Apartments for rent in Arroyo Hondo Viejo, Santo Domingo

What Arroyo Hondo Viejo is like

Viejo Arroyo Hondo, as it appears in the official division, is the oldest part of the Arroyo Hondo area and is upper-middle class. Its streets mix one- and two-storey houses with gardens, small gated developments and, increasingly, low-rise apartment buildings and the odd tower.

The National Botanical Garden, a large expanse of woodland and gardens, is its best-known neighbour and the reason many people choose it: few parts of the capital have so much green so close.

Roadworks on República de Colombia

República de Colombia Avenue, which runs past the Botanical Garden, is the area's main exit and one of the most congested roads in the north. In 2025 the government presented a road and environmental project for the corridor, including an overpass at Los Próceres and an environmental park along the Arroyo Hondo ravine. If you are buying to live in, find out what stage the works are at near your street.

Who it suits

Families who value space and greenery, people working in the north of the city or often heading to the Duarte highway, and buyers who prefer a low-rise building with few neighbours to a large tower.
