Apartments for rent in El Millón, Santo Domingo

What El Millón is like

El Millón is a residential neighbourhood in the Distrito Nacional that has swapped houses for mid- and high-rise apartment towers in just a few years. Its spine is Núñez de Cáceres Avenue, especially the stretch near the 27 de Febrero junction, one of the busiest spots for banks, shops and restaurants on the west side of the city.

South of Rómulo Betancourt Avenue you are already in Bella Vista, which is why many people who start looking in Bella Vista end up viewing flats in El Millón too.

Who it suits

Couples and young families who want a new building with amenities without moving far from the centre, and buyers looking for a first home or a rental investment in an established part of the Distrito Nacional.

Getting around

Núñez de Cáceres links El Millón with John F. Kennedy Avenue to the north and the 30 de Mayo highway to the south, and 27 de Febrero gets you to the Polígono Central business district in a few minutes. The Núñez/27 de Febrero junction backs up at rush hour, so if you commute elsewhere, try the route at that time before you commit.

What to check in an El Millón building

Much of the supply is projects delivered in recent years or still under construction. Compare actual handover dates with promised ones, check how many parking spaces come with each unit and whether the generator covers the whole apartment or only the common areas. In towers right on Núñez de Cáceres, ask about traffic noise on the lower floors.
