Housing and rental prices are quite affordable, especially when compared to major cities in countries like the United States or the United Kingdom. The cost of groceries and dining out is also reasonably priced, with local markets offering fresh produce at lower costs. Utilities such as electricity, water, and internet are also less expensive than in many Western countries. However, imported goods and luxury items can be quite expensive due to import taxes and shipping costs. Public transportation is readily available and affordable, but owning a private vehicle can be costly due to high import taxes on vehicles. Healthcare is relatively affordable, but it's worth noting that serious medical conditions may require travel to larger cities or even overseas due to limited facilities. Overall, while the cost of living is low, the average income in Levuka is also lower than in many Western countries," said another expat in Levuka, Fiji.
