I would thing Santo Domingo has the highest cost of living in the Dominican Republic.
Any comments as to which parts of the DR offer the best cost of living values for a typical US expat?
I'm most interested in the bigger cities.

If you are only asking about large cities,I do not know...but,I live in SD and Samana,El Limon.and I can tell you that it is almost double the price for about anything in El Limon or Las Terrenas as here in the city.I am talking about food...most restaurants are more in Samana,as well as rent and elec. is also higher.Appliances and auto parts are way more in LT also,most people who live there travel to La Capital or Santiago,as well as Nagua to do any shopping,this includes the Dominican family also...
The central valley region is historically the least expensive for living,Cibao,Cotui,that area...
