Thoughts about these Locations

Dos Marinas was once one of the best properties in the east but now it's dated. Good marinas there though.

Also, crime has spiked in Fajardo over the last 15 years.

Thanks NomadLawyer! We liked the Loction for Dos Marinas for it's access to the Ferry, and to Seven Seas Beach.  My understanding is most of the Crime is Property crime (chime in if it's violent crime). Dated is not so bad, some of the owners have updated their units (at least so say the adds), and we used to live in Belize, so Dated has a whole different meaning sometimes. :-)

Tierra Del Sol is right down the road from Palmas Del Mar where I live. I've never been there but I drive past it on my way to the puma station .  It is right next to a little complex with a subway, a juice place, hairdresser, and vet office.  It is right by the main road too.  I'm not sure if you could have ocean view from there.

Thanks Donna,

Yea, some of the Penthouse apartments Claim Ocean View, but it might be one of those, see that dot of blue, that's the ocean. ;-).   Haven't really looked inside Palmas Much, seems like most of the things there with an Ocean View are a little bit above my budget, but then maybe I need to evaluate my budge, LOL.

Haha yes I think sometimes they say "ocean view" but only if you climb to the roof and use a ladder 😂😂.    Yes, some areas in Palmas are very expensive but I'd encourage you to take look anyways! I've seen some great deals and foreclosures posted on clasificados and on point to homes website as well.  . It's a great place to live imo.

Overpriced, in my opinion.

Thanks Donna, I'll keep an Open Mind.

Any suggestions on the East Side NomadLawyer?

There are many condos in the area of Ceiba, Fajardo and Luquillo with pools, gym, courts and great ocean views, they are right around PR3 road. Those usually go from 90k-140k and you could find cheaper. However unlike Palmas you do not have the high level of English community that you will have in Palmas, they are at least 60% locals there. These places are about 5 minutes from the beach or marinas by car maybe less.
