What do I need to know before retiring in Belize City?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Belize City, they said...

"Always travel to Belize first before you move here. Never try to make Belize just like it was for you back home... just accept Belize for what it is and enjoy it. It's an emerging third world country.... not the USA, so keep your expectations in check and go with the flow," said another expat in Belize City, Belize.

"Before retiring in Belize City, expats should be aware that the cost of living is relatively high compared to other parts of the country. Additionally, the city is prone to hurricanes and other natural disasters, so it is important to have a plan in place in case of an emergency. Expats should also be aware that the city is quite diverse, with a mix of cultures and languages, so it is important to be respectful of the local customs and traditions. Finally, expats should research the local healthcare system and ensure that they have access to quality medical care," wrote a member who made the move to Belize City, Belize.
