Nice....we rent an apartment in san francisco,right in front of (UASD) Universidad autonoma de Santo domingo.(college) for $7,000 pesos.24h eletricity and Wi-Fi.
@@happylifegrace4674 will be there in June....if you could make it we could plan on getting together and get to know a bit more. Can get you a room for $25 a day (wifi,breakfast included)and will show you around)..
I have read other youtubers who live in Santiago mention how rent is so different from Santo Domingo where any small place would cost you a kidney. Mi familia de parte de padre es de Santiago y siempre que los visito me encanta. Ya hace años no los veo pero suelen venir a Santo Domingo también a visitarnos. Really nice appartment♡ ¡Thanks for sharing about my country and for your love!
Are you of Latin decent? Because if not you really have a knack for the language. Your pronunciation is excellent even the Dominican way of trailing off with each sentence. And Santiago is where my family is from small town called Sabana Iglesia..love the channel
aww thank you so much, best compliment ever!! haha. i’m a small but spanish but that has nothing to do with it because i’m adopted lol. i took classes in high school which helped with the foundation and then practiced a lot after my trips here. being surrounded by it helps but i have a long way to go with the accent...and past tense haha. so cool you are from santiago! do you still live here?
Another greatly informative video. Thank you. For me the hourly bells would drive me crazy. I lived it one time in Mexico.....no way for me. A very nice clean apartment though at a better than great price. Great info as usual please keep it up!
This is a very interesting video, I am actually in the real state business. I live in Santo Domingo, Yes, Santiago is cheaper to afford almost anything and very nice place to live as well. Grocery stores, taxy, almost everything is cheaper and the people there are great folks.
Lol his light bill is so low because they always turn off the lights!!😂 when used to live in santiago we would get soooooo happy and celebrate when the lights used to come on because we didnt have una planta! I need to take my Swedish husband there so he can experience humble beginnings lol Overall awesome great video and nice apartment!
managed to keep it under 10 mins by some miracle hahah. it is on the 3rd level! I think water is a bit more because they have several people they need to do laundry for.
I am looking for an apartment right now. I didn't think that I could get an apartment this decent but it's perfect for what I need. How do I contact the landlord? Mills please help me?
This was 3 bedroom and a service room with a small bathroom, 2 full bathrooms. Since it was in a nice area and a big apartment it was $400 US but i only stayed for 6 months i believe. you can find much cheaper! This was a private rental since we knew the owner so we made our own contract and i paid in dollars but most would be in pesos typically.
Hi Rebecca, I like your channel. I too am from New York born and raised , and would like to take a page out of your book. I want to learn of the culture, the language, and ultimately find that special Dominican spouse. I’m pretty sure I can use your help.😊
The people in Santiago are very good looking people and there are a lot of very nice people. We have traveled all over the country and my wife bought an apartment on 27th near Tamboril.
In Dominican Republic the crime rate is not that high in compare to other countries i say cause i have a couple of friends who live there and they told me they dont even feel in danger and they live straight up in the hood
Hi Mills. Are you on Instagram? I would like to ask you a question about finding an apartment like this in Santiago. Is this specific apartment Available?I would really appreciate it. I am boots on the ground here and can look around but some help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.
You do realize these are D.R resident prices right? If you are a non resident you will get scammed into paying higher for sure. Now let's take a closer look at his 3rd world accommodations... What caught my eye immediately was no A/C. That's pretty much standard in that area for apts unless u can afford a window unit. Another thing to keep in mind is rolling blackouts which are still rampant in that area. And lastly... Crime! Only locals live in that vicinity. As a non resident you are courting theft if you even attempted to live in the area. Here endeth the lesson.
i have expat friends paying the same prices. He did have a lot of furniture they just moved out, and with dans you honestly don’t really need AC, at least I don’t personally. he said the blackouts are not very often at all anymore, and if you’re concerned about crime you just don’t walk around at night or be dumb with possessions. however he is happy and that makes me happy.
@@MillsRepDom omg...and you find all these restrictions normal? I'm Dominican and I know first hand why I stopped living the 3rd world lifestyle. You are living in a dream where you think living in such conditions is normal. What kind of person rationalizes local crime? Who the hell lives in the Caribbean and accepts living with a fan in that kind of heat? Who in God's good earth accepts rolling black outs? Your liberal sense of being will be the end of you.
One Plussies lmao first of all i’m fine. he rarely has blackouts if at all anymore because it’s improved so much. i myself don’t ever have a blackout, there is an AC where i live but i rarely use it, like i said i personally do not need it but obviously understand why some people would. i’ve never been a victim of crime nor has he, again personal experience. i didn’t deny that there is crime and i take precautions but there is crime where i am from in the US too. i really don’t have that many restrictions living here at all..we live quite well actually and will return to the states soon. glad you’re happy where you are.
If i am going to the d..r. for 10 days, do you recommend i get a local sim card so i can use my phone to have access to online? ☺ love your content! Porta plata by the full moon! Yesss
thank you! which is your phone provider? you can easily do that if its unlocked, or you can enable international roaming for the week, just check with your provider but for 10 days its usually quite cheap. ive never used a local sim.
Enable international roaming I think sprint charges $25 per week. Everyone I mean everyone here has whatsapp. Download this. I communicated with everyone there using WhatsApp only.
Past Care-ington I was thinking the same way but lucky my phone can be unlocked so when I go there I put my phone under there services but who knows I see if there is WiFi around

i love real estate! i do like santiago more than SD just because it’s a little quieter haha
@@MillsRepDom Santo Domingo is over rated!
I can’t wait to visit Santiago
Its Jrod do you have a date planned yet??
I’m thinking July , because in June I will be somewhere else
@@ItsJrodtravel Awesome!!

