Haiti’s most exclusive neighborhoods: Below are some of the neighborhoods, suburbs, and cities in Haiti that are known to house many of the wealthy, elites, foreign businessmen/diplomats, etc. Security, infrastructure, and amenities are usually better (though not always guaranteed) in these areas. If you want, I can also map them so you see relative locations.
Haiti’s Most Exclusive Neighborhoods: Major Wealthy Areas
Mostly concentrated around the Port‑au‑Prince metro area, especially in elevated, more secure/suburban sections:

If you like, I can break this down by city or show you a list of specific “luxury blocks” or gated communities. Let us know in the comment for a little motivation. You can also watch the video here.
