Arroyo Hondo and Cuesta Hermosa
WELCOME TO ARROYO HONDO AND CUESTA HERMOSA
Arroyo Hondo and Cuesta Hermosa are two of Santo Domingo's most prestigious residential areas, known for their elegant homes, tree-lined streets, and exclusive atmosphere. These neighborhoods represent the pinnacle of luxury living in the Dominican Republic's capital city, with properties ranging from modern mansions to sophisticated apartments in premium residential complexes.
Located in the northern part of Santo Domingo, these communities offer a perfect blend of urban convenience and suburban tranquility. The area is characterized by its rolling hills, which provide many properties with stunning views of the city and, in some cases, glimpses of the Caribbean Sea.
