Feature Island

Regional Information

Set in the beautiful Caribbean, the Dominican Republic (DR) is the largest island nation in the region and one of most overlooked treasures of the international property market. The DR’s sunny climate, crystal waters and spectacular white beaches create a gorgeous setting to rival any other Caribbean country, and a history of assertive government preservation has allowed the country to retain much of its glorious tropical forests within dozens of large national parks. Tourism is a growing industry, and visitors can explore the exotic ecosystems of the central mountain range through guided tours, visit its charming colonial seaside towns, or simply enjoy the spectacular weather on one of the DR’s many incomparable beaches. A stable democratic government with a friendly attitude towards foreign investment is an added attraction, as are the very low real estate taxes and the well-developed civil infrastructure such as roads, hospitals and judiciary. And with even luxurious beachfront properties available at surprisingly low price points, the country is becoming an increasingly popular area for the purchase of seasonal homes.
