I grew up here in Cabo Rojo which is the town or city as they're called here next to Mayaguez. I know for a fact that houses in "urbanizaciones" or newer sub divisions were extremely overpriced up until a year ago and the builders have ... Read More

Hey Liz, As far as I know Cayey is popular with folks here for having a stretch of road full of roadside pork restaurants and a country setting very much like Mayaguez. Cayley is much more closer to San Juan which depending on your needs may or May ... Read More

Drivers License by frogrock

I will finally be living permanently in PR, starting this September. My home state is New York. Can I exchange my NY drivers license for a PR license? Thanks for your help. Carroll

Herbert Homebody

I remember taking the written test a few decades ago and it was simple enough but that's about it. I also just googled DTOP PR and it gives me the option to open the page using google translate right there on the results page and reading up on ... Read More

If things haven't changed, yes you can and it's a walk in the park the way I remember it. Nowadays you can google the so called DTOP which stands for departamento transportación obrarás públicas and providing it is working (as ... Read More

40k a year for three, living in the country should be more than plenty if you keep it simple. You'd probably want to look into any town close by the southern town of Ponce, the western town of Mayaguez or to Arecibo in the north as this will ... Read More

Is a quiet, simple life possible in PR on a modest income? by Sloan1932

Herbert Homebody

Hello there, I live here on very little money but even owning your house, car and such $700 wouldn't be enough unless you never see a doctor, buy cable, internet, entertainment and such. You can still shop on Amazon though! Good luck! Read More

Thank you so much, I happen to love the old lighthouse and used to go hiking there all the time, I hear it's been remodeled and turned into a "museum" but if you like nature there's a lot more to see on the west coast and in Cabo ... Read More
