Atlanta and find it very safe and quiet, I go all ( drive ) over the city and feel safe nobody bothers yer , now I don’t know about the night life, I’m sure there are bars open late but I myself don’t get involved with that …they have some nice resorts here @ playa Dorada, but you won’t get the real feel of town staying there, yer be better off along the  boulevard across from the beach ,

good luck with your adventure , and hope you find what your aiming for……👍
