Reasonable housing that expats would want to live in start at around $200k USD on the mainland. There are condos on the Cayes going for $650k USD . If you have medical problems, especially heart , think how fast you might need to get to a hospital that CAN treat you , Cayes to Belize City about 2 hours , if you have your heart attack in the day. Even in Placencia or Corozal, you would be lucky to get to Belize City or over the border into Mexico in time. On the mainland you will almost certainly require transport, its expensive and gas isnt cheap, on the Cayes golf carts are what are allowed and unless your a resident, you cant own one , bribery does help. If you dont like the local food , imported is expensive and forget good steaks, at the moment. Wine and whiskey can be 6 times the US price. Utilities are expensive and internet the most costly and slowest in the Caribbean. Its a tropical country and you can be plagued by mosquitoes , and its quite normal to have 6" of rain in a morning in the wet season. Theres only one golf course, thats on a Caye, so unless your into fishing and water sports big time , take up knitting.
