Naco one of the BEST Neighborhoods in Santo Domingo? 

I recommend anyone visiting Santo Domingo to visit El Meson De La Cava. It's a cave restaurant. Great food and beautiful scenery.

Wow, Naco looks very liveable and quiet, perfect for a 3-month stay every year for me and the family! Thanks for showing this wonderful city of Santo Domingo.

We gotta do something about them cables on the streets; they make those nice areas look really bad; I heard the Mayor has an ambitious plan to place them underground, especially in the Piantini and Naco areas, but it comes at a huge cost; hundreds of millions of dollars, but it can be done; all it takes is the will power, bc the resources are there. Great video, man, as always. Take care.

Naco is a great neighborhood

I plan to move to the Piantini area but Naco is looking nice, you and your wife’s videos inspire me

Salute to you my brother. Today is memorial Day. Let's remember the falling soldiers

Thanks for posting this, Jay. I'm definitely contemplating my move from California to the DR. Once I retire, I'm gone!

Great quality of life, Iove the Naco, Piantini and Bella Vista areas

My Wife and I just got back from DR. We went to the food truck village and ended up in a hookah spot. We walked around Naco around 10 PM and felt safe, it was so nice and convenient that we went 2 nights in the row.

Bro you showed how most people in Santo Domingo are living, a lot of people think the Dominican Republic is poor... By the way you walked by the building me and my lady was staying at.. Peace Bro and Happy Late Mother's Day to your wife ...

Piantini and Naco for me everything is right there

Nice area

Jay😂 the presidente, is always on point

The amount of building in Naco alone is crazyy. I think pretty soon they’re not gonna have any room left

Jay, I appreciate your time and your videos. Thank you for sharing candid videos of the neighborhood of Naco and Santo Domingo.

Awesome video. 👍

Great video Jay, not only Santo Domingo has buildings or great places but also la trinitaria Santiago de los caballeros , San Francisco de Macoris , La Romana , Juan Dolio san pedro de macoris , great places like Constanza Jarabacoa of la vega, Puerto Plata , San Cristobal , moca ect.....not only punta cana like people think lol. Other places getting there Samana , Bani , Bonao ect....

What's up bro? It's good to see you showing others what a very nice area that is.... I live right of 27 De Febrero. I love the area,.. I can walk to everything I need from Supermercado Nacional, Wendy's, McDonalds, Bravo, and many other places within 2-5 blocks from my apartment. I always walk around in the neighborhood

I live in NaCO as well for 2yrs now.

Happy to see your channel growing. Naco older buildings have amazing speace.

Thank you and your wife so much! This may sound ignorant, but I did not know there is a Korean store there. I love Korean food! I’m a foodie😂

I love ur videos hope one day i will move to my beautiful country DR

Nice video, Naco is super

Nice video! good job

Nice area ❤

Yeah man, I'll be in Distro Central por siete días. Chillin with a chica of course, but the main focus is to see what's going on. All part of the retirement strategy.

The park where you filmed in the beginning I basically meditate there at night time every day sometimes I see suspicious people here and there but for the most part it's calm

Definitely seems like a nice area.. I’m really trying to decide between Santiago and Santo Domingo…

Loving the views bro!!! Very clean & modern looking

Love the content!

I'd like to know about your perception of the electoral process in DR and the political climate so far.

My man got a Banreservas account 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you are officially Dominican lmao

Excellent video, Jay! The quality and the music is always on point. It makes me feel like I’m there, and it’s so relaxing. You should do more of these if it’s safe for you to do so. Love your channel, Fam. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another great video. Great seeing parts of a nice area of the city.

I showed my wife this video of Naco and we both started laughing because she would always say that you shouldn’t walk around with your stuff out because someone might take it, lol. I said look at your face because you looked a little nervous about walking around with your camera! 😂😂😂😂. I know the feeling, bruh. But I still love being in DR. Once you know how the city is you get used to it and take all the good with some of the bad 😅

You have told the truth❤, all those channels are addicted to talking about problems or problems with Haiti, but there are many rich people in Santo Domingo, in Punta Cana, in La Romana, in Santiago, etc.💪🏼🇩🇴

Brother Jay thanks fir the nice Naco your; my friend owns an Airabb apt there. Naco is one of the best areas in SD.

