Paraíso
WELCOME TO PARAÍSO
Paraíso is a well-established residential neighborhood in Santo Domingo, strategically located between Avenida 27 de Febrero and Expreso John F. Kennedy. This central location places it in close proximity to key commercial areas while maintaining its predominantly residential character. The neighborhood is particularly known for its mix of traditional single-family homes and modern residential developments.
The area benefits from its elevation, which provides natural ventilation and, in some sections, views of the city. Paraíso is bordered by Los Prados to the north, Ensanche Quisqueya to the south, and La Fe to the east, creating a well-connected residential enclave within the National District. The neighborhood's street layout follows a traditional grid pattern, with Calle César Nicolás Penson serving as one of its main arteries.
Over recent years, Paraíso has seen thoughtful development that respects its residential nature while incorporating modern amenities. The neighborhood maintains strict zoning regulations that help preserve its character, with building heights generally limited to protect the area's residential scale. This planning approach has helped maintain property values and neighborhood aesthetics.
