@Priscilla My husband and I were in Puerto Rico when the pandemic shut the world down. We opted to stay on Island because the people here were acting like they had sense and not fighting the masks and other safety measures. We were here for 16 ... Read More
Cost of Living in Puerto Rico in 2021 by Cheryl
Hello everybody, We would like to take stock of the changing cost of living in Puerto Rico, particularly in your city or region. The aim is to measure the impact that the health crisis may have had on your expenses. This will help other ...
The cost of property here is going up all the time. I can't speak about rentals but have been looking for a home in Hatillo. They don't stay on the market long. I still feel that housing is reasonable unless you are on the beach. The sad ... Read More
How much to offer for land. by My_Name_Was_Taken
I'm looking for a small plot close to the ocean in Puerto Rico. I'm in my early 40s and my plan is to finance the land, pay it off in ~5 years and then finance the construction of a vacation/retirement home. With agents working for sellers ...
I agree with Rey. Our costs are less here in Hatillo. We are still maintaining our Detroit home and are still spending less than if we were there running the heat. I am looking for property in Hatillo. It seems that the houses get snapped up fast. ... Read More

Worth Moving to PR now? by Jannyboy63
After the recent hurricanes PR has had to endure and the recent mass amounts of earthquakes, most people would think I was crazy to consider moving there. I only have my father living there alone. I will be retiring in 4 years and therefore was ...
I have been coming to Hatillo for the last 10 years. As others have said there is crime everywhere, but I have no fear and see no drug crime here. At this point, I have no return ticket to the USA. I have been ready to stay for some time. Now to ... Read More
Curfew in Puerto Rico by Chris1304
Now that we have a Curfew and general shutdown, can someone explain the details? What stores remain open? When is it o.k. to leave the house? Do they really hand out %5000 fines? Are banks open? What if your car breaks down? Is there a website ...
We have canceled our return flight that was scheduled for 4-11-2020. Not going to any airports for a while. So glad we brought the cats with us. Read More
