"The cost of living in Whitehouse, is relatively affordable compared to many other locations. Housing costs are generally low, with options ranging from modest apartments to more luxurious villas. The cost of groceries and dining out is also quite reasonable, with local markets offering fresh produce at lower prices. Public transportation is widely available and inexpensive, although owning a car can be costly due to high import taxes. Utilities such as electricity and water can be more expensive than in some other countries, and the cost of internet service is also relatively high. Healthcare is generally affordable, but it's recommended to have health insurance as private healthcare can be expensive. Overall, while the cost of living is low compared to many places, it's important to note that wages in Jamaica are also generally lower," remarked one in Whitehouse.
