"I live in a community in Kingston called Long Mountain Country Club. It is a gated community with 24-hour security in the Liguanea area. The community has apartments and two/three-bedroom townhouses for sale and rent. It also has a pool and a store on the premises. The community also has ex-pats from the USA, Canada, Germany, Isreal, South Africa, Romania, India, China and South America. Great community that is close to the US Embassy, shopping and entertainment," commented one expat who made the move to Jamaica.
