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 expatriates on the spot and all those who would like to relocate there in the near or more distant future.

> What is the price of a property rental in Puerto Rico? What about buying a property?

> How much does petrol cost or how much does it cost to use the various public transport services?

> How much do you spend on average on your weekly groceries in Puerto Rico? Have you noticed a change in the price of staple foodstuff?

> What is the price of your health insurance? How much does seeing a general practitioner or specialist cost?

> How much are your children's school fees? What about the cost of childcare?

> How much do you spend on your regular bills (water, electricity, mobile phone package, internet subscription etc.) on a monthly basis?

> What budget do you set aside for your leisure activities in Puerto Rico? What is the price of a cinema or concert ticket? How much does a subscription to a gym cost?

Do not hesitate to indicate any other price changes you may have in mind.

Many thanks,

Cheryl,

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 thing is I see homes just sitting going to rot. Families can't agree on selling
and they just sit for years.

We pay $33 for internet. No cable.
We don't run AC often as we are comfortable, so electricity is about $45.
Water is about $28.
We are just 2 adults, so no information about schools or fees.

Good luck.

Good question!  Relocating to Caguas at the end of this year and researching all these information.  Any information/recommendation anyone can provide for shipping companies will be appreciated.  Thank you and stay safe!
