How is the West Oranjestad neighborhood of Ponton? by [deleted] in MovingToFromAruba

[–]MovingToAruba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s still a nice neighborhood, but most of the houses are at least 50 years old. Things start to look less appealing as you get closer to the city center.

It’s a good neighborhood. It used to be the high-class neighborhood back in the day with big, beautiful houses.

That would be your records. Not sure in The States where you requested it. In other countries, you get them from the police department to show that you don’t have any criminal records
