from US considering moving to PR. no big cities. best area? by madtowner

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read my post. My wife and I are looking to relocate to a tropical, quiet environment. We want a place on a beach. I want to be in an area with space to move but reasonably close (30 minutes to 1 hour) to an ...

ElGringoLoco

Ouch! Tough time to be moving to PR for anybody. I would still rather be here than anywhere in the US but I have shifted my job search to Central and South America. The Government here has driven this Island to the brink of collapse. Read More

Moving to PR by Familyof5

Hello...we are a family with children that are planning on moving to the Dorado area. My husband will be working in Hato Rey. Can anyone tell me how the commute is? Thank you!

ElGringoLoco

Commuting to SJ from Dorado is all about timing. I've been in Dorado since 2003. If you leave @ 6:10 AM you'll be in Hato Rey in 30 Minutes....If you leave Dorado at 6:15 AM you'll be in Hato Rey in 1 1/2 Hours. Try not to fall into the routine ... Read More

Need PR Moving Company recommendations by erininpr

We have to pick a moving company because we are leaving PR and all I'm getting are horror stories. Anyone have a good experience with movers here? Thanks!

ElGringoLoco

We have relocated to the US and returned back to PR both times. Monte-Rosa Del Monte gave us the best service. I did "Lose" an expensive watch on one of the moves. We learned how to do it right when we returned to PR in 2010. We left Puerto Rico ... Read More

If you want to be close enough to San Juan but far enough to feel like you are in a different Island, check out Dorado. Read More

Poppycock! Puerto Rico is one of the most open minded cultures I've ever experienced. My experience since 1996 has been that Puerto Rican's do not like any foreigner that is demeaning or demonstrates a superiority attitude. I made the mistake of ... Read More

ElGringoLoco

Have heard many good things about Dorado Academy...Tasis is good as well but I believe there may be a "Brand Name" factor going on there. You would LOVE living in Dorado. We've lived in the other "°µÍø½ûÇø" areas. We've been in Dorado since ... Read More

Dorado Academy is a decent school. There is also Tasis in Dorado...I believe it is more expensive. Education is different here in PR than in the states. Good luck. Read More

best gated beach front communities on the western side of Puerto Rico? by davidrothbard

Are there any gated communities on the western side of Puerto Rico that have beach access? I was thinking of the Rincon area, but either north or south of that area should be fine too. I'm looking for a nice place to rent that's in the $1500 a ...

ElGringoLoco

Dorado is in my opinion the absolute best place to live in Puerto Rico. Close enough to San Juan that you can take care of business, yet just far enough from the hustle and bustle. Read More

Living in Guaynabo by trn

Hello. I'm new to this forum. I have found the information here quite useful. Only surprise is there seems to be a bit more polarized views on living in PR versus other °µÍø½ûÇøs blogs I've read. My wife and I are considering a move to PR for a few ...

ElGringoLoco

Hello fellow °µÍø½ûÇøs! There's only 2 places I'd live in PR. Dorado & Guanica. On extreme opposite sides of the Island. Dorado is my close to the city Oasis. I love it here. Guanica is the laid back coastal town that I would like to retire to in ... Read More
