If you are thinking about moving to Jamaica, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing...

"Like any other place it all depends on where you're living. My daughter rents a brand new two bedroom low rise in Kingston for $1100usd...she previously rented a large 2 bedroom in Beverly Hills (Kingston) for $900usd. When she first moved back she rented a townhouse in Montego Bay (gated community) for $1000usd. Nice housing is quite affordable and can be found...connect with a realtor," said a member in Jamaica.

"My housing costs are significantly lower than in the US. I am paying 30,000 per month for a two bedrooms with two bathrooms. I was just lucky to get such a deal but the average cost for this apartment is 45,000-65,000 per month. My light bill is 7,000 per month but I run my a/c unit each night just to fall asleep. My water bill is between 500 and 800 per month," remarked another expat who made the move to Falmouth, Jamaica.
