Santo Domingo de Heredia is one of the nicer residential towns in Costa Rica. Situated only 12 km north of San Jose, 6 km east of Heredia (the provincial capital) and a short drive from San Jose International airport (SJO), it is surrounded by coffee plantations, and its main inhabitants stem from the original planters' families.
Houses have well maintained exteriors, splendidly kept interiors and luxurious gardens, particularly behind many original adobe dwellings, such as ours.
