Carolina, PR has a lot to offer. It is located in the metropolitan area. It has Puerto Rico's main airport, tourist areas, a lot of restaurant options, hotels, malls, two large movie theaters and a small one, a few museums, popular beaches, parks, multiple gyms, multiple pharmacy options, different hospitals including the state university' hospital, supermarkets, mega-stores, one state university campus, the main Campus of a private university, multiple industry zones including the pharmaceutical.
Nightlife is very limited and monotonous, there is not much to do during the night. Safety must greatly improve. Maintenance to public infrastructure is necessary. Jobs opportunities are mostly related to the service industry, not much opportunities for young professionals in different fields.

Unfortunately, Carolina is a city completely dependent on the use of cars. For the most part composed of only fast foods, shopping malls and large chain superstores and drugstores such as Walmart, Walgreens and CVS. In the case of titans such as the ones just mentioned, these corporations force local shops and pharmacies out of business. In fact, Puerto Rico in general has the highest number of Walmarts and Walgreens' stores in the world. As a result, Carolina has lost it's identity and charm. Becoming a prime example of the induced americanization of the US territory. And the only interesting part of Carolina, is the zone of Isla Verde which, unsurprisingly, is located right next to the Puerto Rican International Airport. Mistakenly publicized as located in San Juan, when in reality is to prevent from being associated with Carolina's bad reputation.
Love living here! Ive been living since 1995. Everything is nearby malls, hospitals, schools, museums and more.
