My husband and I have decided to take the plunge and leave our east coast Canada home and move our young family to Panama.

I am searching for some advice on areas...

My husband works for himself and will be on 4 week rotations abroad so I will be on my own with our lovely little 22 month old daughter.

Were open to areas as long as its within about an hour to the Panama Airport

We have been looking at Panama City and Coronado area

What we would like is an area with a mix of young families and activities for both mom and tot.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Were flying down in January to scout out areas

If you would like to be with contact to other expats, gated communities near the USEmbassy are a good option in Panama City. One is called Embassy Gardens. Coronado is definitely more than an hour drive from the airport. Good luck!

Yes, Clayton would be a good area for a family. Also Albrook, and Panama Pacifico would be good places to look. San Francisco is close to the airport but is more urban and high rise. The closest decent beach town is Gorgona but that's just a bit closer than Coronado.

congrats! the city might have a lot to do for adults and kids. a much healthier and quieter life style would be on the beaches. Coronado only option 1 hr from city. The beaches have schools and plenty of activities and younger expat families too. The city is too noisy and polluted. The problem with Albrook: airplane noise above your head, Panama Paifico traffic nightmare.
