Where to live in DR?

2 years ago

My husband and I are making plans (still 10 years away from retiring but planning now) to move to and buy a home in DR for our retirement. We want to be on the Northern Coast and leaning towards Las Terrenas based on what we have read so far. Will we be needing a car? Are golf carts still a thing in some parts of DR for getting to and from beach for example? We are coming from a very large city (over 1.3M) so curious about the driving there as there seems to be a lot of chatter online about it being "crazy". Also curious about healthcare and quality insurance that will cover us in our aging years? Potentially considering building our home if we can't find what we want. Any tips would be welcomed! Time to start dreaming of a day when life can slow down for us finally!