Another great video Jay! My wife and I will probably set up shop in SD and explore the rest of the DR from there when we move there. Thanks!

To see a security guard where you are is a good thing. These are the good guys that keep the delincuentes away. Salute to that man keeping that area safe!🫡

I spend a few years of my youth in this area and it was awesome. I always felt save back then. 😅

Hey Jay - I live in Piantini with my family and our American friends live in Naco. We should link up soon.

I remember when Naco was just houses, of course big houses and Naco been known for being a rich neighborhood, but as you say most of them are occupied by Dominican who has been able to move forward in live and I really believe that my country will become a really middle class country for all their citizens.

Thank u so much for this video is such a beautiful place.

As a kid I used to spend summers in DR. In the 1980s my aunt lived in a house in Naco (corner of Calle Arboleda and Calle Luis Alberti) . You walked right down the street in this video. Most of that area was 1 and 2 story big houses then. The only thing still there from that time is supermercado Amigo but it was much smaller. I used to hang out all over that neighborhood. Plaza Naco was fun back then. How different it was . Good times.

looks good

Another good one Jay! But when you said, you were going to bust that block bro you took me out wit that one! All the way back to the hood! 😂😂😂😂

What's up Jay. I always appreciate your content. We have a similar way of thinking and your content is really helpful to me. I'm planning on possibly coming down in the fall and would like to get a consultation with you and the Mrs. Keep up the 🔥content✊

I like the laid-back vibe of your videos 👍 My wife and I are considering moving to the DR for a while, until little man goes to school. btw I would not recommend putting your CC details out there. Be safe my friend 👋

The area looks amazing

Great neighborhood really nice

Another dope vid brother. Keep inspiring those who wanna know, but don't know. Why are you walking in that hot azz sun man? Get yoself a scooter bike and be done.😂 #findyourparadise

Speaking from the point of a cinematographer; I like this video editing and music placement. I'm very into the talking point. There are local politicians and foreign ambassadors in that area.

Of course! El Naco is one of the most beautiful and important area in Santo Domingo I used to work not too far from there and went to study in the university UNPHU

I like to see you walking around😊

Thanks for the view. Very nice area

Thus far Naco and Bella Vista are two of my favorite neighborhoods in StoDgo. Another excellent video, Jay. Enjoy Hermano 🙏🏾

This is the best channel if you want to improve your English. He speaks very clearly and descriptively, congratulations Jay, good job, blessings to you.

Good info, Thanks.

Beautiful scenery, I’m enjoying the views!! It’s really normal to see all the security with guns, my first thought too was what’s going on. But you do feel safe while you are there, I have been there many times and enjoy going out and not have to worry.

Look like better than Brooklyn

I like your videos & will continue following. Kind of having plans of maybe living in DR sometime soon. You showing things from a rational neutral perspective. Good work!

Thanks for positive vibe and congrats on your Chanel

Ese es el parque La Arboleda, está a una esquina de mi casa, muy buen sector.

love your videos bro,keep up the nice work.👍👍👍👍👍

Looks awesome 👏

Your best video yet, cuz 💪🏾💯

Good work brother! 🙏

7:20 anyway we can get a tour in that korean martet

Nice video!

Amen!

Great video bruh

Bruh u gotta try the cherry viva 100 shit is good enjoy my country g

Bendisione. Primo

Also Jay keep up the videos man your really helping me a lot bro… great information… we have the same mindset… hopefully I can meet you one day when I make that move

So let's say backpack with the Macbook to coffee shops daily to work - I'm going to get robbed if I do that for a few months? Have to take a taxi every time? Thoughts? (Would kind of kill my interest in living there :( I had not walking.)

Piece of advice... It´s safer to walk with your camera or phone in the mains streets, specially in Naco (Tiradentes or Ortega&Gasset Avenue). Since there is more movement usually they won't mog you there. Now, walking on those lonely streets makes you an easy target.

Hey Jay, what's the name of that mic you're using? I'm a new sub and just wanted to say your audio is great. I'd like to purchase that mic if you have a link (referral link too, I don't mind) to share please? Thanks! Great content

I love Naco, is so nice, clean and pretty. I’m assuming you already know the area or do you still get lost ?

