Apartments for rent in Bella Vista, Santo Domingo

What Bella Vista is like

Bella Vista is an upper-middle and upper-class residential area of the National District that keeps growing upwards: many of its original houses have given way to apartment towers with pools, gyms and social areas.

Sarasota Avenue is its commercial spine, with Bella Vista Mall, supermarkets, banks and restaurants, while Núñez de Cáceres and Rómulo Betancourt avenues, which meet in the neighbourhood, connect it with the rest of the city.

Mirador Sur Park next door

Its big advantage over the business district is Mirador Sur Park, one of the city's main green spaces, where people walk, run and cycle. Towers closest to the park and the tallest ones command a premium for their views.

Who it suits

Families wanting a residential setting with schools and supermarkets nearby, and buyers looking for modern towers with a bit less bustle than Piantini. Rental demand is strong too, both furnished and unfurnished.

What to check

Bella Vista is large and prices vary: proximity to the park, orientation and floor level make a big difference. For off-plan projects, ask what else is being built nearby, since new towers can block the views being sold today.
