RELOCATING TO PUERTO RICO UNDER ACT 60?

ACT 60 RELOCATION STARTS WITH MORE THAN A PROPERTY SEARCH

Relocating under Puerto Rico’s Act 60 can involve important decisions about where to live, whether to rent or buy, and how your real estate plans fit into the larger move. INCANTO provides local real estate and relocation guidance to help you evaluate communities, housing options, and the practical considerations surrounding your transition to Puerto Rico.

PLANNING YOUR MOVE

ACT 60 RELOCATION IS ALSO A REAL ESTATE DECISION

Moving to Puerto Rico under Act 60 often brings questions that go beyond the incentive itself.

Where should you live? Should you rent first or purchase? Would an urban neighborhood, gated community, resort residence, or new development better fit your plans?

At INCANTO, we help you evaluate those real estate and relocation decisions together so your property search reflects how you actually plan to live in Puerto Riconot simply what is available online.

Whether you are still exploring the move or already planning your arrival, understanding your housing options early can help you make more informed decisions about the transition ahead.

WHERE SHOULD YOU LIVE IN PUERTO RICO?

There is no single community that works for every person relocating to Puerto Rico. The right location depends on your daily routine, family needs, work, travel, preferred lifestyle, and the type of property you want to own or rent. Clients relocating under Act 60 often explore several areas before deciding where they feel most at home.

Dorado

Dorado may appeal to buyers looking for gated residential communities, private schools, beach access, golf, and resort-oriented living.
SAN JUAN

Condado, Miramar, Old San Juan, and other San Juan neighborhoods offer a more urban experience with restaurants, beaches, cultural amenities, and proximity to the metropolitan business district and airport.
GUAYNABO

Guaynabo offers established residential communities, access to private schools, shopping, and convenient connections to the San Juan metropolitan area.
RESORT COMMUNITIES

Puerto Rico also offers resort residential options including Dorado Beach, Bahía Beach, Rio Mar, and Palmas del Mar for buyers who place a high priority on amenities, recreation, security, and a resort lifestyle.

Rent or Buy?

SHOULD YOU RENT OR BUY WHEN RELOCATING TO PUERTO RICO?

There is no single answer.

Some clients prefer to rent first while they learn the island, experience different communities, and better understand their day-to-day routine. Others arrive with a clear location, timeline, and long-term plan and prefer to purchase from the beginning.

The right decision can depend on factors such as:

How familiar you are with Puerto Rico
How certain you are about the community you want
Your expected length of stay
Whether you are purchasing a primary residence, second home, or investment property
Current inventory and market conditions
Your family, work, and travel plans

For clients relocating under Act 60, the housing decision should be considered within the larger move—not made in isolation.

The goal is not to decide quickly. It is to understand which option gives you the best foundation for the way you plan to live in Puerto Rico.

RESALE OR NEW DEVELOPMENT?

RESALE VS. NEW DEVELOPMENT IN PUERTO RICO

For buyers relocating to Puerto Rico, choosing between a resale property and a new development can involve very different considerations.

A resale may offer an established community, immediate occupancy, and a clearer sense of the surrounding market.
A new development may involve different timelines, deposit structures, upgrade decisions, delivery expectations, and developer agreements that should be understood before committing.

At INCANTO, we help buyers compare those options in the context of their goals, timing, lifestyle, and long-term plans.

WHY EXPERIENCE WITH DEVELOPERS MATTERS

Mariela brings first-hand experience selling luxury residential developments while working directly within the developer sales environment. That perspective can be especially valuable for buyers evaluating new construction or pre-construction because it helps them understand how these opportunities are presented, what questions deserve attention, and how the purchase may differ from a traditional resale.

The objective is not to steer you toward one type of property. It is to help you understand the differences before you decide.

BEFORE YOU BUY

LOCATION & DAILY LIFE

Think beyond the property itself. Work location, schools, airport access, commute, privacy, walkability, recreation, and how you expect to spend your time can all influence which community makes sense.

PRIMARY HOME, SECOND HOME OR LONG-TERM HOLD?

How you plan to use the property can affect the type of home, community, amenities, and level of maintenance that may be right for you.

TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

The purchase price is only one part of the decision. Depending on the property, buyers may also need to consider association fees, insurance, maintenance, utilities, backup power and water systems, and other ongoing ownership costs.

THINK BEYOND THE MOVE-IN DATE

Your needs may change after you have lived in Puerto Rico for some time. Consider whether the property and community can continue to work for your lifestyle and plans beyond the initial relocation.

The right property should make sense not only for your move to Puerto Rico, but for the life you intend to build once you are here.
