Palmas Del Mar: The Best Place To Live in Puerto Rico 

+q

That beautiful there 😍

Bayamon, I grew up in Magnolia Gardens and went to La High del pueblo (Agustin Stahl) and till the day it is the best place I have lived. I wish I could go back. Mi Tierra del Encanto.

I don't know what the average Puerto Rican can afford but the majority of homes here are owned by local Puerto Ricans. You can buy a 2 bedroom condo right by the beach for about $200k which is pretty reasonable IMO. -P

Fstoppers hey you think that making 7.25 an hr, which is regular paid in Puerto Rico, is enough to buy a condo for 200k?. I don’t know in what country you live. But to make that kind of money you need to have maybe a governor position... my nice work for a private company from USA, have a master degree in finance, and doesn’t make to even 70k a year... so do your numbers... hope you can have that kind of nice life in my country, enjoy when you can....

@@ursinamoskwa8962 Not everybody in the island lives of minimum salary wage. Many run their own small businesses. What kills it for the average islander specially local entrepreneurs is the absurd number of licenses and permits people need to start or worst re start a business after a natural disaster.

Ursina Moskwa the poor people makes $7.25 but two professionals working in good jobs or having a business or Self Employment like: Insurance Broker, Lawyer, Doctor, CPA etc makes more than $200K a year. If you have that in your mind is because you have a poor mentality and bank account.

@@francisaparicio2765 that doesn't matter the average puerto rican there even if thier not poor probably wont be able to afford a 200k house.

Yeah he is fasho

nah he goin to dorado

Nobody cares about logan paul

@@jaysoreal9292 haters gon hate

he moved to Dorado!

Hi Jennifer! My husband and I are in the early stages of deciding about making the big move, and we'd like to see the communities. Would we have to get a realtor even if we are only wanting to see the communities first since all of the homes are within gated sections?

I think that you’ll see more if you have a realtor. We had amazing realtors, one who happens to be speaking quite a bit in this video.

Better place is - Jamaica

EcuatorianoenNewYork TV You are sick.

@Hyper_Zexd w correct, when mask shootings start.

@V Saying Puerto Rico is a beautiful Place. It is a super funded landfill island.

Beautiful* and thanks :D

@Hyper_Zexd Puerto Rico Sucks 🇵🇷

Hi... What is the name of the place in Moca? Looks like the town is close enough to the coast.

@@Dangic23 Moca is a village of ignorant peasants who live off agriculture. They don't have universities, shopping centers, or even a Steak House. The only places you can live in Puerto Rico away from the metropolitan area are Cabo Rojo, Ramey Base and Ponce with controlled access. Puerto Rico is a place of high crime, terrible services and worse roads, where you find chronic heroin addicts at every stoplight.

@@Los_Chanchulleros are you even from PR?

@@nvreymundi no, no, claro que no, solo me estoy imaginando a más del 60% de la población con la Tarjeta de la Familia en el bolsillo y Reggaetón en la cabeza.

@@Los_Chanchulleros de donde eres? Mexico? :0 if you're gonna talk badly about our country might as well leave :)

HELLO beautiful Queen

Que carajo dices??? what shit you talking about? I’m from Humacao and yes this is Palmas del mar close to Buena Vista and Candelero Abajo mijo busca informacion y fotos o ve visita el area Este Humacao para que no quede en ridiculo tu comentario 😂😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

My main concerns were always 1) reliable power and water, 2) reliable internet, 3) a home that was reasonably priced that had enough space for a photo studio, 4) lots of activities so I wouldn't get bored, and 5) a good community to actually feel fulfilled in my day to day life. Oh and 6) would be safety which I def feel here. I'm not sure every other part of the island would check off all these buckets but many of them excel in #4. -P

@@FStoppers I hear that and respect it. But me personally I own 2 houses in Aguadilla that were under $80k each. I also have an electric 400 gallon water tank equipped that will continue to provide water through all my water pipes including the toilet, shower even when the water is gone. a generator in my basement for power. My internet works perfectly fine as well. I'm a Hurricane Maria survivor. I never had to leave the island for me resource. That area is waaay too expensive for me personally.

