Apartments for sale in Ensanche Ozama, Santo Domingo Este

What Ensanche Ozama is like

Ensanche Ozama stretches along the east bank of the Ozama river, facing the National District. It dates back to the 1950s, when the Trujillo government tried to settle it with military personnel, and today it is a large, long-established neighbourhood.

Venezuela Avenue is its commercial strip, known for its bars, clubs and liquor stores as well as banks and petrol stations; Sabana Larga Avenue has many bank branches. Between them and towards the river are residential streets with houses and apartment buildings from different decades.

Who it suits

People who want to be as close as possible to the National District while staying in Santo Domingo Este, with shops within walking distance, and buyers who prefer an apartment in an established neighbourhood to a new subdivision on the outskirts.

What to check

Where you are inside the neighbourhood makes a big difference: within a block or two of Venezuela Avenue there is music and traffic noise until late, especially at weekends, while inner streets are much quieter. Visit the apartment at night too.

In older buildings, check the plumbing, roof waterproofing and whether the generator covers the apartment or only the common areas.
