High end Gym, Pool, Jacuzzi, Game Room, Paddle Ball, Social area, wine lockers, parking garage, storage locker(I bought it, but it was like $6,500 only). Walking distance to shops. And fiber optic internet. Spanish helps and working on it. Although, just try most locals know a little Spanish.

And grateful for this opportunity to live a different kind of life and blessed to be here," said one person in Panama City.

Here I can live with a cell phone only," said one expat who made the move to Panama City.
