Best neighborhood in Santo Domingo
Name: Piantini.
Location: Centrally located is Santo Domingo.
Reason why?:
Nice and quiet if you're away from the main streets. Trees everywhere, which I like. Cacicazgos is a very close second, if it weren't for the price I'd buy a place there. I'll try to work that out in the next two years hehe......

Hehe even if you tried you might die in the elephant size potholes before getting out of Arroyo Hondo.
Los Cacicazgos and Piantini are far and above ANYTHING in the city. Arroyo Hondo has some decent areas, but it's mostly inhabited so densely because the land is dirt cheap......the condition of the streets/infrastructure out there is so poor I'd avoid it....

That's because you live down the street from a big supermarket and close to Jardin Botanico and schools for the kids.......and the chicks are easier to impress......you pimp you. But I'm tired of that side of town.
I also don't believe that traffic is that bad in Cacicazgos........nice and quiet, just like I want it. It's worse in Arroyo Hondo, Camino Chiquito takes the cake for worst traffic in a small street in that city.

Surely this is completely subjective? I could name at least five neighbourhoods that are all very different yet qualify in different categories.
Zona Colonial for its nightlife, character and history.
Gazcue for shady streets and relative pedestrian-friendliness.
Ciudad Nueva for location and cool architecture.
Mirador Sur and Bella Vista for location and proximity to park.
Any of the upscale neighbourhoods north of 27 for location, luxury apartments, restaurants and shopping.
etc.
All of these have strong disadvantages as well: it really depends on what you like and what your needs are.

Well , I disagree. That means that if I want to find out what's the best turkey bath in town I would have to read 10 zillion threads. Why not put everything in just one?
Of course, now I'll probably get my post deleted.

Simple, threads will end up like this.
I would rather have 10 zillion threads that stay on topic and only deal with the business or place established in the first post, than a 100 threads that ramble on and it takes you forever to work out what's what.
If you think the Zona Colonial is the best part of town, start the thread and people can post in that thread why the "Colonial Zone" is the best.
This forum is a few hours old, it's going to take time to bash out the bumps

Piantini vs. all else
Piantini has many advantages but one huge disadvantage - - it is a flood plain. During heavy rains it becomes a lake district. Many residents live in high rises - - but their cars don't. Traffic and proximity to things like the Acropolis and its two-story, one half block size generator are not pluses either. The poster whos said this is very subjective is right and of course any one block in Arroyo Hondo, Los Prados, Los Rios, or El Millon can be much better or worse than any one block in those or any other neighborhoods. I am enjoying the many opinions, keep them coming.