@@FStoppers and of course lastly, no Americanized feel where I live. Does not remind me of Florida on the west.

well ameeica own the island so ofcouse alot of them would come here.

it is way to americanized for me to doesn't even look like an island

Si pero solamente buscan sitios así, segregados de comunidades predominantemente puertorriqueñas

@@nvreymundi Asi tiene que ser o crees que buscaran ghettos

To Mexico!!!??? You're crazy, Mexico IS NOT what is used to be.

@@IAMBENNYBLANCO. 🤔😂I'm not crazy and I go every year to Mexico. 🤷‍♀️maybe lil nutty though but NOT CRAZY😂😂😂👊🏼

Yo Charlie PR’s 100x better.

​​@@smiley6173yes you are! Mexico is a third world country full of drugs, cartel and criminality!!! Puerto Rico is the richest country in latinamerica. Go to Mexico if you are poo🇵🇷r🇵🇷

It is

I will help you with that, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tt-mpuR_QHQ.html

Don’t we don’t want you in the island.

Gary Jahman with Amsterdam being one of my all time favorite cities in the world, the non stop summer weather of Puerto Rico makes me want to hop on a flight to Schiphol! -P

Be sure to go outside of hurricane season.

Uhh, hurricanes? Puerto Rico has been hammered by them.

I love the Netherlands! Was just in Lieden, Hague, Amersfoort and Utrecht. Wonderful people and county. Can find the best "French Fries" in the world. I am hungry for a Frikandel with fries and mayo! "Netherlands First USA second!" Can't believe it's been over three years;: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ELD2AwFN9Nc.html Come to Puerto Rico!

Mac McMillen not really, Maria was bad and maybe a few more in the last 30 years. It’s not as bad as people make it out to be. Like I said, most hurricanes become super storms well after they pass Puerto Rico. -P

will you pls elaborate on what you mean by 'not the standard of living of the rest of PR'? I am considering Palmas and would love feedback - thanks!

@@maiomai8277 Palmas del Mar is the second highest cost of living resort in Puerto Rico just behind Dorado. The average income in Palmas Del Mar is above $90,000.00(the average). The average income in Puerto Rico is a little more than $21,000.00. If you can afford it (probably yes) nothing wrong with that. We love it there but, we decided to own a nice house in a close gated community but much less expensive.

@@ericpizarro3084 thank you for the honest response. May I inquire whether there are non Spanish speaking folks in your community? Like you, I don't want to buy into the hype madness of areas like dorado and Palmas, but have little knowledge about other neighborhoods on the island. Would appreciate recommendations. Thanks 🙏

@@maiomai8277 absolutely yes! Actually there are as far a I know three new neighbors that have move here from different parts of the USA. We just move back here after many years living in Florida. We love it. Our community place is call. Urb. Los Sauces Humacao, PR. Still this is not like Palmas Del Mar. Finally I am seeing a housing prices increase.

@@ericpizarro3084 many thanks 🙏

Vadim Daskal having been to both as well, I feel like Dorado Beach East is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. However, much of DBE doesn’t have a great view of the ocean at all unless you own/rent a beach front property. -P

What other places are similar for family quality of life? I'm moving soon.

I think it's what suits your lifestyle.

That's your opinion...no one cares..

Hello beautiful Queen

Wow, you must be fun at parties. How about you name one and see if people agree with you. "10 times better"?

Al P currently hanging out in Rincon and although it has a cool vibe and I do like their food options and surfing, things like traffic and lack of good hardwired internet and cell service make life a bit more difficult. I do like it out here though, but Palmas is prob better on the grand scheme of things. -P

Freddie I. False. The most expensive area is Dorado Beach East. Second would be Palmas del Mar.

That's because is a state run entity and anything run by the state sucks.

A comer chicharron 😂

Y yo en carola q coscu se mame un bicho 😂

@@johanreillo8403 yo me quedé en Bo Ortiz Toa Alta Puerto Rico

The secret is out. Expect more people from the mainland.

