- Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 2023 - What Do Middle Class Neighborhoods Look Like??
We drove around a middle class neighborhood in Santo Domingo. Spoke about the housing market and average prices for the homes.

Thats why when it rains, the streets flood, because, the street drainage can only take so much water, the yards allow the rain water to seep into the underground aquafer.
You've said it all right there. People should definitely have more yards here, not necessarily only for the looks, but even to assist in reducing flooding and for sustainability, grow some fruits & vegetables with this awesome, all-year-round weather we got here in DR.
Go and drive to alma rosa 1 In Santo Domingo este It is upper and upper middle class
Gonna have to check it out some time soon!
That's where am from. My childhood there was perfect. Am still friend with the people from Alma Rosa 43yrs later. It's really nice over there.
@@laurafermin3026 I was in the Alma Rosa area a couple days ago and noticed they're building a lot of apartment towers in the area. A lot of development for sure!
@@PablosOnTheRoad Nice!
I can't understanding how they build on top of each other. Same in puerto rico. I don't want any neighbors complaining about what I do in my yard
Shockingly similar to some colombian neighborhoods
Yea, I'd say a lot of Latin America is overall very similar, with few exceptions. Thanks for watching
what neighborhood is that?, it looks familiar
I believe the area is called Mirador Sur, by Anacaona Ave
Water is too precious commodity to be wasted in big areas of grass in a small house. Only the very very rich would have lawns.
I hadn't seen it from that angle, saving water is definitely something to consider, though I believe rain is so regular here that maintaining a lawn with native plants, trees & shrubs wouldn't be that difficult of a task. When I bring up people not having a yard I don't exclusively refer to the useless lawns we have in North America that are only good for looks.
Thanks for your comment! I appreciate it
@@PablosOnTheRoad I know because I was born there. Most houses had a water tank ( cisterna ) to keep water, water had to be trucked in to most of the city since the water delivery was very sporadic or a small trickle to be of any use, that one of the must have tools for a house was the water pump. I used to go a school in NACO, and most of the houses along my way to school did not have sizeable lawns like the ones you see in the US. I lived in Ensanche LA FE, and between NACO and LA FE the only sizeable lawn was the green area in the Olympic Park.
Its to expensive for the land to be waste. Plus thas the capital its 4 millions habitants there . In high class a penthouse will cost you 20 millios . If you lets say santiago you will have all that n traffic its that crazy there its a lot more oyher citys thhat have it suc as san francisco de macoris jarabaco bani pierto plata
