Retiring in Puerto Rico
Retire in Puerto Rico, amidst the soft sand beaches, mountains and rain forests.
An island with a 580 km coastline, with sister islands Palomino, Culebra, Vieques and Culebrita and many more, retiring in Puerto Rico is as close to heaven as it gets. Puerto Rico is considered as a “Commonwealth’ country by the United Status.
The US is working to inculcate the model of saving for retirement in Puerto Rico. The medical benefits of retirement can be availed by those who retire in Puerto Rico. You don’t need a passport to visit the place and enjoy a quiet life away from the hustle of regular work-life. All in all, you’re invited to retire in Puerto Rico.
The island is surrounded by deep oceans, dotted with coral-rich reefs that are home to varied species of marine life. The climate is pleasant at a regular 26 degrees C, which makes it warm and sunny through most of the year. Hurricane season takes up the period November to April.
Commonwealth status means you could be retiring in Puerto Rico and continuing to receive Medicare facilities. As a US citizen, you could own property, an attractive option with the low property taxes. Though there is little financial advantage, read no tax relief (local tax replaces IRA), many people look forward to retiring in Puerto Rico because of the lower cost of living. The attraction for retirees is the medical treatment that’s less pricey than the US and continuing Medicare facilities. Puerto Rico’s legal framework is designed to take care of the needs of the elder populations. Experts and consultants are available for the care and safety of elders who have chosen to retire in Puerto Rico. Adult communities have been developed keeping in mind the needs of the elderly and active.
What kind of lifestyle do you plan to have after you retire in Puerto Rico. This country offers an option for all preferences. Whether it is a home in the mountains or on the beach, in the urban areas or in the quiet interiors, the options beckon.
Is it a home in the mountains you dream of? San German, the City of Hills, could be the place for you. An alternative is a house in the mountain town of Adjuntas or Lago Dos Bocas near Utuado. If it’s the urban hustle you’d like to avoid, the cities Utuado and Arecibo are good choices.
Are beaches your preference? Numerous beach areas like Fajardo and Ceiba on the East Coast, and the nearby islands of Culebra and Vieques with their nearby condominiums are worth considering. Condado and Isla Verde, on San Juan and Luquillo offer idyllic beaches with a vast expanse of calm waters.
Rincon and Isabela are rough beaches suitable for surf-buffs. The West coast is more laid back though well developed. You can consider the beach Cabo Rojo on the west. In case you’d like to keep pace with the up market urban metros look at Bayamon, San Juan, Santurce, Caguas Carolina and Rio Pedras.
If you prefer retiring in Puerto Rico among its hills, welcome to San German, the City of Hills. An alternative is a house in the mountain town of Adjuntas or Lago Dos Bocas near Utuado. The cities of Utuado and Arecibo are located away from the urban metros.
The temperature is even for most part of the year, neither too hot nor too cold. Expenses on air conditioning and internal heating are spared. Apart from San Juan, the cost of living in Puerto Rico is lower when compared to other cities of America. Property prices and rents are very low and there is no property tax.
