Puerto Plata is the capital of the north coast and the city with the most services in the region: hospitals, universities, shopping and the Gregorio Luperón international airport. The historic centre keeps its Victorian houses, the San Felipe fortress and the cable car up Isabel de Torres mountain. The Amber Cove and Taíno Bay cruise ports have boosted the local economy in recent years.

For buyers, the most popular areas are Costambar and Cofresí (beach communities minutes from the centre), Playa Dorada (golf and hotels) and the city's new residential projects. Prices are usually lower than in Sosúa or Cabarete, which attracts buyers looking for a first home in the Caribbean or a rental investment.
