Santiago de los Caballeros is the second-largest city in the Dominican Republic and the economic engine of the Cibao valley: free-trade zones, industry, commerce and universities such as PUCMM. It has its own international airport (Cibao) with direct flights to New York, Miami and other cities, which makes it very popular with Dominicans living abroad.

The market is dominated by apartments in new towers in districts such as Los Jardines, Cerros de Gurabo, Villa Olga, Jardines Metropolitanos and La Trinitaria, plus houses in gated communities and off-plan projects. It is a primary-home and long-term rental market, not a holiday one, with more stable prices.
