Hi all,
I have an opportunity with a new job in Jamaica for 2 years and would like to discuss with anyone about the general security and accommodation and general living situation on the Island. What are the dos and dont when travelling, and going out at night? My girlfriend will also be coming with me and we have heard that women in general have to be very careful when travelling (especially at night). Where would be good location to be based? The offices of my potential employer are based in Kingston and I would like to know where I could be based that would be secure, comfortable, but also easy to commute to Kingston.
Also, what is the property like in the surrounding areas? What would one be able to rent for around US $1500 per month? Would you also recommend a secure accommodation development? We want to live peacefully but we dont want to feel like we are under guard 24/7 as we want to be part of the island and appreciate it if you know what I mean. Also, this may sound like a crazy question, maybe the ladies on this site can help here, but what are the medical facilities like when it comes to things like contraception (female pill) as my girlfriend has to take certain type? Look forward to your assistance.

Hi,
My husband lives in Jamaica so from visiting the island pretty frequently, I would say areas live Red Hills, Havendale, Cherry Gardens, and Liguenie are pretty safe areas. There are also some apartment complex's that have 24/7 security guard presence. I can ask my husband about other areas.
The medical facilities are pretty decent. I'll ask him about them as well.
I was looking to work in Jamaica as well, how did you find the job opportunity? Please advise. If you'd like, we can talk off line about this further.

I have been to Jamaica 5 times and love it. I really been interested moving there since my first visit. I'm interested in someone letting me know any one in the MBJ area that has a nice two bedroom home and is pretty reasonable on the rent. I also need to know any websites on getting documents together to get ready to move there. Any websites on schools my son is 10 years old and I know a driver already there to transport him. I need to know if schooling cost alot. please help me I'm a single mother but, I have met alot of really nice Jamaicans that I hang and visit each trip so, I'm no stranger to the area. I just need websites and a nice place to live. Thanks

Hi Steve
My husband and I maybe be moving to Kingston Jamaica in 2 months where he was offered a position and have been checking the websites for some information particularly on security and hygiene. I'm also trying to make new friends in Jamaica. I understand your girlfriend will be joining you so perhaps we could all hang out sometime when we're there. By the way, if you know of any good expat clubs do let us know. All the best and hope you have a good relocation trip!! I can be reached at anthea_190@hotmail.com
