Casa de Campo Neighborhoods
Seven thousand acres, and within them several distinct places to call home — each with its own setting, outlook and pace. Here is how to choose among them.
One Resort, Several Very Different Addresses
Many buyers arrive thinking of Casa de Campo as a single place. Spend a few days inside the gates and it becomes several. The resort spans 7,000 acres and has grown in stages since 1974, so its residential areas differ far more than one shared address would suggest.
A fairway villa, a townhouse by the marina and an estate on the hillside above the Chavón River are three different ways of living here: a different setting, a different degree of privacy, a different shape to the day. Each also sits at its own point in the market.
What follows is how we read each area, and what usually decides between them. Homes available today, and their pricing, are on the Casa de Campo real estate page.
The Resort, Area by Area
Four broad settings, each with a character of its own.
Fairway Villas
The resort's most established residential areas follow its three courses, and the course you choose sets the scene. Teeth of the Dog plays along the Caribbean, Dye Fore sits above the Chavón River gorge and The Links is the inland parkland layout, so each gives a home a very different outlook.
La Marina & Dársena
Townhouses and villas on the water, a short walk from the 370-slip marina and its restaurants and boutiques. This is the resort at its most walkable and most sociable; Portofino Plaza alone gathers more than 20 shops and restaurants. Owners who choose it want life at the door, not seclusion.
Vista Chavón & Bahía Chavón
Above the Chavón River canyon, near Altos de Chavón, the hillside holds the resort's largest and most private lots. The ultra-luxury end of the market lives here, with the most dramatic river and sea outlooks. Privacy comes from the size of the land, not only from distance.
Los Lagos & Homesites
Lakeside and interior parcels offer a lower entry point into the resort, including buildable lots for owners who would rather design a custom villa than buy one already built. A sensible way into the address without the hillside price.
What Really Sets Them Apart
Fairway, marina, river canyon, lake or garden. No other choice shapes how a home feels from one day to the next as much, and none is harder to change later.
Around the marina, restaurants and boutiques are a short walk away. The hillside gives up that immediacy in return for larger lots and more privacy. Neither is better; each suits a different kind of owner.
Existing villas come up for resale here, and those who would rather commission something of their own will find buildable parcels in both the interior and the golf-front areas.
A full-time home, a seasonal base and a vacation retreat call for different things from a location, and owners planning to place a villa in the resort's managed rental programme often weigh it differently again. Living in Casa de Campo shows how daily life changes from one part of the resort to another.
Each area occupies its own tier of the market, from the interior homesites up to the hillside estates. For current asking prices by property category, turn to the Casa de Campo destination page.
From experience: the neighborhoods feel very different on the ground than they look on a map, and buyers who see two or three of them in one visit almost always rework their shortlist. A viewing trip is best planned around exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rather than one uniform development, Casa de Campo's 7,000 acres divide into distinct residential zones. Broadly there are four: golf-front villas on the three Pete Dye courses, the marina district, the hillside above the Chavón River, and the lakeside and interior homesites.
Start with the golf-front areas along Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore and The Links, the resort's most established residential zones. Each course gives its homes a noticeably different setting, so walk more than one before you decide.
Yes. You will find buildable parcels in both the interior and the golf-front zones. Lakeside and interior areas such as Los Lagos generally come in at lower entry points than the established villa districts.
