What do I need to know before moving to Westmoorings?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Westmoorings, they said:
"Westmoorings is a residential area located in the region of Diego Martin in Trinidad and Tobago, known for its upscale homes and peaceful environment. Before moving to Westmoorings, expats should know that the cost of living is relatively high compared to other parts of Trinidad and Tobago due to its upscale nature. The area is safe and secure, with gated communities and 24-hour security services, making it a popular choice for expats and affluent locals. Westmoorings is home to a number of international schools, making it an ideal location for expats with children. The area is also close to several shopping centers, restaurants, and recreational facilities, providing a variety of entertainment options. Public transportation is not as reliable or widespread in Westmoorings, so having a personal vehicle is recommended for getting around. The official language of Trinidad and Tobago is English, but the local dialect can sometimes be difficult to understand for newcomers. The climate in Westmoorings, like the rest of Trinidad and Tobago, is tropical, with high temperatures and humidity levels throughout the year. Healthcare facilities in Westmoorings are of a high standard, but it is recommended to have comprehensive health insurance as medical costs can be high. Expats should also be aware of the local customs and traditions in Trinidad and Tobago, as the country has a diverse culture with influences from Africa, India, China, and Europe. Lastly, while Trinidad and Tobago is generally welcoming to foreigners, it's important for expats to respect local laws and customs to ensure a smooth transition," said one expat in Westmoorings.
