"The cost of living in Westmoorings is considered to be relatively high compared to other areas in the country. This is largely due to its status as an upscale residential area, located near the capital city of Port of Spain. Housing is the most significant expense, with prices for both rentals and purchases being quite high. The cost of groceries and dining out is also higher than the national average, although there are options available for different budgets. Utilities such as electricity, water, and internet are also more expensive, reflecting the overall higher cost of living in this area. Transportation costs can vary, depending on whether one owns a vehicle or uses public transportation. Owning a vehicle can be quite costly, considering the cost of the vehicle itself, fuel, maintenance, and insurance. Public transportation, while more affordable, is not as reliable or convenient. Healthcare is another significant expense, with both public and private healthcare facilities available. Private healthcare is more expensive, but it generally offers a higher standard of care. Overall, while the cost of living in Westmoorings is high, it offers a high standard of living with access to many amenities and services," said one expat in Westmoorings.
