Experience Dominican Republic Expat Life with a Casa Linda Villa

relocating to the dominican republic
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Need a change of pace that you can’t find in North America? If you’re interested in spending your days in the sun, sand, and surf, the Dominican Republic may be the place for you! Living in a foreign country is an amazing experience, which for many comes once in a lifetime.

If you’re interested in living the Dominican Republic expat life, keep reading to learn why this may be the right move for you and how you can make a home with our team at Casa Linda!

Why Move to the Dominican Republic?

So, what does the Dominican Republic have to offer newcomers? There are a lot of places in the Caribbean that you could move to, so why choose the DR?

In addition to the amazing weather and laid-back lifestyle, the DR is an affordable and accessible country for North American expats. Our cost of living is significantly lower than in the US and Canada, allowing you to cover all your basic living expenses without sacrificing regular entertainment and recreation.

Our country also heavily encourages foreign investment and even offers certain tax benefits and incentives. Our real estate market is booming, providing a great opportunity for investment returns on your property down the road.

The best part? We have a warm community of DR locals and expats who are excited to welcome you to our island! Cabarete, Sosua, Puerto Plata, and other communities on the DR's North Coast love to welcome new people from all walks of life. The DR is filled with kind, hospitable people, many of whom live in our Casa Linda community! 

How to Make a Home in the DR with Casa Linda

If you’re considering becoming an expat in the DR, make your home with Casa Linda! Our closed community offers the perfect combination of resort-style amenities and private homeownership.

Our luxury villas start as low as $219,800 USD, and include landscaped grounds and your very own private pool. We also offer housekeeping, grounds care, and shuttle services to and from town for homeowners and their guests.

Not only do you get to enjoy living in a tropical paradise, but you’ll get a luxury home at a fraction of the price in North America!

Here are some of our more popular villa models:

Sunseeker 3 Bedroom (from $329,000 USD): A great choice for couples who want a guest room or office space! This 3-bedroom and 3.5-bath home features a 1,830 sq. ft. (170.7 m²) living space, a 9,400-gallon swimming pool, and an outdoor entertaining area with a bar and sunbed space.

Sunbreeze (from $299,000 USD): the 2-bedroom Sunbreeze is a great choice, which, when paired with premium custom upgrades, makes it stand out from our other villa models. You can alter your floor plan to feature a raised roof, walk-in closet, kitchen island, and other customizations.

Capri (from $249,000 USD): A modern and affordable 2-bed and 2.5 bath villa, ideal for a single person, retiree, or couple. Features include an 8,045-gallon outdoor swimming pool and 1,190 sq ft, 110.57 sq m living space.

On the Fence? Check Out Our Fly & Try Program

Buying a home in a foreign country is a significant step, and before you take the leap, it’s essential to ensure the plan aligns with your goals and lifestyle. If you don’t want to commit just yet, you can see all that the Dominican Republic and Casa Linda have to offer with our Fly & Try Program!

For $139 US/night or $973 US/week, you can stay in one of our 2-bedroom villas and see how you enjoy life in our closed community! You’ll get to enjoy some perks reserved for villa owners, including a discount at our on-site restaurant, free entrance to our Waterpark, and airport pickup at the Puerto Plata airport.

Note: The Fly & Try Program is reserved for those interested in buying a Casa Linda property.
