Spanish term or phrase: por allá abajo.
I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Dominican Spanish. Is okay to translate it as "Down there"

It's a translation of a phone conversation between two Dominican People living in The US.

Here is the full sentence:

para que el niño pueda tener su cuarto… su cuarto aparte porque el tiene su casa también. Lo que pasa es que el apartamento lo tiene por allá en “Downtown” Por la cincuenta, por allá abajo.
