Living in Puerto Rico can be a unique and enriching experience, offering a blend of tropical beauty, rich culture, and a unique blend of Spanish and American influences. Here are some aspects to consider:
-
Climate: Puerto Rico has a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round. While the weather is generally pleasant, the island is susceptible to hurricanes during the Atlantic hurricane season (June to November).
-
Culture: The culture is a vibrant mix of Taino, Spanish, and African influences. Festivals, music, and dance are integral to daily life, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
-
Language: Spanish is the official language, but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas and business settings.
-
Cost of Living: The cost of living can vary, with some items being more expensive than the mainland U.S. and others being more affordable. Housing costs can be reasonable, and there are tax incentives for certain individuals.
-
Economy: The economy is diverse, with sectors like tourism, manufacturing, and services playing key roles. Puerto Rico has faced economic challenges, including a significant debt crisis, but efforts are being made to revitalize the economy.
-
Tax Incentives: Puerto Rico offers tax incentives to U.S. citizens who move to the island, making it an attractive option for those seeking tax advantages.
-
Natural Beauty: The island is known for its stunning beaches, rainforests, and mountains. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy a variety of activities, from hiking in El Yunque National Forest to exploring historic Old San Juan.
-
Healthcare: Healthcare facilities are generally of high quality, and Puerto Rico has a mix of public and private healthcare options.
-
Infrastructure: While the island has modern amenities and infrastructure, it has faced challenges, particularly after natural disasters. However, ongoing efforts are being made to improve and rebuild.
It’s important to note that, like any location, living in Puerto Rico comes with both positives and challenges. Individual experiences can vary, so it’s recommended to visit and explore the island to determine if it aligns with your lifestyle and preferences before making a decision to move.

Great information. Romeo Bill Burger-King is in Puerto Rico and living like a Burger-King. Mr. Whopper is enjoying life and is planning on buying a catamaran yacht and living the dream. The Junior Whopper is enjoying life in Puerto Rico without his 5-pound Yorkie puppy. The bad thing about living in Puerto Rico is the annual hurricane season.

I’ve just returned home from visiting one of my friends in Puerto Rico. They invested a few extra dollars to set there beautiful home up with solar and a battery backup system as well as Starlink. So while many or most were without power in the last hurricane they were able to stay completely operational in paradise.
As for the catamaran life it’s happening. I’m able to setup a home base on a dock for $400 to $600 a month and then travel to amazing islands that many only dream of seeing. Living life as full as possible is what I intend to do. I will keep sharing my experiences. It’s fun to be able to live life and not be controlled by the struggles of life.
If anyone in the mortgage space wants to understand how I’ve done this I’m happy to share.

I am very happy for you, Billy Burg, the Romeo of Puerto Rico. I know you had a rough past 12 months and consider you one of my best friends, my man. Nothing in the world I would not do for you. That is what I wanted to do. I have a 42 foot motorhome and travel the country since I have 12 dogs, I cannot fly. I love the water and would love to live in a yacht. I am not too familiar on catamarans so you need to educate us inland people about boats, catamarans, and yatchs my man. Hope everything is well and please share your future journey being a skipper and living on a boat. Literally living the dream.