THIS IS THE COMMENT I WAS SEARCHING FOR THANK YOU

@@HeadStronger-HS your mainland is not OUR mainland.

@@ivettesanabria6688 what? You guys are citizens, and half of Puerto Rican’s are in the states right now. No one is complaining up here.

@@HeadStronger-HS true, a lot of puertoricans do live in the states, but I don't see any of them creating puertorican living bubbles and calling them the best there is in the states. How do you think the people of China would feel if you go there, build a community of americans and call it the best living community in China??? Or anywhere else for that matter. I don't argue that Palmas is indeed beautiful and a nice place to live, but have some respect, man.

Strangely enough, I feel like the weather in Puerto Rico is more predictable than anywhere I've lived before. There are essentially two seasons, wet in the summer and dry in the winter. The only real difference between the two is the summer is about 10 degrees hotter and there is no wind at all. In the winter, it is cooler and the wind picks up (which is good for kiteboarding but bad for boating). Of course there are hurricanes in the summer/fall but as I've said before, most storms become hurricanes after Puerto Rico and I was much more affected by hurricanes when living in South Carolina and the Panhandle area of Florida. The reason I say the weather is more predictable here is that every single day it is beautiful with warm weather and then it rains 1-6 times a day for 10 mins max. Every where else I lived, it could be overcast and rainy for days, and then beautiful for days with no rain, and then tornadoes, and then snow, and the ocean would be warm half the year and then freezing the other half. Puerto Rico does feel more consistent but I will say, lacking the seasons does take it's toll on me in that I get bored with 70-80 degrees every single day. -P

@@FStoppers Indeed, our family lived in St. Croix for most of my childhood (10+ years) and loved every minute of it, including the beautiful weather. We lived oceanfront on the Northwest side of the island "Countryside". Always the BEST sunsets on the West side! Every region has it's natural risks and vulnerabilities, agreed. California comes with it's fair share of faults including: droughts, fires, floods, mudslides, earthquakes and the toxic "political climate" that has lead many to abandon this once great State for more affordable and rational destinations. But hey that's a different topic. Maybe it is time to move back to the USVI :) Living on an island quickly teaches one how to be prepared, grateful and conservative in the use of all things. These lessons I've honored and cherished all my life. From my "limiited" experience conservation becomes essential and the "take it for granted entitlements" quickly abandoned in order to conform and reduce wasteful habits. If you live on an island you live by a different set of practical rules. As a family we would always be prepared with plumbers candles, lighters, matches, kerosene lamps, batteries, a gasoline generator, flashlights, full cistern, working well pumps, medical kit, bleach, two way radios, 55 gallon drums for rain water collection, machetes and a host of other survival ready contingencies. Thankfully we seldom ever needed to exercise many of these items. Good advice not matter your station, staying prepared in any environment is always a good idea. "Hurricane Parties" is what they were called in the mid to late 60s and 70s. That 4-12 hour lock down period in someones cinder block house was the safe haven until the storm passed and things settled down. Good times! I miss the beauty of it all and all the lessons learned. It's a wonderful place to call "home" and also visit. Puerto Rico wears the crown for one of the richest experiences in the Caribbean region. Gratefully.

If you could afford it? Dude Puerto Rico is one of the most affordable places lol

@@jujasname palmas del mar is expensive

jujasnames j not Palmas de Mar. It’s is a community for rich people. There are better places than Palmas that are more affordable.

YOUR IS INSANE ;PUERTO RICO IS A BEAUTIFUL ISLAND AND AMAZING PLACE TO LIVE. PALMA DEL MAR IS A GREAT AND BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY. SAN JUAN, EL MORRO,EL YUNQUE,OBSERVATORIO DE ARECIBO, FLAMENCO BEACH AND ALL THE ISLAND ARE AMAZING WITH MANY BEAUTY PLACES .PUERTO RICO IS A PARADISE.

@@carlosfranco6577 I think they meant by "insane" as like really awesome, or pretty

Get out of PR you’re the problem.

My God is that what you got out of this video?