Santo Domingo looks like South Florida.

yo man great video I live in Santo Domingo asswell im a local so if you need anything hit me up

Great video. Thanks for it. But like you asked I’ll tell you what I think. It appears walking outside it not promoted. Meaning there is no reason to walk outside because there is nothing but buildings, narrow streets, narrow sidewalks, massive traffic, no local stores easily walking distance. It seems everyone is stuck in their apartments or driving outside. The park looked lonely but you did say it was Election Day. Idk brother. I know you’re from Ft. Lauderdale so you know how this compares to the walk by downtown Dr Lauderdale. The streets are wider and more local places that encourages people to walk outside. Midtown, brickell, people stay outside walking. To me it’s not just about creating buildings. Gotta add value to the buildings by have a great first floor experience. Even NY they got bodegas and stuff outside. Again great video brother. I seen your eyes looking in all corners those are NY eyes watch every corner I’m familiar with that. Keep pushing content.

Maybe I was lucky but that day after I went voting, I got to a colmado here in Santo Domingo Este and bought 4 Presidentes 😅

I wish the government would add more traffic Stopsigns.

Jay, as an American-Dominican looking to move over there some day, do you think it is better to own or rent? … And if you had to put Piantini, Naco and Bella Vista in order from best to least best, in what order would you put them?

Hello, Nice channel. Like you said I live in NY "nice income" but the cost of live is to high and quality is too low. You made make thinking in doing the jump, my work is 100% online; my wife says she is not going back. But I am like, if he can make the jump, why not me. Good Luck and if I ever meet you in DR, let me buy a Presidente!

04:23 Naco is nice in an urban style. Are there any nice places in a suburban style or single-family house style? What about those new communities under construction in Punta Cana that are selling for $60K - $90K USD, are they real or a scam? And, are you guys buying one? 11:23 So true. You can't lift anyone up if you're down there with them.

Hi Jay, thanks for the walk thru of Naco, it has to be top 5 neighborhoods to live in the city?? I have a question, I li e in NJ and am looking to purchase something there but I want to start making payments from here. Which bank or banks can I use to deposit here to transfer there ?? That you can recommend?? Thanks Jay, keep living up that life!!

Hey Jay can you make a video of getting a remote work to go and live in DR because i really miss my country and want to go back 🥲

J, how far is Blue Mall and Angora Mall from Naco?

Is this Santo Domingo?

Hi! Can you share some information about getting health insurance in DR? Thanks!

A lot of the time when you get robbed in the high end areas, it's because they've been checking you out for a minute, to see how you move, who you are, and what you normally wear and where you live, etc. I mean, I'm not saying that someone wouldn't just randomly roll up on you, and it's always best to be safe, because I'm the same way, but I do think it's still that US mentality that's still ingrained within our system and the motor bikers that make it feel like it's unsafe. The reason why I say this, is because you can clearly see the amount of wealth there is in these areas, criminals aren't just rolling around everywhere, because these are secure areas of city.

Mr. Jay I use to live in avenida Frank feliz Miranda # 17 one block over from Centro Olimpico in Naco. My cousin owns that house and his son has a comedor witch is a cafeteria with Dominican food and very inexpensive. Stop by and buy some food and tell him that I sent you his name is Franklin.

In Naco you shouldn't be too worried of someone grabbing your camera. Of course I can't say it 100% wouldn't happen but chances are very low.

Yeah nodoubt

¿ which gym chain u go to their in santo domingo

Naco, Gazcue, Piantini, Los Prados, Las Praderas, San Geronimo those are neighborhood of Upper Middle Class to Rich people in DR. I'm glad those are mostly occupied by Dominicans and not foreigners don't get me wrong everybody is welcome! just glad that gentrification hasn't kicked in yet like in other places like the US where locals get pushed out from people from other states with higher incomes.

I hope that New President they getting let people travel without passport or visa because it becomes very difficult for relatives in Dominican Republic to see their families in the US maybe the job market can boom in both ways Help is help

Yea… that’s a nice neighborhood. Is it always that quiet, or its like that , because it’s Election Day? Yea James I had the same feelings and reaction , the first time I visited the DR and saw these guards with these humongous guns. I was like wow, criminally is bad down here. 😀😀🤨🤨😀. But then I realized it was just standard practice 😀😀😀. WoW funny you mention it.

Can you give me a range of what rent would be like there for a 3 bedroom two baths?
