All
about Puerto Plata, Costambar and Cofresi Real Estate |
| The city of Puerto
Plata curves around the base of towering Mt. Isabel de Torres,
whose pinnacle can be reached by an electrified sky lift system
called the teleférico. A manicured botanical garden
dominated by an illuminated statue of Christ - a scaled-down
version of the one in Rio de Janeiro - crowns its summit.
The charm of Puerto Plata, the largest city on the North Coast,
is enhanced by the extent and variety of its Victorian architecture,
unrivaled by any other Dominican city. Stylistically, the
gingerbread motifs, wooden 'lace' filigree, and pastel colors
of its houses and public buildings convey the romantic aura
of an earlier time, but functionally they house a tourist-oriented
city's businesses, offices, shops, bars, restaurants and clubs.
History is also preserved here in the imposing San Felipe
Fort, built by the Spaniards in the 16th century as protection
against seaborne invaders. The fort, which was used as a prison
until the 1960's, now houses a fine museum that documents
its interesting history. Visitors strolling the city's picturesque
streets will also want to take time to see Puerto Plata's
extraordinary Amber Museum, the Brugal rum factory, and stroll
the length of the Malecón, the lively seaside boulevard.

Within
the area of Puerto Plata, you can find upscale neighbourhoods
such as Bayardo, Torre Altas and of course ocean front apartments
along the recently renovated malecon. Moving west along the
coast are the residential / vacation areas of Costambar and
Cofresi, which offer value for money ocean front villas at
prices seen in the Sosua / Cabarete area 4 years ago.
While some feel comfortable in the ex-pat enclaves
of Sosua / Cabarete, others who are looking to make the move
long term, might find Puerto Plata or Costambar a more practical
choice due to the proximity of schools, supermarkets and medical
facilities. |
