Boquete, Panama
What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Boquete?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Boquete is like. They answered...
"We are renting a home. It is typical housing; concrete outside. This home has a lot of wood including ceilings. We just paid for an exterminator to gas the house. It is large. It has 4 bedrooms, one barely larger than a closet. The kitchens in older homes have no drawers. Think table service settings. Small countertop, limited storage in overhead cabinets. My eating area has steel shelving that I brought from the US. It provides storage for the mixer, baking equipment extra dishes and bowls. It's has a very Restoration Hardware look about it. I think that new construction has limited storage space as well. If you have books or dvds, buy shelving. Linen closets often don't exist. I store my linens and fabric in antique suitcases. Even if you buy kitchenware in Panama, you have to store it somewhere," wrote a member who made the move to Alto Boquete, Panama.

"Typical construction of homes in Boquete, or all of Panama, is lack of insulation. During rainy season the rain drops, size of marbles on a tin roof is deafening. You may want to keep ear plugs nearby," explained one expat living in Boquete, Panama.
