Moving to San Juan.....didn't think the news would come so fast since my husband's interview was only yesterday. I am from NYC/NJ and my husband is from south Brazil. We have lived in DC, Milwaukee and most recently Phoenix. We are also expecting our first child in July, so we have plenty of time to start worrying out the education situation in PR. For now, we just need to find a place to live close to my husband's job at Plaza Bahia/ Paseo Caribe. I think this is in the Fuerte Geronimo area. We would like affordable, safe and walking distance if possible. I was open to a whole range of neighborhoods before I saw this

My husband would have to walk home at night, so I guess Old San Juan is out, since there is a big stretch of "not safe for walking at night" and "never enter under any circumstance." Does anyone know if this map is accurate?
I guess we'll have to expand our budget a bit for Condado, so my next question is how do we find a rental? I've tried zillow, enceuntra24.com, craigslist PR, but it seems to pretty limited. Are there any secrets to finding a long term rental on an island full of vacation rentals?
Lastly, Dorado seems to be where all of the Americans are and could be an option depending on the San Juan traffic. Any advice would be appreciated? I have to say that map is kind of terrifying, but we are excited to try something new. Thanks!
