Keep in mind that the cost of living here is not considerably lower than in the mainland.

Look at the west coast: Cabo Rojo, Rincon or one of the small islands off the east coast: Culebra and Vieques.

We speak Spanish here but in San Juan and the places I mentioned you can get by with English.

Gary, you were very helpful, thank you. I'm considering a visit in the near future, if there is anything I should know, please feel free to pass it on...........Kramer

You're welcome.

I'd suggest you read as much as you can about living here on the island. The forum on this site is a great place to start. Almost all the info in older topics is still valid.
