What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Panama City?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Panama City is like. They answered...
"Right now, my room is comparable in size to a prison cell, but it's clean, there is WiFi, a TV,a desk, a small fridge, and my own bathroom. (Only window is in the bathroom!) Oh, and a bed! A communal kitchen/lounge is available when wanted. Last night was as noisy as all get-out. Hope it won't be a regular thing-earplugs, perhaps. This area is VERY popular with expats; fortunately I know a few of them, so I have someone to advise and direct me, if I need help," remarked another expat in Panama City, Panama.
"Depends which part of Panama City you live. We chose to buy a new high rise Condo, 100 meters = 1076 sq ft. Plenty of space for 2 bedroom and 2.5 bath. We always dreamed of living in a high-rise condo in the US when we downsized, and this place does not disappoint! 24/7 Front Desk Security. They deliver my mail to my door. High end Gym, Pool, Jacuzzi, Game Room, Paddle Ball, Social area, wine lockers, parking garage, storage locker(I bought it, but it was like $6,500 only). Walking distance to shops. And fiber optic internet. Spanish helps and working on it. Although, just try most locals know a little Spanish. And many of the Expats are from other Latin American Countries, and many of them speak English fine," said a member in Panama City, Panama.
