Puerto Rico is a beautiful tropical island with all the tastes of paradise that come with the Caribbean – where this island differs though is in its US commonwealth status. As a member of the commonwealth, Puerto Rico has enjoyed decades of political and economic stability, more so than many of its neighbours. As a result of this the country is a very desirable one for many people, and potential off plan investors with money to spend could do a lot worse than looking at the island.

San Juan is the city that sees most of the action in the country, with the air and seaports welcoming endless tourists and business throughout the year. This has made the city incredibly prosperous, and its popularity with tourists means that the beachfronts are littered with hotels, condos and holiday homes – it’s no surprise, therefore, that prices are relatively high, ranging from affordable into the millions. Outside of the capital is where the biggest potential for investment returns are, and though even the rest of the country is pretty expensive by relative standards, there are far more opportunities for bargains and good prices. It will involve a fair bit of searching, but it is possible to get the dream home on the island and still have money left to live off!

The hearty mix of cultures with a modern American feel topping it all off make Puerto Rico a highly desirable place to live. There won’t be bargains galore, but there are still good value properties to be picked up and some real dream locations for those that can afford it. For a Caribbean way of life mixed with the comfort of living at home, Puerto Rico is the best, and probably the only one for the job.
