Exclamation Residencial Casa Linda
There is a real esate development that advertises here on Dr1.com called Residential Casa Linda that looks almost to good to be true. I've never seen the complex "firsthand" but plan on stopping by this summer.

It looks like classy/stylish homes at great purchase and rental prices. Can anyone give me a good first hand report? Do they offer any discounts for long-term rentals?
Thanks mates,
FORD

Casa Linda is as nice as it looks on the website. It is a very well run community at very affordable prices. Contact Timo the general manager and I'm sure he would be happy to show you aound when you arrive. If you would like some additional information from a home owner please send me a private message.

Hi FORD

Are you looking to Buy to to rent?

IMHO Casa Linda Phase 3 looks BETTER in reality than the website.
Mrs Pukie and I stayed there on our property hunting trip last November
and have reserved a plot on Phase 4.

The lot sizes on Phases 1 and 2 are a bit small @500-800 sqm (but, hey I'm from England and our gardens here are the size a postage stamp!)
On the newer phases they are bigger @1000sqm.

One thing I did notice was that many buyers on the newer phase have chosen to "upgrade" the fixtures and fittings from the standard package making for a more luxurious Euro/US style interior.

Some people will tell you the whole CL thing not the 'real' DomRep - but I don't care - it has a really nice village feel and and the management company will take care of everything when your not there (for a price!)

There are a few owners on this forum who where helpful l to me - but I'll let them introduce themselves if they choose to. If you seach the archives you will find only (well mostly) good things said about Casa Linda.

If you like, 'PM' me with your email address I can let you have some pictures
I took.

Luke

Never heard anything bad about Casa Linda and Timo is a good guy.

I took a tour of CL's newest phase last week. I have to say, I was impressed by what you get for your money. Additionally, maintainence and security were first rate.

Who lives there? Are they all non-Spanish speaking foreigners or are there Dominicans and Spanish speaking foreigners as well?

Hmmmm? After these remarks it sounds even more promising then ever! Thank you very much for all of your well meaning info.

I love the Dominican people, speak Spanish well and my many vacations were primarilly spent with locals and at local eateries and hotels, but for long-term stay/relocation it would be nice to enjoy us/euro level accomodations and security. (Too, some us/euro neighbors wouldn't be bad either)

Thank you all for your time - I'll search thru the archives.

Hi Ford,

I own in Phase 2 and contemplating building in Phase 4. The project is top notch and easy living for renting or owning. Compared to real estate listings these days, you get a lot for the price. I have enjoyed my vacation home for about 2 yrs now. The onsite administration will take of anything for you. Excellent pool/garden maintenance and maid services. It's luxury for less! Try it, you'll like it.

Good grief. I have lived in the DR for 19 years and am still hard pressed to describe what is the "real Dominican Republic."

I don't live in Casa Linda, but no many who do. If I wasn't happy where I am, then CL would be a place I would consider very seriously.

Also, I see CamdenTom says you get very good value for the money. Since he is a very successful realtor in the US, you can take his endorsement very seriously.
