Moving to Maraval, Trinidad & Tobago

"Maraval is a suburb in the city of Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, known for its upscale residential areas and golf courses. Before moving to Maraval, expats should be aware of several factors. Firstly, the cost of living in Maraval is relatively high compared to other parts of Trinidad and Tobago due to its upscale nature. This includes housing, groceries, and other daily expenses. Secondly, Maraval is known for its safety and security compared to other parts of Trinidad and Tobago. However, like any other place, it is always important to take personal safety precautions. Thirdly, the primary language spoken in Maraval, like the rest of Trinidad and Tobago, is English. However, the local dialect can sometimes be difficult to understand for newcomers. Fourthly, Maraval has a tropical climate with high temperatures and humidity throughout the year. It is important to be prepared for this type of weather, especially if you are not used to it. Fifthly, Maraval is home to a diverse mix of cultures and religions. It is important to respect these differences and to be open to learning about new cultures and traditions. Lastly, public transportation in Maraval is not as reliable or frequent as in other parts of the world. Therefore, having a personal vehicle can be very beneficial for getting around. However, driving in Trinidad and Tobago can be challenging due to different driving habits and road conditions," said one expat who made the move to Maraval.
