I would've chosen Cabo Rojo or Rincón over the metro area in a heart beat and with my eyes closed. You only want to be near the airport if you travel a lot, but if you're going to live here, a two (aproximately) hour commute to the airport won't kill you when you decide to travel. Besides, there's the Aguadilla airport which is way closer to Cabo Rojo and Rincón. The beaches of the west are the best.

Gary Stevens It’s a really late reply but schools very much do vary place by place. The best schools on the island are mostly specialized schools where you have to take an exam to enter and learn extra material that being arts, science, math, trades etc. They are scattered around the island and are easily accessible no matter where you live but if the public route isn’t of your liking private schools like Notre Dame offer an excellent curriculum that divides students in the more American like level system where your child can take ap classes if they can handle them. In summary the choices are specialized schools that honestly not everyone enters or private schools which are a lot more expensive. Hope this helps!

When you live in the Washington, DC metro area, Palmas del Mar looks like a good bargain to me if you are looking for a nice place to retire. However, I do not like the beaches of the Humacao area, I rather live on the West Coast of the Island, specifically, Cabo Rojo. Another area is Dorado where I lived in the early 90s when it was a best-kept secret, but now is too congested and it has lost its charm. The beaches in the Dorado area are very nice also, Los Tubos, Mar Chiquita, Puerto Nuevo. The Cabo Rojo area is less developed and you can still find areas surrounded by nature, that is, unspoiled by untamed urbanization. My mother lives in Boquerón, across from the Bird Sanctuary, my favorite place to go running. The area of La Parguera is beautiful and the towns that follow are underdeveloped but move there with caution since the earthquakes.

Thanks for the nice tour of the property. It's a beautiful resort! I have heard that this is one of the more expensive places on the island. Now I know it! This is in no way very reflective of Cost of Living in Puerto Rico as a whole or average though. While usually housing is the top expense for most people, there are many other things as part of a budget (health care, groceries, insurance, cars/maintenance etc). Maybe I'll make a video about cost of living from our perspective which is MUCH more frugal and closer to the average Puerto Rican expenditures. (We seriously only live on appx $1000 total per month and don't feel deprived at all!)

Why is it that you can't be transparent about the living cost? The areas that you mentioned are high crime areas according to the lasted FBI criminal report. Please don't mislead the people about the serious criminal behavior in the areas that you mentioned.

If you file the paperwork moving from the Mainland to PR nets you a 4 percent tax rate on you, your partner and your business. A lot of people who live in these communities do just this and spend the rest of they’re lives paying little to no money on taxes which over 20 or 30 years adds up to in many cases millions of dollars saved while living in a golf resort. Sounds like a pretty sweet life to me

Living in one of the most expensive and exclusive communities in Puerto Rico isn’t something the average person gets to do. What’s it REALLY like to live in Puerto Rico….

Here is the cost of living in Cabo Rojo - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4ameattl8SqaM0 There are even less expensive places on the island.

Why aren't there houses built with central air conditioners in Puerto Rico? That's a bummer....
@JenThereDoneThat4 жыл бұрын
Central AC would be pretty expensive, due to the cost of electricity. I don't think it is even necessary. I run my office AC for a couple hours in the heat of the day (11am - 3pm), and only my bedroom AC at night to sleep. If my house had screens to keep the mosquitoes out, I would sleep with my windows open 9 months out of the year! The mountain towns don't need AC at all, and I like a big, cozy blanket when I sleep to keep me warm. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZbNc6loidqKf9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/e52tnaGFaLZoaJI

You really don't need that amount of electricity she said? OMG this is a Caribbean Island you'll need electricity. Puerto Rico weather in the east area could varied between 75 degrees Fahrenheit at night to 100 degrees Fahrenheit in daylight.This video has great PR.and it gives the island great promo but it's far from the reality. I don't know if is informative enough. Please before moving to Puerto Rico do you own search.

It hurts my ears every time i listen to an american pronouncing the names of places and cities in Puerto Rico. It seems that they don't even bother to learn to call them properly. Not to mention that most mainlanders are not bilingual. I read here some comments about "2nd class citizens". I am an argentine and i assume the "2nd class" qualification goes to the ones who can't speak more than one language, right?
