What is the average cost of housing in Ocho Rios?

"I think the housing costs are about the same, since we lived in a very expensive area in the US. That being said, I think that the cost of living here may be higher than in the US. Our supermarket runs are much pricier than back home, and electricity alone is more than triple down here," commented one expat who made the move to Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
