Living in Casa Linda

Casa Linda has been attracting North American and European retirees for decades. The social infrastructure is well established, there are resident events, communal spaces, and enough familiar faces that new arrivals do not feel like strangers for long. It is not for people who want to immerse in Dominican culture, but for those who want a comfortable expat community base on the North Coast, it is hard to beat.
