    I just moved from PR last year and I never paid more than 500.00 a month for a 4bdrm house with 3car garage. My last rental was in Luquillo and I paid 350.00 for a 3bdrm house 3 car garage & gated/fenced large lot with a garden and fruit trees. But those rents you speak of is probably in some of the gated communities catering to non-locals for the most part. My brother pays 750.00 mortgage for his 4 bedroom house with 1/4acre of land. But you need to be willing to move away from the "touristy" areas. The only thing i found expensive in PR was the electricity which would fluctuate from 60.00 to 80.00. I paid only 15.00 for water. The wifi I had with Liberty & that was 50.00 a month.

      @@Thenewgards - I have friends and family there. Not much. And it alll depends on where u want to live. I detailed that in my post. I still have all of my pages of rentals around the island & it's really still the same except in the areas where they want the boogie non-locals to come.

      Exactly,correct.. No disrespect but letting you know the reality, but If they think your a gringo who knows nothing of what average price on each region they will take advantage of you.

    For local goods many towns (maybe even most towns) have a Plaza Del Mercado usually found in downtown areas.. You would just have to go downtown and ask locals if there is a Plaza Del Mercado and where it is...

    Some people are saying that the rent is a little high but they seem to forget it's a gateway community so that would be considered kind of cheap swimming pool tennis court And other amenities it Must come with

    • @jamesxpri

      I know right! A gated community, with 24 hours security plus all the amenities and it's right next to the beach!

    Rent sounds very high. Electrical you're doing very well taking into account how much it costs per KWH.
    Btw, what happened to the movie gig you mentioned a while back but never talked about it again?

    The price of the rent is outrage. I guess they are charging you for the air you breathe too.

      comparing to other similar places (gated community, 24hr security, amenities + right next to surf spots and touristy places) it seems like it's about the same, actually cheaper when we've done our research ..especially in Isabela - righ tnext to Jobos

    $1600 a month is very expensive. Maybe because it's a gated community with all the extras.

      Your water is very cheap there. Iam surprised on your rent. I thought it would be much less. I guess if it's like in the usa everything is going up for no apparent reasons. I know the car insurance is very cheap there.
