Trying to budget a move to Santurce by miminich
Hi all! I've been scanning this forum and haven't found an answer to this question. Please forgive me if this is a redundant/common query. My girlfriend and I plan to move to Santurce in January of 2017. We will bring a car, and hope to ...
We moved to Old San Juan in January 2015 and did not bring a car, waited to purchase after our first six months on Island. There are reputable car dealerships on Island so purchasing was not a hassle for us except to find dealerships with enough ... Read More
Around the island in a day by hturner12
Is it possible to drive around the island in one day?
After living here for a while, we use Dollar Rental and have had no issues with them. And to answer your question about Ft. Buchanan, yes you can make it there before seven, but with an arrival time of 4:00 p.m., getting luggage and rental car, ... Read More

More red flags hinting at PR's future? by seoulguy
Those who've committed to PR one way or another and those contemplating it (including myself, but less every day), should pay attention to Padilla's televised address tonight. See if you can detect the winds of bank runs or ...
We won't be moving to Fajardo until the end of the month. Someone suggested Rincon to us and it was on list of places to look, but we found this place and the size and price was what we were looking for. We found a car and just paid cash, ... Read More
Safest neighborhood in San Juan Metro? by seoulguy
I cannot find the actual FBI crime stats for the metro area; best alternative is a 2013 article, now out of date, of course, at this site, which provides the sole reason why I'd prefer not to locate in the metro ...
We moved to Old San Juan 7 months ago because we wanted to be immersed in the culture, live in the Old City, etc. etc. etc. We are now moving to Fajardo. As much as we loved the amazing ocean view we have, it is very noisy and during high season ... Read More
Luquillo Kioskos by Jolo84
Has anyone been to the Luquillo Kiosks lately? A friend of mine just came from PR and i suggested that she go there because as a child we would go every weekend. She came back and said how dirty and run down it is now. We're going back in ...

Vehicle Search - What Seems To Be A Scam by dcarterbriscoe
We have been in San Juan for five months and originally did not want a vehicle because we live in Old San Juan, but we now want a vehicle and everyone says to check out clasificadosonline.com, which we have done. We have located a few vehicles of ...
Thanks. They continually tell us they are not a scam and can be trusted. Too pushy for my taste. We may have to pay more, but will go to a dealer. Usually if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Read More

Neither of us work so that wouldn't be an issue; but we don't have a car so the issue would be to move somewhere that we can walk and get to things easily or even the public transportation. We typically just rent a car once a month to ... Read More

I will share this information with my husband. While I'm okay with 90 miles, it will be up to him. Plus, we would need to check on cost of a mover to get our things out there. Is Rincon a good area if we don't have a vehicle? Do you have ... Read More

Best way to get personal "stuff" to PR by suzanne12345
We are moving in a month from VA to PR. We will be renting a furnished apartment. As I get ready to leave (plus husband and 3 teen daughters) it is clear we will need to ship some stuff. UPS is expensive, PODs are too big and very expensive as well. ...
Upack.com was amazing. I would definitely recommend. We moved to Old San Juan so the relo cube could not be brought here, but we found a great local mover if you need one. Read More

We just moved to San Juan and USPS is definitely the best and most economical. Just be sure to get a tracking number because postal service depending on where you live is not always timely. Read More

We will be in an old building just across from the Forts so not sure if that makes a difference and we don't have an AC unit so probably won't have a mold issue. Thanks so much for your response. Read More
