I spent some time in La Union during April and I was pleasantly surprised. It is not as noisy as I expected and the people who lived near mi novia where very pleasant. There was general agreement that if you lived on, or near, the street that is the access road to the new development there is a lot more traffic (as you would expect).
As far as rents go I found that you would pay half of what a comparable apartment would cost in the centre of El Batey.
The cost of a carro publico is 20 pesos during the day and 25 at night, I believe gua-guas are 5 pesos less, but they are often full when thay get to La Union. Not sure what moto concho would cost but I would guess less than 100 pesos.
