      I assume you mean renting vs. buying and we always suggest renting first to get acclimated to what to expect out here before jumping into an impulse purchase. It is hard to sell property later because the market is so flooded then your stuck

    What neighborhood are you living in???
    When you quoted $400 to $800 a month I automatically thought you’re in Sosúa or Cabarete.
    I have paid between $80 (1br, 1ba) and $120 (2br, 1ba) in the Monte Rico neighborhood of Santiago where Estrella Sadhalá crosses Avenida Tamboril. It’s very safe, lived there five years with NO PROBLEMS or close calls.

      I have native fluency in Spanish having been a interpreter/translator since the 1980s and that helps A LOT as I'm able to talk to people to find out about apartments.
      ALL the apartments I've had were by word of mouth. That's how 99% Dominicans do it, just drive into an area and ask at a colmado and look for signs about apartments for rent.
      If you use rental agencies, websites and/or newspapers the prices will be very high.
