Why do people move to Panama City?

Answer this Question

When we asked people why foreigners move to Panama City, they responded...

"If you are thinking about coming to Panama, I suggest you consider staying in Albrook (in the former Canal Zone) which is close to Panama City but provides a refreshingly different environment away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The entire community was built by the Americans so you have reliable American infrastructure (underground utilities, sewer system, copper plumbing in the houses, reliable electricity, lightning protection, the best drinking water in all of Panama, and clean air (close to the ocean and no incinerators). Albrook touches up against the jungle in many parts. The Americans prohibited killing the animals so there is lots of wildlife here. I run an Airbnb here and also rent out rooms directly. Many of my guests use my home as a base for further explorations throughout Panama as they decide where they want to settle down. Some, like me, have decided to stay in Albrook. Albrook is a quiet, safe neighborhood, away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the City. You will see people walking and jogging every morning and evening. We are within walking distance of ~15 places to eat ranging from food trucks, to bars, to restaurants. Here are my Airbnb links: A Special Tropical Home Upstairs Guest Bedroom w/Balcony, Downstairs Guest Bedroom and Master Bedroom," explained one expat living in Panama City, Panama.
