Default Las Casitas in Montellano

There is a community of 300 homes being developed by millionaire Juan Paliza that are going up in Montellano. These homes are being priced at $55,000. They are called Las Casitas. Has anyone seen them?

Seen them from the road, but not inside.

I don't know.
I can't look at it now.
The website plays music and started to play over my music in the bar.

Default I Hear

Those little places just a bit before the bomba in Montellano are the folks who were shifted, if that is the appropriate word, from their domiciles in Begantin and moved there -- relocated in other words, and are small, 2 BR, that likely have limited investment value for foreigners, are populated already for about 8 mos. to a year by Dominicans. Never heard ot the investor you mentioned but that means little here. If you happen to be Dominican and looking to get home or something then maybe it is a reasonable place for you.

Looks to me from the slideshow on their website, that it is in fact those apartments/condos we see on the South side of the highway, 1 mile this side of la bomba in Montellano, and they show beach pics form Bergantin, as if they were right on that land.
I guess you could walk to playa Bergantin in an hour or so, if you're up to the challenge.

So these inexpersive homes are better suited for Dominicans currently living there?

55,000 doesn't seem too bad a price for a foreigner who needs a vacation spot a few times a year.

am i wrong ??

You're not wrong, however this one particular place, could hardly be described as a "vacation spot".
