Ever dreamt of living in a different country? Many expats are living life to the fullest in the Dominican Republic! More than 37,000 expats from the United States, Canada, and Europe live in the DR, and approximately 14,000 of those are US citizens. So, what is it that’s drawing so many international visitors to spend their days on our sunny shores?
Here are just three reasons why you should consider living in the Dominican Republic as your next travel adventure. Keep reading to learn how our team at Casa Linda can help you feel right at home in our gated community!
Get a Warm Welcome into a Friendly Community
In the DR, we love it when new people come to visit, and even more when they come to stay. Our island is known for its hospitality and friendliness towards travellers and expats. From the time your plane lands at the Puerto Plata airport, you’ll be greeted by musicians and dancers welcoming you to our country; talk about being made to feel at home!
Enjoy a Tropical Climate without Hurricanes
The notion of living in the tropics is idyllic for most people, but an often overlooked fact is the inclement weather. Most Caribbean islands (including parts of the Dominican Republic) are hit during hurricane season, which can be a major and nerve-wracking adjustment for North Americans.
However, not all of the Dominican Republic has to worry about hurricanes.
The DR North Coast boasts a unique geological environment that protects us during hurricane season. This includes communities in Puerto Plata, such as Cabarete and Sosúa, where our Casa Linda Community is located. Rest assured: you can enjoy as much time as you like on the beach during hurricane season without worry!
Embrace Island Life without Breaking the Bank
A major draw to the Dominican Republic, especially for North Americans, is the very low cost of living compared to the US and Canada. In other parts of the world, it can be a struggle to cover basic necessities like healthy groceries, rent, and utilities while enjoying regular recreation and nightlife. In the Dominican Republic, you can do all that and more and still keep a few dollars in savings!
Our cost of living is 39.7% lower than in Canada and 44% lower than in the United States. Items that are luxuries in North America, like fresh produce and high-quality meat, can be found at very reasonable prices in the DR.
Entertainment and nightlife are also affordable enough to enjoy every weekend if you choose! Many of our pastimes involve time on the beach and in the outdoors, which are very affordable when you have the right gear and sports equipment.
Many expats enjoy all the best parts of island living without living paycheck to paycheck!
