What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Trinidad & Tobago?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Trinidad & Tobago is like. They answered...
"We live in a 4 bedroom house with a pool and a small garden which is ideal for the children. There is not much land and the houses are generally overlooked by other houses! Also, because of the high crime rate in Trinidad you will find that there are wrought iron bars on all windows and doors. Some do blend in with the houses and after a while you do tend to forget about them - but they are obviously there for a reason," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to West Moorings, Trinidad & Tobago.
"Expat homes and apartments in Trinidad & Tobago tend to be modern and comfortable, with air conditioning, cable TV, and internet access. Many expats choose to live in gated communities, which offer a greater sense of security and privacy. Expat homes and apartments often come with a variety of amenities, such as swimming pools, gyms, and tennis courts. Expats can also find homes and apartments in more traditional neighborhoods, where they can experience the local culture and cuisine," commented one expat who made the move to Trinidad & Tobago.