Greatly appreciated! I will be there soon.
Wooo! Thank you!
Hello Chica !! Dominican living in Maryland US...Love the US and the DR ..
hey hey! Thanks for watching!
Lol his light bill is so low because they always turn off the lights!!😂 when used to live in santiago we would get soooooo happy and celebrate when the lights used to come on because we didnt have una planta! I need to take my Swedish husband there so he can experience humble beginnings lol Overall awesome great video and nice apartment!
its not any more like this, was long time ago, is 24 hours energy
thank you!! he did say the power rarely goes out now which is awesome! but it does make your appreciate things more.
thats very cheap,well thats maybe because he doenst have have many tv's on at all time,my monthly bill is over 2,000 pesos every month.
Very nice. I plan on visiting DR later this year.
ahhh that’s awesome!
How’s the safety there? In that area right there?
I love your enthusiasm for life. Nice voice.
Larry Hammersley aww thank you so much
I didn't see any ceiling fans or AC? And the SQFT?
The cost of living in DR is so cheap I don’t understand why people struggle...I live in Boston and the cost living is expensive...😮
Taryn Eva Tea They don’t make enough money.
It is cheap for us, but it's all relative. the average salary here is $200 a month so its very low compared to the US.
Jessica Cruz wow so sad...
Mills Around you can’t even survive on that salary DR needs change the way they pay there people...
it is very low it’s sad:( that’s why families often live together to all pitch in to expenses.
Thanks for this video. Not to long and to the point. What floor was the apartment? He pays a lot for water, but the rent is great for the location
managed to keep it under 10 mins by some miracle hahah. it is on the 3rd level! I think water is a bit more because they have several people they need to do laundry for.
Any updates on the " Missing couples" from New York?
Awesome Informative video! You have very good content on your channel.
Thanks for posting!
thank you for watching!!
Would Love to go.... Especially. Jarabacoa golf course.
Hey I’m finally living in DR in Santiago too. I’m in cerro hermoso. Stop by so my maid make you a nice sancocho or arroz con pollo😀

Keep up the great videos!
thank you!!
This is a dope spot but that bell will drive me nuts lol
Yesss😂
Santiago is nice and seems apartament prices are excellent but I have heard that crime/delinquency is high there. What's your opinion of that?
Nice spot, very LatAm style. 💫
Where can i find apt listings! I like this! Thinking about relocating!
facebook marketplace or corotos.com!
Can Foreigners get these prices, $200 and less, also?? Do you have to sign a lease,6mts or 1 yr?
Good evening could I have some information on long term apartment to rent
I am looking for an apartment right now. I didn't think that I could get an apartment this decent but it's perfect for what I need. How do I contact the landlord? Mills please help me?
That’s a 2 bed 2 bath for how much?? Oh wow you answered in video. Would I have to change US dollar to pesos or do the take US dollars?
This was 3 bedroom and a service room with a small bathroom, 2 full bathrooms.

Are there beaches in Santiago? I saw your video where you were snorkeling but you had to travel two hours to get to that beach?
no beaches in santiago. the closest is about an hour away
@@MillsRepDom : so there is no rivers or lakes either?
@@STierAj that's another thing.
@@user-zn1pj9xr9p : So is your comment 🤷🏾♂️ If you do not have the answer… then why leave a rude comment? I obviously want to move to Santiago.

Happy to help!
Hi . Im seriosly thinking about moving there for a year. Whats the hardest thing as far as paperwork to move there?.
Hi! If youre not working there then no paperwork, you can overstay the visitors visa and pay the fee at the airport when leaving the country.
i was born in santiango,i own a apartment 10 minutes from there.
The people in Santiago are very good looking people and there are a lot of very nice people. We have traveled all over the country and my wife bought an apartment on 27th near Tamboril.
Whats the name of the apartment please?
Where is this area located?
Can you help me find a apartment around that price please
Can I find a 2 bedroom apartment for rent in Santiago
Is there a website or publication with dominican rentals?
facebook marketplace or corotos.com
@@MillsRepDom Thank you!
So i want to know your are living in tge DR?
High crime too much traffic rented a house there 3 years prefer puerto plata
rick mckinnon puerto plata is beautiful
thats a nice area too!
In Dominican Republic the crime rate is not that high in compare to other countries i say cause i have a couple of friends who live there and they told me they dont even feel in danger and they live straight up in the hood
Lafh I agree with you as well. It’s worse in Venezuela 🇻🇪
Lafh I’ve been to the hood areas and it’s not as dangerous people make it seem. Just be yourself and always remember to NOT TRUST no one regardless.
New subscriber how much your tutor charge plz I want to learn Spanish too when I go there
Hi! He is about 250 pesos per hour or 4-5 dollars.
