Neighborhood

Mar Chiquita Condominiums is a 42 unit, gated (remote), professionally administrated complex located in Manati, Puerto Rico. The grounds are well maintained and safe.

There are several paved country roads to choose for easy access to the [east/west] Highway (Rt. 22) or commercial, secondary Rt. 2, approx. 10 minutes away, driving. Modern hospital and emergency room also nearby.

Police are nearby and tourist friendly--yet strict on highway law enforcement. Drive the limit. Tourism is the main industry in PR. Although the crime rate in PR rivals mainland tourist and metro areas, tourists are statistically very safe here. In any case, standard precautions are the norm.

Manati is located directly north and central on the Island. The City of San Juan is located approx. 45 minutes drive to the east.
Manati is a center for large American Pharmaceutical complexes and local Pineapple farming. Dairy farms, and horses are a common sight. The central location makes it convenient for exploring other surrounding Island spots and the major route south (rt. 10) is also relatively close by. Arecibo, home of the Worlds largest single radio telescope is a 20 minute drive west.

Manati is host to one of Puerto Rico’s six AAA baseball teams, the Manati Athenians, owned by NY Mets’ second-baseman, Tony Valentin, who plays regularly along with many other popular Winter-league, Caribbean series players. The ball park is 15 minutes away.

This home is well suited for either a unique, quiet vacation in a distinct cultural setting or a convenient stay for someone with family or business ties to the Island. Spanish is heard primarily, however, many locals eagerly accommodate English.
