4 Months Living in Puerto Rico...This is what I have learned so far by hct408
I wrote a post a couple months ago detailing my thoughts on Puerto Rico after having lived here for three weeks. We are now four months into our stay here and I have more to add. I guess, I want to point out that I think of expats who live here as ...
I have been here for 1 1/2 years and I agree with the Poster 100%!!!! Read More

Hi all, We invite you to talk about the cost of living in Puerto Rico in 2015, with an updated price listing. Don't forget to mention in which city of Puerto Rico you are living in. How much does it cost to live in Puerto Rico? > ...
I think something is wrong with Tonie's Utilities total of $110. Water is about $40 a month. We knew Electricity was high when we moved here, so we basically sweat all day in our condo and only use the A/C (and not really cold) at night in 2 ... Read More

Probably driving anywhere is the worst issue. If you get in your car, expect to be cutoff multiple times each trip. Also expect everyone round you to disobey every known traffic law. If there is only one turn lane, people will use the straight ... Read More

I would choose Panama. Especially if that is where your husband has to travel to work. The roads are much better in Panama. Just a guess, but I think crime is lower in Panama. Cost of living would be a lot lower in Panama!!!! I enjoyed Panama ... Read More

I think the Baldwin School is considered the best school in the country and they are full English. But I think their tuition is over $15000. We were about to enter the American Military Academy (right beside the Baldwin School), but at ... Read More

We were considering that school also, but it seemed kind of far from the hospital (on Google maps). Are there are decent places to live that would be convenient to that school and also not too far of a commute to the hospital? We would like the ... Read More
