"The cost of living in Santa Tecla is considered to be relatively low compared to many other cities around the world. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center is affordable, while outside the city center, it is even cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage is also quite low. Groceries are also reasonably priced in Santa Tecla. Local markets offer fresh produce, meat, and other staples at lower prices than in many Western countries. Eating out at restaurants is also quite affordable, with a meal at an inexpensive restaurant costing less than what one would expect to pay in many other countries. Transportation costs are also low in Santa Tecla. Public transportation is widely available and affordable. Gasoline prices are lower than in many other countries, making car ownership more feasible for many residents. Healthcare in Santa Tecla is also relatively affordable, with costs for both private and public healthcare services being lower than in many other countries. However, it's important to note that while these costs may seem low to foreigners, they must be considered in relation to the average local salary, which is also lower than in many other countries," wrote a member who made the move to Santa Tecla, El Salvador.
