I moved to Puerto Rico at the age of 15, and I lived there for the next ten years of my life. The best thing about having moved there was my daughter. Real estate at the time was not in my plans. But looking back now, I wish it had been.

If you want a laid-back lifestyle, this is one of the best places to invest in real estate. I will share the best places realtors are suggesting you invest.

Puerto Rico is a vacationer’s dream, with about 300 beautiful beaches, lush mountains, delicious food, a rich culture, and sunny weather all year round. In 1917, Puerto Rico, which is made up of more than a hundred small islets and cays, became a U.S. territory. Its main island is now split into six different regions, each with its own activities and sights. Whether you want to learn about the history of San Juan, take in the natural beauty of the Central Mountains, or relax on the coast and watch the sunset, Puerto Rico’s sights will blow you away. And people who want to buy a second home are paying attention.

I read in an article that Brian Aronson, a broker with Clubhouse Real Estate, said, “Puerto Rico as a whole is experiencing a boom, and the next five years look to be a very exciting time to invest in real estate here.” “Buyers can choose from a wide range of vacation homes, not just in the Caribbean but also in warmer climates. Over the years, Puerto Rico has come a long way in catching up to other desirable places and can now compete with anywhere. There aren’t enough new buildings being built to meet demand, so what’s already there is selling like hotcakes.”

So, if you are looking for a second home in a tropical paradise, Puerto Rico has what you need. Here are the Isla del Encanto real estate markets that brokers say are the most popular.

Let’s start with San Juan, because why not. If you arrive by plane and choose San Juan Munoz Marin Airport, you will be arriving at your investment home in no time.

SAN JUAN

 

San Juan is the oldest city on a U.S. territory, and it has been around for more than 500 years. Everyone can find something to do in Puerto Rico’s most populated city. Its cobblestone streets, colonial buildings, and many historical sites will take you back in time, while its lively nightlife, luxury resorts, trendy restaurants, and shops are for people who like to live in the present.

Aronson says that second-home buyers are most interested in the oceanfront neighborhoods of Ocean Park and Condado, where sales have gone up by a huge 75 percent since last year. Realtor.com says that the median listing price for a home in Viejo San Juan is $2.2 million, making it the most expensive neighborhood in the city right now.

VIEQUES

 

Vieques is a beautiful island that is seven miles from the east coast of Puerto Rico’s main island. People come here to see Mosquito Bay, which is one of the brightest bioluminescent bays in the world and one of nature’s most amazing sights. La Isla Nena, as it is also called, is a nature lover’s paradise because it has the largest and most diverse national wildlife refuges in the Caribbean. The lush island is home to native plants, rare birds, and marine mammals like dolphins, orcas, and humpback whales. This makes it a great place to go whale watching. People can also hike along the island’s many trails to find all of its hidden corners and beautiful spots.

Enjoy a Vieques tour here. It will not disappoint. 

RINCON

Rincón is the perfect place for beach lovers. Some of the best surf breaks in the world are in this town. The laid-back atmosphere, small restaurants and shops, and many surfing schools bring water sports fans from all over. But there is a lot more to do here than just surf. Snorkeling, kayaking, horseback riding, mountain biking, whale watching, fishing, or just relaxing on the beach and watching Rincón’s famously beautiful pink sunsets will keep you busy.

Even though the number of homes sold has gone up by more than 50% since last year, second-home buyers can still choose from a wide range of properties. Realtor.com says that the median price of a home for sale in Rincón is $425,000, making it one of the more affordable coastal towns in Puerto Rico.

PALMAS DEL MAR

In the past few years, this gated resort community in the southeast has become very popular, especially among remote workers and people who work in the crypto industry. It’s easy to see why. Palmas del Mar is the largest master-planned community in Puerto Rico. It has two 18-hole golf courses, a marina, and an equestrian club, and it sits on more than six dreamy acres of seafront land.

“Palmas del Mar, the largest residential and tourist community on Puerto Rico’s magical island, has the largest tennis court center in the whole Caribbean.”

Excellent schools, lively nightlife, lots of restaurants, and more than two dozen neighborhoods make for a high-class way of life in the perfect tropical setting.

CULEBRA

 

Culebra is the place to go if your idea of a perfect vacation is a quiet, beautiful beach far from the crowds and noise of popular resorts. This small island is part of the Puerto Rican archipelago. It is 45 minutes east of the main island and can be reached by a quick and beautiful ferry ride. In fact, snorkeling and diving are a must here because the Culebra National Wildlife Refuge has beautiful coral reefs, lagoons, and seagrass beds where you can often see sea turtles, and manta rays, and many different kinds of colorful fish. Flamenco Beach on the north side of Culebra is often ranked as one of the best in the world because of its turquoise water.

Culebra’s real estate market has something for every buyer, whether they want a one-bedroom condo with resort-style amenities in a gated community or a stand-alone villa with beautiful ocean views.

Getting there
Culebra is 32 kilometers (20 miles) from the coast of Fajardo on the eastern side of Puerto Rico. You can only get there by boat or a small airplane. Most boats leave from Fajardo’s Puerto Del Rey Marina.

Travel with Viator to Culebra and see for yourself the beauty this island has to offer.
