As for safety, I've never heard it being any better or worse than most Dominican neighborhoods, but most females I know that live there don't like walking around at night (again, probably the same in most neighborhoods...)

Thanks for the info...it is very much appreciated.
I generally only use motoconchos for transport anyways, so that's not a problem.
How much is a motoconcho, carro publico or guagua going to cost from La Union - Sosua, La Union - Cabarete and La Union - POP...say parque central-ish? Approx how long would it take to make those trips?

Why do they hate it? Any particular reasons? Are they locals or foreigners?
Rocky - Do you mean noisier than the general Dominican neighbourhood? From what? Do you mean because it's so close to the airport?
The price difference between this rental and even one of the cheaper ones in Cabarete or Sosua is about 12,000RD pesos....I doubt I would run up that much in transportation costs..
And this of course, does not have a pool which I really wanted..but I don't think a pool is necessarily worth the different in 12,000 Pesos....
Rattus - How did you get them to stop stealing the electricity?..I've heard horror stories about that from some ppl!! Can you check it every evening to make sure no one is hooked up?? Besides that did you enjoy living in La Union?
I was told there is even a very decent supermarcado...would you agree?
