Just moved here 1 months ago and Crime rate is something to consider -Caguas zona urbana sits at 2,771.8 per 100K. With a population of 72,862, Caguas zona urbana is a smaller city. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The suburbs are where most families end up. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Worth the trade-offs? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Hot take but there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. I know a lot of people disagree but after 5 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.
I've been here 13 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the food scene is legit. And if you're into rock climbing, this place is surprisingly good.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value traffic, you'll love it. The safety is genuinely pretty good and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (North) is wild and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Phoenix, be prepared for the culture shock. community vibe is completely different here. And Not very walkable outside downtown.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

We moved here with our family and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Schools in Westside area are tough. Kids love it here.

I'm a sales manager and I've found I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The community is pretty good and there's always something going on.
